Forum Home Enhancements - Really Fast Registration by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Live Demo: http://www.totallycommercials.com/

The purpose of this mod is to get users registered as quickly as possible. Users just enter a username, a valid email address, check a box agreeing to the rules (optional), and hit register, and they are sent an email with a randomly generated password.

The fact they get the password by email confirms they entered a valid email address (if they ever log in, you know it is legit.)



Full Feature List

• Displays on top of Forum Home (forum.php)
• Ability to customize script name to reduce chances of Spam
• Uses built in VB javascript to verify valid username in real time
• Uses 3rd party javascript to detect user's timezone and set it during registration
• Fully Phrased for easy customization or translation
• Full use of Stylevars to control colors/layout options
• Agree to Forum Rules checked by default option
• Show randomly generated password after registration option (this could lead to users with invalid emails however, not recommended)
• Random passwords generated vary in length
• Choose default usergroup for new registrations
• Register button not active until valid looking username/email entered into form
• Apply specific referrer to all users who register via this mod (good for tracking purposes)
• Compatible with my Rename Regiter.php Mod
• In unlikely event of error on registration user returned to regular registration script.
• Option to hide rules completely
• Option to show RFR Form to Admins at all times
• Option to put RFR Form on any/all templates manually (RFR Anywhere)
• Option to show JavaScript confirmation that explains why a valid email is needed and gives user option to update their email address.
• Compatible with VB 3.8.x
• Support for Human Verification
• Added option allowing user to hide the form for a set number of days
• NEW - Added option to enable the register_addmember_complete hook to increase compatibility with other registration mods
• NEW - (In Beta) - Added option to use RFR form in "IFRAME" mode for non-VB pages.

I've used this mod for a month or so on my site, I have not had any spammers use it, probably too new for them to take notice.

The mod uses its own email phrases for new registrations so be sure to customize it if you want to.

Some important phrases...

Email Body Text Phrases
bop5rfr_newuser - Email sent to email addresses set to be notified of new users
bop5rfr_welcome - Email sent to new users (contains their password and other info)

Error Message Phrases
bop5rfr_reg_complete - Message shown upon completed Registration
bop5rfr_error_missing_values - Message shown if missing values (only possible if javascript disabled)

Front-End Redirect Messages
bop5rfr_problemredirect - Message shown if error and being redirected to full registration form (unlikely to happen)

GLOBAL Phrases
bop5_rfr_agree_to_rules - Agree to rules text
bop5_rfr_really_fast_reg_join_now - Text in title
bop5rfr_timezone_detect - [Timezone Detetion]
bop5rfr_confirm1 & bop5rfr_confirm2 - JavaScript Confirmation before submitting form



The "External Content" is an option to load the time zone detect javascript remotely, you can load it locally if you prefer.

This mod is compatible with vBulletin 3.8.x and vBulletin 4.x.x

Members are reporting that VB's Password reset system is very hard to follow and reset password.
Can BOP5 consider making an alternate password resetting mod as used a part of this Really Fast Registration Mod.
This new Mod can ask the user to fill one of his stored data like date of birth as proof to show the password on screen.
Thanks in advance.

I think that defeats the purpose of this mod. By emailing the password, it verifies that they are indeed the person with access to that email (verifying the email address). It eliminates all the back and forth with confirming an email when you register.

What you might consider doing is editing the password email that is sent and have a clear link to the settings page where they can change their password.

To change your button add this line to your additional css template (substitute your favorite color for the instead of #000):

#bop5rfrnext {background:#000}

#bop5rfrnext {background:#0202B1}
#bop5rfrnext {color:#FFEB87}
#bop5rfrnext {font-weight:bold;}

I was required to change all the above to get it perfect for my custom style.
Marked as Excellent!
Thanks a lot.

I'm using this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236069 for my forum rules.

For some reason, the RFR mod isn't registering the accepted rules when people use it to register.

Is there anyway to configure RFR to work with the other rules mod?

Honestly not familiar with how that rule mod works... Looked through the source code and not seeing any easy way to integrate them.

[jimsflies]

No problem. I ended up disabling the rules from the RFR mod and added some verbage about needing to accept the rules prior to posting (which it redirects them to do anyways) in the email they get with their password. (Not that anyone reads any of it anyways.)

So now its an even faster RFR with no rules.

This looks awesome. I'd love to see this with the ability to add a password field as well so they don't have to remember their random password or go through the trouble of changing it. As is, our members use the "forgot password" function a ton and I'm sure with this, it'd go through the roof.

[BirdOPrey5]

Hello Jennifer- The lack of a password field is the main point of this fast registration. I would encourage people who used it to change their password to something custom after registering - that would be good practice anyway - I do not intend to add a password field, sorry.

users are not recieving their passwords.. any idea what could be blocking these emails from being sent? i changed it from php_mail() to smtp still no luck.
