I think we can handle a changed name better with a check on submission. If this don't match that, name was changed, lookup record with old name not new name.
I'm thinking about this before I pull the trigger on any code. |
Name changes are dealt with now. And there is one more, unique to your site, hidden field added to the Registration form.
Great ideas folks! Ya'll can view the source code for the form at the demo site listed above in the mod description. Let me read it over and see if I'm happy. Upgrade will be to add one edit to the register template and install the product. |
Just curious, how did you do the name change? Sounds like you canceled the hash idea.
|
A direct link to the source code would be better as there is no way I can figure out where it is on the site.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant view the HTML form code. The Code is not posted except in the release file here and that is the old code.
Yeah, the hash was getting over complicated. We deal with the name change by using a second hidden field and track it with a unique name you set. Seems to be working and handling errors properly on my site. I had installed a bug and messed things up for a while. But we stomped it. Anyway, if you view the two forms, you'll see where we grab the pre-name on forum rules and then place it in a hidden on the reg form. That allows for tracking the record and the name changing. The Pre-reg name field on rules is settable, the hidden field name that saves it on the reg form is settable, and we have the settable hiddens on each form. Lot's of confusion. I confused myself even coding it. |
Shouldn't the registration permissions implemented in vb script stop the bots already? Or is this a bot detector for possible bot attempts to register?

Well, change is hard. Nothing changes what so ever on the registration page. People just have to type a name on the rules page now as well as check a box.
I set out to change it on purpose. Instead of collecting the name and using that, we could GEN and Pass some hash off I guess. But as i said, my purpose was to make things different. The more I type, the more I like passing the HASH. I didn't want to pass it. But that is more random and gives us control better. Ok, you win. That's a better Idea. That changes things a lot for us and not for the user at all. Easy turnover too. |
You DO suck up rather well. ;)
But I think no changes for the user throws them off to what is really happening behind the scenes, which is what we want to do, right? |
