Registration form AJAX enhancements

What does it do?

Checks for username validity as you type it in registration form
Checks for email validity as you type it in registration form
Checks for password validity as you type it in registration form
Suggests good passwords
Shows strength of your password as you type it in registration form

Points of interest:

No template or code changes. All is done using VBulletin Product API.
Only several custom phrase is used. All others are taken from VBulletin. So, product localization is VERY easy.
All validity checks are implemented using VBulletin API

How to install?

Unpack archive into forum root
Install *.xml file via Admin Control Panel (Product management)

What is NOT done:

No checks implemented for entering captchas as it may seriously lower forum anti-spam security

How to update to latest version?
Overwrite all files by new ones from latest zip and reimport product XML file via Admin Control Panel with "Allow Overwrite" option checked.

Version history:

Code:



1.1.7 (24-07-08)Situation where password = login is now classified as error. New string added for this case (localizers, note).




1.1.6 (22-07-08)Minified version of ajaxreg.js included in the pack. 1Kb savings :)




1.1.5 (01-07-08)Fix for checking usernames, containing space character (only fractalizer_ajaxreg_ajax.php file is changed since 1.1.4)




1.1.4 (17-06-08)Small fix to a bug with username checking on some forums.




1.1.3 (16-06-08)A fix provided to prevent some browsers from refreshing page after clicking on Password Suggestor button




1.1.2 (16-06-08)Another attempt to fix checking usernames containing non-latin chars. Should work this time ;)


Icons rearranged to prevent problems with custom styles




1.1.1 (11-06-08)Template issue fixed (password suggestor is now correctly shown) (skariko)




1.1 (11-06-08)New feature - password suggestor. New phrases were added for it also to product XML.


New images for password strength added to distro for easy customization.


Functionality of password strength calculation fixed (Quantnet.org, Arbit3r)


non-latin characters problem hopefully fixed (requires iconv PHP extension, autodetected). (ecihanuysal)


Border in IE is now correctly cleared (Jeordie015)


1.0.1 (10-06-08)Text sanitizing added (AlexanderT).


Password strength images are now shown everywhere (HTML was broken) (TheInsaneManiac, uantnet.org, Lionel)


jQuery is now about 45% less in size (Milad)

*Installed* - Thanks for this!

amazing thank you so much mate love this :D

where do I put fractalizer_ajaxreg.php ?

Into forum root. Near search.php, newthread.php etc.

Awesome thanks, great hack

what .xml? :S

product-fractalizer_ajaxreg.xml is not needed in forum root ;) It should be installed via Admin CP

ah, that's obvious mate ... :)

I'm not getting the password strength coming up visually (the stars).
I just upgraded to 3.7.1 (latest patch also).

Any tips on this? Thanks.

They should come when any of password controls looses focus. Press Tab or click somewhere outside that control. My forum is running 3.7.1 just fine.
Please ensure this folder: \images\rating\ is not empty on your forum installation. You must have rating_0.gif, rating_1.gif, rating_2.gif, rating_3.gif, rating_4.gif, rating_5.gif files there.

Also you may be testing too short password (with zero strength :) ).

I've got the same problem with the stars images ;) Using custom skin

Nice mod, waiting for this since Ajax Reg disappeared

Nice - Thx for this nice hack!

Nice hack. I only had a quick glance at the code. One note: It's recommended that you sanitize the $_POST variables before using them (following vB's guidelines):

$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
'field' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'value' => TYPE_NOHTML,
'value2' => TYPE_NOHTML,
));

And then use the appropriate sanitized variables (e.g. $vbulletin->GPC['field']).

If you are using custom skin, just replace /images/rating filenames in ajaxreg.js with the images you like.

2Skavenger:
Please execute REPAIR TABLE vb_post on your MySQL server. It is not caused by my mod. Just MySQL crashed on your server on some reason.

2AlexanderT:
Thank you for suggestion. I will do as you say.

Thanks

Likewise , I tried this edit to give the correct path but the images do not show.

Before installation i n gotta ask some question... i m already using a similar hack,
i think its this one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144869

or here is the live demo for my hack: www.tafreehmela.com/register.php

so i want to know, if u want your hack, do i need to upgrade or uninstall my current one and install urs...

Thanks

FractalizeR, the rating images show up only in FireFox, but not in internet explorer. That may be why others do not see the ratings.

Same issue here. Custom Skin, no stars. Good looking mod tho.

installed the mod, but i am using a turkish character system on my vB. so some letters became a problem at the registration. when i typed an existing user name, here your hack couldnt find any error about it. i tried it with the letter "ç".

some possible related letters(special characters) are: Ç,Ş,İ,Ü,Ğ,Ö,ü,ş,ç,ö,ğ,ı

so can we solve it?

Sorry, I posted in the wrong thread xD. I don't even use this mod =P

Can you include some a compressed version of the jquery file?

instead of showing the password strength images, I have this text
Password quality: <img src="images/rating/rating_2.gif />

try putting the missing quote <img src="images/rating/rating_2.gif" />

The same problem is with Slovenian characters (??Č??č).

Hopefully the author will post a small fix to the rating...

great ,,,, installed

1.0.1 is out. Reported bugs fixed.

I actually have my registration hacked so that it requires new members to match(confirm) their user name with a custom profile field, is there a way to have this hack do the ajax to make sure the two inputs match?
