Quick Registration Form on a non-vB page

Requested Here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...954#post394954

What does this hack do?

It allows people to register at your website (to your vBulletin board) on a non-vBulletin page
It provides a much quick method of registration, compared to the usual way
only Guests can see this registration form. If the user is already registered, then he/she will see a message instead, such as Welcome back Gary!

Bugs
Found a bug? Please reply back and let me know!

Instructions
Be sure to place the attached code wherever you want the quick registration form to show up.

Enjoy!

Hmm...

Nice idea, but I'm not too keen on this:

PHP Code:


		
			
mysql_query(

idea...

IMO:

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query(

is better;)

and:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($redirect=="yes") {

should be

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($_GET['redirect']=="yes") {

:)

It seems to work fine Gary! I tested it.
Very useful hack.

For

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query();

, I'd either have to define the class and create the object for it, or include /forum/global.php

The way I've done it is good enough, in my opinion.

Just curious. Is it possible to do this without it being on the same domain? I know you can do logins this way so I was curious if it's possible to do this as well.

Yes, it is. Some minor modifications would have to be made to the file, though. For example, the config.php variables would not be accessible, so you would have to add those manually.

To be clear, PHP files would be necessary for this hack to work? Or could it be done via HTML only? The website uses .shtml extensions is why I ask, and there isn't any PHP files on it. Don't really want to add any. ;)

Gary King

06-02-2003 11:29 PM

The PHP file that processes the registration could be located somewhere else, just as long as the HTML file has access to it.

WEForums

06-02-2003 11:36 PM

Could you give me an example? Sorry to bug you but I don't exactly have the greatest of knowledge of this stuff, and it seems you know a LOT about this. (Been viewing a lot of your posts/threads.) ;)

Gary King

06-02-2003 11:41 PM

Maybe the PHP file is accessible via FTP, or on the same server.

P.S.
Why not simply place the PHP file that processes the script, in the same directory as the HTML file, if you don't want to use a PHP file for the quick registration page?

I am sure they're on the same server but just a separate domain. (I do not 'own' the site, I just run the forums.)

Wouldn't you still have to click onto another page? I simply would like the quick registration to be on the page rather than it having its very own page. You know, having the form on the HTML page?

The only reason for this is the site receives about 15,000-25,000 unqiue hits per day. The forums have 22,000-some odd members, but we're really looking to expand even more.

Gary King

06-02-2003 11:57 PM

Yes, you can have the form on the HTML page. So, you do not wish to have the form on a .PHP page? That is not at all possible? (May I ask why not?)

You can simply have the PHP file process the actual registration, while the HTML only "tells" the PHP page to register the user.

WEForums

06-03-2003 12:04 AM

So you could use HTML to "call" for the script's form, correct? And the script could be on a separate domain as well, right?

If so, would you find giving an example of the HTML? I have no experience working with forms... : (

Gary King

06-03-2003 12:21 AM

As long as the PHP script is accessible by the HTML file.

Example that you could use:

HTML file

PHP Code:


		
			
<form action='quickreg.php' method='post'>

Username: <input type='text' name='username'>

<br>Password: <input type='password' name='password'>

<br>Email: <input type='text' name='email'>

<br><input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' accesskey='s'> 

<input type='reset' name='reset' value='Reset' accesskey='r'>

</form>

PHP file (name it quickreg.php, otherwise you must change the action='' in the HTML file to whatever this file is called)

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// VARIABLES

// $config = relative path to your vBulletin's /admin/config.php (must be on same server)

// $groupid = user group ID for people who register using this form

// $redirect = leave it as "yes" if you want to redirect the user to the vBulletin after he/she registers

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



// board information

$config="forum/admin/config.php";

$config=strtolower($config);

require($config);



$connect=mysql_connect($servername,$dbusername,$dbpassword);

mysql_select_db($dbname);



if ($submit) {

    $unique=mysql_query("SELECT username FROM user WHERE username='$username'");

        $user=mysql_query("INSERT INTO user (usergroupid, username, password, email, joindate, 

        lastvisit, lastactivity) VALUES ('".$groupid."', '".htmlspecialchars(addslashes($username)).

        "', '".addslashes(md5($password))."', 

        '".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."', '".time()."', '".time()."', '".time()."')",$connect);

        $userid=mysql_insert_id();

        $userfields=mysql_query("INSERT INTO userfield (userid) VALUES ($userid)");

        if (($user==TRUE) and ($userid==TRUE) and ($userfields==TRUE)) {

            header("Location: index.html");

        }

        if ($redirect=="yes") {

            $board=str_replace("admin/config.php","index.php",$config);

            print "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='0;URL=".$board."'>";

        }

    mysql_close($connect);

    }

}



?>

Try that, tell me if it works. I simply modified some things from the original code.

<a href="http://www.weforums.com/quickreg3.php" target="_blank">http://www.weforums.com/quickreg3.php</a> is blank because it doesn't output anything, it only processes the registration.

And no problem, glad you got it working. Also, please click on the Install button if you are keeping this hack, thanks!

Any idea how to set the new user to require email confirmation, and also set them to be put in the moderated group once they validate the email address?

You must place the correct path for $config - you have an incorrect path.

Its a decent hack.
How about the cookie though, so when they go the forum page they don't have to login?

Thanks, DJ

Beauty hack! I changed the redirection to go to a webpage that will link to a credit card processing thing, to enable registration with payment.

Great hack. Many thanks!

This one has great potential for my site. One thing that I've been trying to figure out is how to have my form populate a custom userfield on Submit in addition to the basic registration.

Could someone please give me some direction on the code for the proper insert to add data to for example my field6 custom field? Ideally, I would add a radio check box on the form for different divisions of a company, so when a user enters their name, pass, and e-mail, they would also pick a division which would add the info to the custom field.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is a nice addition very simple, but it should atleast try to prevent automated registrations, or check to see if the user already has an account... i can goto this page if im registered and just keep registering new names.. need to prevent AUTOMATED registrations and the loss of registration checks. Can this be implemented?

Gary King

12-17-2003 11:20 AM

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I've fixed it so that only Guests can see this registration form now, instead of everyone. If the user is already registered, then he/she will see a message instead, such as Welcome back Gary! :)

12-19-2003 08:04 PM

so does the form have to be placed on a php page in order for it to only show up to gets, and the welcome text show up to members???

i have tested it on my index.html and the form shows up to everyone. the form iteself works great, i just don't want it showing up to everyone.

Gary King

Yeah, it will only work on a PHP page because it uses PHP functions.
