End-User Options - Ajax Check Username

Due to popular demand I decided to put some work into it to make it fully 3.6.1 compliant.

This one uses the phrase system so you can easily translate it without going through the Js-file.
This one uses the vBulletin Ajax Handler, no more custom and buggy solution for connection to the server.
This one uses vB-functions to create the XML file needed for the Ajax magic.

Generally said: This one is the old Add-on taken one step further.

I am a bit handicapped at the moment when it comes to typing but the Add-On is working fine on my forums and so I decided to release it.


Screenshots are attached, for a live demo visit this page: http://www.pagodentreff.de/diskussio...hp?do=register
(PLEASE don't register just for fun! )

What else do I need to say? Well.. make a backup before you start installing this Addon-On. I say it's safe but don't trust the German guy.

Have fun and click install.



Attention:
In order to get this Add-on working you must allow guest access to the file 'misc.php'. That file does the username check and it is important that guests can access that file.

can u make it email match thanks so much. looking for ur new release mod thanks

[MrNase]

I will once I have time to.

+1, would also love the in-use email check.

for the password, you could create a JS that would rate it from 'weak' to 'strong' or something like that

[MrNase]

Because you asked for it: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=127028
It is the same as this one but it checks if the desired email address is already in use.

Seems to have installed, edited the tmeplates, but tested it on the Register page and doesn't appear to be working...tried to register a name that is taken but got no message.

*Reserving install*

Did you upload the new file to your server?

Send me a PM with the url and I'll look into it.

Yep...followed instructions to a T.

PM coming your way...

[MrNase]

Did you make sure it is enabled via vBulletin Settings?

[Gripemaster]

Pretty sure I did, in User Registration Options.

[MrNase]

I had a look into it, see your PM.

I think I've spotted the error. You must allow guest access to misc.php because that is the file which checks the username availability. As a guest I got an error message trying to open misc.php?do=checkusername&username=admin (admin is the username to be checked) and therefore the Ajax function can't work properly.
Allow guest access to misc.php and it will run fine.
