True, but the built-in system is a bit clunky to use if you're inputting a large number of questions. We use a rotation of 50 on ours (alongside captcha), and found this mod much easier and quicker to develop that bank of questions.

But YMMV and all that.

Hello,

I like the plugin but have need for custom fields in the approval area. I've created 2 User Profile Fields and need to have that data displayed there.

Can you point me in the right direction of what to edit to make this happen?

[Palmcone]

Possible Glitch?

I have given a user the primary group of Super Mod and added the Administrator as a secondary group as suggested earlier in this thread. This has given the person access to the Advanced Registration Management....However...

Under "Non-Activated Users", when you click the user name it takes you to the user profile.

Under "Moderated Users", when you click the user name it takes you to the following message:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1.Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2.If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Until I can find a way to customize the fields as I asked in my post above, I can find the custom fields in the profiles. As an Admin, both user names links work for me. However, not for the Super Mod.

Excellent mod, but I have one problem: if I put the 'Registered Users' usergroup ID in the list of usergroups not able to send invites, the 'Invite friends' link disappears for ALL usergroups. It seems this mod looks at primary usergroups only?

if I update to the last version, will I lose anything?

[Valter]

No, regular upgrade process will not delete any data.

I see this problem already has been pointed out, but no answer to it. If I use the Setup for the random Question feature, it sends me to a page where the smilies are listed.

Is there a fix for this? Thanks for a quick response.

Anybody!?! Got any ideas. All of the links on Options>Vsa-Advanced Registration in the Admin Control Panel go to a list of smilies. There is no way to set this up if you want to use the Random Question feature. Or view the log. Or view the list of deleted users.

This seems like it would be a good add-on, but I'm wondering if it is supported.

[Videx]

The smilies page just means "An unknown error occurred.". There is no more information available. Try disabling all your other add-ons. If that works re-enable them one by one to find the culprit. Then check that thread for a fix or pick one mod or the other.

[Winter Sonata]

Just to confirm, it works on 4.2 last version ....

All valter plugins are very worth to get, I appreciate his works
