Indicate USER account status

[stryka]

Alot of times users login and they don't releasize the reason they can't post is cuz they didn't validate the activation email.

Is there any way to have a special msg for registered users who are not validated? somethign like "CLICK HERE" to resend validation or "Check your Junk mail for activation cuz your account is not ACTIVATED?"

The generic no access msg is not clear ...IMHO

you could put something like guests see at the header

Would like something specific... some ppl register and don't even know that they have to request activation email ... cuz their account is not activated

I have to agree. In fact the user activation link and subsequent completion of registration is perhaps the poorest part of vbulletin. It would be great to see the vb team perform a customer user experience and signup pathway to make this more simple and robust.

I have a piece of code in the postbit legacy template for all users that havent verified their account for use of cirtain forums. Perhaps you could use this?

<if condition="$post['field35']"><div class="smallfont"><div class="highlight">Member Status: $post[field35]</div></div></if>

Field 35 is text field called "Account Status" and in it says "unverified". when a user verifies there acount it will be removed.

Im sure it could be played with to do what you want, like:

<if condition="$post['usergroupid'] == xx"><div class="smallfont"><center>Account requires e-mail activation</center></div></if>

You would need to put this in the right place on your postbit or postbit legacy template, and al you need to do is replace xx with the usergroup number that is for account not verified

u can use this code .

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,'3')">
// here ur msg and u can use HTML . this msg only show for registered users who are not validated
</if>

Number 3 that's usergroup id for (Users Awaiting Email Confirmation) ..
and put code in header or any template u want
