Well I got the colors to match properly...

This would also be my preference.

Just want to add, seems to be working great. (and if the spammers sniff out the reg filename, I will just change it to something different).

On a note, I have pulled up the padding from the bottom of the box, is there a stylavar setting to tighten up the padding between the title and content bar?

(btw,..voted motm). :D

Not sure what you mean by content bar... The two padding stylevars are main (around the entire box) and title (around he box that holds the title of the form).

Anything else would need to be done by additional.css using the appropriate class name, you can find in the template or viewing the source code of the page.

I'm working on a confirmation screen for after you hit register. It will be an option in a future version, but for now its enabled in the demo on qapla.com while I work on it.

I may be away for a few days, will release an update after I get back.

I found it, it is a hardcoded br between divs in the template.

So I tried it, removed it, didnt like it, plus it interfered with the green/red popup above username, so I put it back.

No biggie.

BOP,... I have found this mod very effective in capturing easy registrations without the essay sized normal reg page. And yes, I have been monitoring spam usage, and attacks have (atm) stopped completely. I see many offshore error pages in whos online trying to register, even though I have had the oem reg page and mecha turned off for some time.

Still want to style it a bit more, But I LIKE!

Question: Is it possible to add the css additions I outlined above, into something more comfortable with the mod installer? IE- does it have to reside in additional.css, or can you implement it into the mod?

Thanks again.

Ya know, BOP?...

You ought to consider combining this mod and the rename mod for the reason posted here,...

I use both in configuration, and I likey!

@smirkley- Glad it is working well for you. Yes the integration with Rename Register.php was something I was considering exploring more. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I am seriously considering disabling normal registration and using RFR to reduce spam significantly.

As for styling with CSS if you prefer you can put custom CSS in the template: bop5_reallyfastreg.css

This is in the CSS Templates group.

The only thing is if I make any changes to that template in future versions you will need to manually update it. That is the reason additional.css exists so people don't need to worry about changes during upgrades (of mods or the software.)

Updated to version 1.4.0

Added a JavaScript confirmation message after the Register button is clicked. This message explains to the user why they need a valid email address and gives them an option to change it (or cancel it out) - I added this because it was clear some people thought they could give obviously fake emails and register. I wanted to let them know that wasn't going to work.

This option is enabled by default, it can be disabled from settings.

Excellent mod, I wish I discovered this earlier. Thanks for your great work!

...

I really like this mod and have installed it on 5 vb4 forums, also voted for motm. Is there one for VB3.8? I did some search and didn't find anything similar. Thanks!

Hi BPO5, Installed on my site. Working gr8

thanks.

Mr. BOP5, I have a request for you. Can you pls tell me how to remove/Hide the
IP Address: xx.2x.1x.06x
from the Registration details mail sent to the users? B'coz I want to add some users to the forum and I donwant to expose our IP address.

thanks

Crazyboy, it's in the phrase, find the phrase and edit it.

hurricane_sh, thanks for your reply. which file to edit php or xml?
thanks

No you dont edit a XML or php file, you edit the phrase in the ACP --> Languages & Phrases

Oh i am so confused here. OK let me check.

The phrases should be, bop5rfr_newuser and bop5rfr_welcome those are the two phrases that contain the IP

You could remove the following from the phrase:

ozzy47, thanks a lot. I got it. It's working fine. :up:

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

I may make a 3.x version but in the mean time you can try this, never used it before though- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=227905

Thanks for the link, but I don't like it. I need a "really" fast and simple one like yours, I even don't want to have any human verification. I have seen good results after installed your mod.

It would be great if you could make one for old VB3.8 which many big/active forums are using.

Maybe this one will work for you in the time being, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...quick+register

Thanks for the feedback... Will try and accommodate. :up:

Thanks, I have checked it out, the one OP recommended was based on this one, they are basically the same mod.

Like the update. The popup is smart.

Elininates mistake regs at the least.

Tnx.

Updated to version 1.5
-vBulletin 3.8 compatibility!
-Minor typo and code fixes

Wow, can't believe you actually did this and SO fast, thank you so much!

Installed on two vb3 forums (3.8.1 and 3.8.4), it didn't seem to work:

On homepage, after confirmation of the popup reminder, I was redirected to smiley list page (strange, it should have nothing to do the registration), but the browser URL was showing the fast registration URL.

I use vbseo on both forums, but the mod worked well on a vb4 forum with VBseo installed.

No user added, no error message in Apache log file.

Any ideas?

Can you post or PM me the URLs? Let me see if I can figure anything out... I tested it on 3.8.7 and 3.8.8 beta but it shouldn't make a difference.

I had actually designed it from the ground up figuring I may one day add VB 3.x so when I went back it really wasn't all that much work.

The main difference is VB3 doesn't have stylevars so any customization needs to be template edits.

3.8.1: url removed

The other one 3.8.4 worked exactly the same way.

Thanks!

Looks like you just didn't rename the file correctly-

When I go here- http://www.msofficeforums.com/fast-register.php I get a vbseo file not found message - basically the file doesn't exist. That is the file it is looking for in your case. I assume you changed it in settings.

If the file did exist it would forward me to yur forum index (that is what the page does if you try to browse to it manually.)

Yes, you are absolutely right, I'm so sorry! Now it's working perfectly!

It's cool, we all have our Blonde moments. :D

If spammers use this and a fake email, does it still create an account and use an ID?

Yes it does, but they will never get their password to login.

edit to add, and I have blocked the top three countries that produce spammer accounts in htaccess, and that has almost completely stopped all spammer attempts on my site. I dont cater to those countries anyways, and only 1 legit account was ever made in my 9+ year history from any of them.

BOP,..

Just a question as a suggestion for addition.

I have not had this abused. I can view all accounts made via member list sorted by reg date.

But I am wondering if an acp log option might be a good idea. Something that would provide a chronological log in acp for all attempts, good and bad. Just for security sake if one were to want to take notice of ip attempts in the event abuse was attempted.

Thanks again. Love this addition. Works well.

I'll see about logging... there really wouldn't be any failed attempts though, just people who used fake emails and never signed in... I am planning an add-on or feature that runs a report to display such users- I imagine that could be part of the log.

One of your great mods BirdOPrey5! Definitely it will boost new registrations. Thanks for your efforts. :up:
