Alright, here it comes.. The 3.5 version of my famous AJAX hack


This one is using the new Product Manager.
That means to you: All phrases, all settings, all plugins are added with one simple file import

Just one single click - isn't that great?

• complete Product
• phrases, settings, plugins added automatically
• on-click uninstall *

It took me some time to figure out how vB3.5 ticks but it's working now. This was my first try on the new Product Manager ever so there might be some errors but I installed it 10 times (because it is so easy ) and it worked. You can even uninstall it with one simple click


It works exactly like vB3 version, there are some minor tweaks to the code but those only affect performance
There's only one really new thing: If the username is not taken, the user will see a message (with a green background) telling him that he can register the desired username.


Sadly the templates must be changed manually but.. There won't be any fun without some handicraft

There's detailed instructions how to install this beauty within the package but let me explain some things first:

In the package you'll find 3 files:

• product-ajaxcheckuser.xml
• instructions.txt
• ajax_checkusername.js

The first one is the most important one. It contains all plugins, phrases and the queries to add the new setting. You can easily import that file with the new Product Manager in your AdminCP.

The rest is even easier: Copy the ajax_checkusername.js to your clientscript folder and then open instructions.txt for the template edits.


Iam short of time at the moment but I'll do my best to support this plugin (or product or..).. Just ask here in this thread. If you like to donate something (I got one for the first release of the script) send me a pm for my paypal address.


Anything more to say? Happy importing and _always_ do backups first!


Ah for those begging for a screenshot or demo.. As there has not much changend on the frontend please see this thread for more information: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=81531


btw. Iam going to get some sleep now.. It's 5 in the morning here

* this includes plugins, settings and phrases.. Files have to be removed manually and templates must be reverted manually.

Installed! Worked Beautifully on 3.5 GOLD right here with almost 10,000 users in the DB.

Except, I added a few twists to the messages and also added some images.

Try it with my username there: Tony(admin)

Make sure that you uploaded the .js file to the clientscript directory, and you may want to clear your cache of old cached files just in case.

It says RC1 only...so does that mean no gold?

Any update on this?

[TundraSoul]

It works for me as well, it should be a standard feature.

Very nice hack. I will use it.

But I have a suggestion for an improvement: If you define in the AdminCP forbidden usernames, they are not taken into account for your check. That means, the user e.g. enter as username "Administrator", the green bar appears "Everything o.k., username is not used yet", but when the registration is send, the vB-errormessage says: Username is already taken.

Maybe there is a way to look for forbidden usernames in your check too ?

[EDIT] I found out, that all other checks (username too short, too long, etc.) are not checked with your skript. Maybe you can have a look, if you can use exact the same checks, as the vB-standard ? [/EDIT]

Any update on JoergZ suggestion MrNase?

[coolgus]

Does it work with vb 3.52 ?

[eViL_sTiGmA]

Well, i think the font size of the messages ("registererror" and "registerok") i too small, i want to make it bigger, how can i do it???

Thank you

[JoergZ]

@kadafi_alive: Because there was no reaction, I did a workaround for my board. You can do the additional checks in the plugin ajax_checkusername


@coolgus: Yes it works on 3.5.2


@eViL_sTiGmA: At the end of the instructions you find the code for the CSS code you have to paste.

Change there

font-size: 70%;

to

font-size: 100%;

Then the text is bigger.
