That file contains the MD5 checksums of all files within vBulletin. It is used what you use the "Suspect File Versions" feature to check the integrity of all the files within the vBulletin directory.

So if I go ahead and change the name to registerxx.php the system will not work because of the fact the integrity of all the files within the vBulletin directory will have changed. Is that the case or can I change the name and it will not matter. I did change the name of the file physial so my link to it is registerxx.php in the /forums folder this is so that if someone knows that I am using vb that will not be able to get it. and i went through the files in that folder and changed all references to the file the new name - but when i can to the line in the includes - md5_sums_vbulletion.php following lines:

$md5_sums = array(
'/' => array(
'register.php' => 'e789eb3131e27e2cdf90e9c9687f9f86',
),

I did not know if changing this line the filename and not the check sum which i could never figure out what it should be any how -

'registerxx.php' => 'e789eb3131e27e2cdf90e9c9687f9f86',

The question is this a safe thing to do or should i just leave it a alone and just change all references except this one?

PS the register.php to registerxx.php is not the actaul name i used and did not want to post the actual changed name on the this site for security reasons.

All it means is that if you do Suspect File Version, registerxx will show up as not a recognized file. That's all. Don't worry about that.

You shouldn't need to touch any of the md5_sums_*.php files, they do not affect any functionality apart from the "Suspect File Versions" feature - which not many people use.

Looking at this part of the script what is haopening here below and what should or will happen if I change this the case to registerxx.php unstaed?

includes - functions_online.php - 1390

switch($filename)
{
case 'register.php':
if ($values['do'] == 'requestemail' OR $values['do'] == 'emailcode')
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'requestemail';
}
else if ($values['a'] == 'ver' OR $values['do'] == 'activate' OR $values['a'] == 'act')
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'activate';
}

else
{
$userinfo['activity'] = 'register';
}
break;
default:

$userinfo['activity'] = 'unknown';
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('online_location_process ')) ? eval($hook) : false;
}
return $userinfo;

and this line above $userinfo['activity'] = 'register';
what is happen here should this get changed to registerxx

You may change that if you'd like. All those lines do is define what is listed as a users location on the online.php page.

the email sent to the user part of the email i want to change is below

I would like to stop the allowing of a email address from the domain @mail.ru
which will stop at least that type of spam - i hope that is.

I am using version 3.6.8. - so what can I do in this version - please give me the exact steps to do this.

THANKS

I think the first is a phrase. Do a search in phrases for some of that email and see what comes up.

The second is under vboptions > user banning options > banned email addresses.

I want to create a question and field that must be filled out correctly for the registration process to happen. I want this field to be before the image verifation part and have to have this a required field. My question is what do i need to do for this to happen what files do I need to modify to put this field and question in.

If someone could help guide me and explain what has to happen that would be really helpful in my understand of this process and quick i hope modifation.

THANKS

You may find this of interest - Add an extra question to the registration to prevent bot registrations
I think there may be mods also, but I'm not sure.
