Random Password Instead of Activation Code

As per request, this is verstion 2.0 of the Random Password hack.

I am starting a new thread for this, because users of vB 2.0.3 and down should use version 1.0 of this hack, whereas users if v.2.2.0 and up should use this version.

[hr]

Purpose: When a new user regsiters, he is e-mailed a password generated randomly. He will not be able to log in until he receives this e-mail and uses that password. (the same happens if an existing user changes his e-mail address).

After installing this hack, you will have three options essentially:

1) Don't verify the e-mail is valid.
In this case the user selects his own password and nothing is sent to him.

2) Verify the e-mail is valid by sending an activation code
This is how vBulletin works now: a user selects his own password during registration, and the BB Mailer sends him an activation code / link that he needs to use before he's able to post

3) Verify the e-mail is valid by sending a random password
In this case the user DOES NOT select a password but instead he receives a randomly generated password by e-mail. He will not be able to log in / post until he receives and uses this password.

Installation: download the attached installer and run it in your admin directory. All changes that need to be made manually to scripts and/or templates are listed there.

[high]Important: If you previously installed this hack, select the "upgrade" option and not the "new install"[/high]

Cheers,

Bira

madhouse - if you select in Options, in Admin CP, to "verify e-mail" (yes) and "send random password instead of activation code" (yes) -- then you are NOT supposed to be able to enter a password: one will be mailed to you.

Ok i got that much but even when i select the send user random password ...i created a temp account and its saying wrong password and this is the password the database generated...
Also when i elect to go to the email activation code...there is no longer a password box there for them to create a password...
So what gives there?
By the way thanks for the fast response!!

madhouse, I can only presume that you missed something in the installation. If you send me all the relevant files (member.php, register.php and admin/functions.php) I'll take a look and see if anything is missing there. My e-mail is goren@atlasf1.com

Files sent .......THanks

[bira]

ok madhouse, I looked at your files and found your error

Open register.php and find (lines 42-48 in your script) :

    // Send Random Password Instead of Activation Code (v2.0)
      if ($randpassword=="1") {
         eval("\$register_passwordbit = \"".gettemplate('register_nopassword')."\";");
      } else {
         eval("\$register_passwordbit = \"".gettemplate('register_yespassword')."\";");
      }    
// Send Random Password Instead of Activation Code (v2.0)

You placed this code in the WRONG place. Cut it out of the script and paste it BEFORE:

      if ($who=="adult") {
        eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
      } else {
        eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
      }

(on line 199 in your script after cutting the above code).

So the end result will be:

PHP Code:

// Send Random Password Instead of Activation Code (v2.0)
      if ($randpassword=="1") {
         eval("\$register_passwordbit = \"".gettemplate('register_nopassword')."\";");
      } else {
         eval("\$register_passwordbit = \"".gettemplate('register_yespassword')."\";");
      }    
// Send Random Password Instead of Activation Code (v2.0)

      if ($who=="adult") {
        eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
      } else {
        eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
      } 


This will fix your problem
