Miscellaneous Hacks - 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.

Same for ISO-8859-1... it does not work at all no matter what kind of encoding you are using.
