Restricting Forum Registration

Is it possible to restrict who may join your forum based on their email address extension? I am trying to limit access to only those people who belong to a specific insitution.
Thanks

It is possible. I thought I saw a mod for it here but I cannot seem to find it atm. You could make a plugin to block certain extensions/domains.

This has not been tested, but something like:

Hook location: register_addmember_process
PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $emailcheck = @explode('@', $vbulletin->GPC['email']);

    $emailcheck = $emailcheck[1];



    if (strpos($emailcheck, 'domain.edu') === false)

    {

        $userdata->error('invalidemail');

    }

If we have more than one institution that we want to restict the forum to then I assume we would have to include the list of institution's email extensions in the conditional statement. Is that correct?
