WHat?

error_nopermission_awaiting_moderation is for those that have not checked email.

Why would you care to change the names of the templates? They do the exact same thing.

You are just confusing people.

Your hack is great, and there's nothing wrong in the hack, at all.
I just want to make it more detailed, and clear, for those who have the "Moderate New Members" option turned on
People can use your hack, or make changes, of their choice :). Sorry if I made anyone confuse.

here's why:

In USERGROUP list, there're two group called

(COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation -- groupid=4
Users Awaiting Email Confirmation ---- groupid=3

Ofcouse you can use any name that you want to, (it still works with whatever name you call it).

However, "Awaiting Email Confirmation" is a little bit different from "Awaiting Moderation"

If you have your "Verify Email address in registration" option turned on, new users will have to check email before their account is activated. their groupid will be 3.
(so, you can call them "awaiting email confirmation", or "awaiting moderation", it doesnt matter)

The problem comes up when you have the "Moderate New Members" option turned on.
After a new member verify his/her email (if this option turned on) by click on the activation link, he/she will be moved to groupid4, which is (COPPA) Users Awaiting Moderation. So, this group is for both COPPA AND other members who's waiting for moderation. What should you call these members, but "awaiting moderation", as the group name is?

I'd add some more detail on the templates, and change their names, to fit my need.

My replacement code would be:
(PLEASE NOTE that, I've CHANGED the TEMPLATE names, to fit my need, DONT be confused. If you apply hacks, you should understand what you are doing )

Code:

// ###################### Start show_nopermission #######################

function show_nopermission() {

global $bbtitle,$logincode,$url,$scriptpath,$bbuserinfo,$session;



// generate 'logged in as:' box or username and pwd box

if (!$logincode) {

$logincode=makelogincode();

} else if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission_loggedout")."\");");

} else if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 3) {

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission_awaiting_email_confirmation")."\");");

} else if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 4) {

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission_awaiting_moderation" )."\" );" );

} else {

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission_loggedin")."\");");

}

exit;

}

and, the two templates are:

template1:error_nopermission_awaiting_email_confirmation

Code:

<p align="center">ATTENTION! ACTION IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU CAN POST:<br>



You have recently registered at $bbtitle but <b>have not activated your account.</b>



</p>



<p align="left">



<br>



When you registered, an email was automatically sent to the address $bbuserinfo[email]. That 



email  has a link you need to click on to activate your account. You will 



not be able to post until you click on the activation link within that email and enter your email address. 



If you did not received the activation email or you have already deleted it,

 <a href="register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=requestemail">click here</a> 

 to receive the email again. </p>







<p>If you still don't receive your activation email, then you have probably entered an

 incorrect email address. You can correct it by editing your 

 <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editprofile">profile</a>.



</p>

template2: error_nopermission_awaiting_moderation

Code:

<p align="center"><font color=red><b>ATTENTION! YOUR ACCOUNT IS UNDER MODERATION:</b></font><br>



You have recently registered at $bbtitle. However, your account <b>have not been activated.</b>



</p>



<p align="left">



<br>
