Description:
This hack uses AJAX to check if the user name is taken and also displays errors and reasons why the user messed up on the registration form. Look at attached example picture.
Installation Instructions:
(If you don't have the unregistered usergroup set to Can View Forum = YES then you will have to follow the normal steps then apply this fix: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=136)
1) Import the Product (make sure you have an original register template, or use the [manual edits])
2) Upload the images and javascript
3) Also Add these to your Additional CSS Definitions for your style:
When I try to use the feature in my site, Internet Explorer gives me 15 errors in all the values in the register.js with the explanation e.g. "email_2.value is null or not an object". I have the same errors for all the values in the js file. Any ideas?
I don't use IE... Nor will I, I use firefox and they show no errors. Sorry i just dont want to touch IE, its a big waste of time for me.
I am not sure if this is intended or not, but if you have "require unique email address" set to YES, and then try to register with an email address that's already in use, this hack doesn't spot that and lets you proceed.
Also it doesn't check for "banned" email addresses.
It still gets rejected in the "normal" way when you actually submit the registration, but I think it would be more consistent if it spotted it the same way it spots duplicate usernames.
I really love this prodect. However, I am faceing differect language error.
If I checked an existing name in english chars I will get whether it is available or not but if i inputed non english chars like "Arabic" I get some differect errors in the input field
the name get changed in the input field to the following code
Code:
<html>
yes the arabic name in the username field get changed to <html> in the same field. The inputed name will get replaced by <html>
what should I do??
can you fix this issue for me please?

Other than that....brilliant work!
I second this! Everything works great, but I would love it to check banned e-mails and e-mails already in use. We get users that register, forgetting they registered several months ago, come back register with a different username than used before but still have the same e-mail address. Would be great if this could check this up front before everything is submitted so they know they have already registered before filling out the rest of the registration page.
