Disable Registration - Mobile API Only

[SteveLV702]

I have vBulletin Mobile Suite that I submitted to Apple App Store but was declined because I charge for Classes and so only way to get approved is to remove the "Create Account" when I contacted vBulletin they directed me here to get a hack to disable the registration for Mobile API only...

They say with Registration Disabled for Mobile API the button/link for Create Account should disappear so then can get app approved... Cause thats all Apple wants is for it to be gone...

You can check if you're in the api with


if (VB_API) {
plugin code here...
}

The only downside is I'm not sure how you'd also check to see if the user is using an apple product specificly. I think all of that stuff gets taken care of in the includes/api/1/api_ini.php file.

well point in time don't care if it also disables it on Android & Blackberry too..... as either way will have to come to site anyway to make purchase........

okay what code do I plugin there ? :)

You need to set the vbulletin register varible to 0 I think.


So


if(VB_API)
{
$vbulletin->options['allowregistration'] = "0";
}


Toss that in init_ something or other.

okay to confirm what file this going into make sure doing right...

okay did it and Create An Account button is still there now when click it loads the signup form but gives a popup that registrations are disabled.....

for Apple to Approve the App the "Create An Account" button itself needs to be gone....

I think we've gone over this, but next step is to create a bug report :)
