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.

installed! instructions say to edit 'registration' template, 'register' is the correct template to edit.

also, should

div#checkusername {
padding: 5px 7px;

be

div.checkusername {
padding: 5px 7px;

?

[MrNase]

No, I created a new div and it's ID (#) is checkusername. By using div.checkusername you have a div with the class 'checkusername'.

The typo will be fixed soon.

thanks alot mate!"installed"

nice one... hey, could you add the preg_match check already built in vb 3.6.1? Also, what about adding the restricted words (moderator, etc.) thats also in the options settings.

This way, it can check for "taken" names as well as "illegal" words and characters and reply with "this username is unavailable or cannot be used".

Hmmm..... I don't have a "registration" template. I have a register template but there is a whole lot more code than the three lines.

I am probably missing something and need to direction to find my way.

I did install the plugin and the clientscript file.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Chris: Good idea, I'll have to take a closer look at it.


YLP1: Yeah, it's the 'register' template.. The word 'registration' is a typo by me as Protoman already pointed out in post #21.
You can set up an admin account for me that allows template edits and I'll install it for you if you have problems with the instructions.
Otherwise you should specify at what step you are so that I can explain it further.

thanks,
Dominik

Great Hack and a nice idea

Thought it was a java script but it turns out that you can use ajax as well for vbulletin
