Quick Registration Hack · **Released**: 03-30-2003

Well, here's my first, not-too-great hack. I might add stuff to it or something (tell me what i should add), but this is what i have so far.

Basically, when you register, it gives you the choice of either Registering or "quick registering". The Quick register thing has only the required fields, while the other register has all the extra fields. It's pretty pointless, but i've heard from some people that they really hate putting in all that stuff. So, i'll go ahead and post that, here are the directions:

<// - QUICK REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS - \\>
Files to Edit: 0
Files to Upload: 1
Templates to Edit: 1
Templates to Add: 1

o---||STEP 1||---o
Open up the attached zip file and upload the file named "quickreg.php" to your vbulletin root directory, NOT THE PORTAL DIRECTORY.
o---||STEP 2||---o
Go to your administration panel, click on templates, the style set you want it on, then do "add custom template."
//--NEW TEMPLATE SPECIFICATIONS--\\
Template Name: quickreg
Template Set: Set: The one you are on
Template:

thanx for the hack
easy to install

The_Cyberdemon · #13 04-01-2003, 09:39 PM

Wow, thank you

Skyrender · #14 04-01-2003, 10:57 PM

Thanks but I've already got firefly's quick registeration hack. You should put this in a text file.

matthepepe · #15 04-02-2003, 12:20 PM

read above there is a text file

Classy · #16 04-03-2003, 04:30 PM

Thank you ... clicked install

Works like a charm

FleaBag · #17 04-03-2003, 07:27 PM

I think he meant a text file instead of the instructions on this page...

+Fares+ · #18 04-05-2003, 09:42 AM

Thank you ... like it

dstruct2k · #19 04-10-2003, 08:36 PM

I really don't think the instructions should be out there like that.... "Illegal" vB users could get it that way. Trust me, they do exist. I was one once... I decided that I loved vB and so I paid for it. It really saves the hassle of getting Jelsoft mad at you!

Oh, and nice hack, I'd be willing to take a crack at making it more "vB3-like" though, with the check-boxes.... I'll see if I can or can't do this and reply once I've tried.

dotagious · #20 04-23-2003, 02:06 AM

I want to install this hack BUT:

I want to make this the ONLY registration method. In other words, I want to remove the standard option and replace it with this version. However, when I try to remove the existing code and replace it with your code (instead of adding it below the existing code), it continues to forward the user to the full registration form. How can I make your quick registration form the only form to be used?

WEForums · #21 04-23-2003, 02:19 AM

Quick registration can be frustrating because members who sign up via this method have all their options off, which causes a lot of confusion by them and a lot of asking questions.

Is there a way to set yes to certain options via this registration method? It'd be nice if there is.
