Enable "Only invited users can register" in product options.

For navbar link, try to globalize/insert: $cybareg_navbarlink

Is there a possibility to let us choose if invited Users allways habe to insert a Invitation ID even normal Registrations are not disabled? Would be fine in another Update.

Hmm, it's like logging-in to site without proper password. You must be blocked until proper pass is typed. If you are allowed to put anything as password then it's completely unneded. If they can get in without proper Invitation Code, most of typed codes will be "fhgdhfghd" - completely useless data in database, and just one more irritating field in registration form.

For some reason, I have new users attempt to register but for whatever reason, every time the answer the 'random question' it tells them the answer is incorrect... i tried it myself with the same result.

After further testing, it appears that it is case sensitive. Anyway to remove this so it accepts the answer regardless of whether they use caps or lower case?

It IS case sensitive. This will be changed in next version.

Any Idea why some Mailadresses are not working?

Example - AdC_Toledo@Toledo.de (This is just a fictive Example i changed only the Letters not the format!!!)

Quick question Cyb...

I believe this was ask previously so I apologize... but do you think there will be a way in a later update you may release that will allow specific user groups to use the "Invite Friend" option?

My reason for asking is because an "Unregistered" person visiting the site can just send invites to; for example "Frick & Frat". Neither Frick nor Frat will have ANY idea on who sent them the invitation because it lists the sender as "Unregistered". I would prefer to have only my current registered members be allowed to send invites to other people.

Or...

Is there a way to simple hide the "Invite" link (or button if using a different style template), from people that are not registered to the site. Seems simple enough, I think since a person who is not registered will see the "Register" link whereas a person who signs in does not. Is there a way to use the same concept so to speak with the "Invite" option?

[Alfa1]

I would love a contacts inviter with this. (msn, yahoo, outlook, etc)

Any chance on this?

Excellent mod!!

Would like to see where you can add the persons name that you wish to invite. Makes it a little more personal
