Requiring A Password to Register

[rb2k1]

Hello All,

I have an idea although im not sure how to do it..

I would like to have a field on the register page that asks for the registration password if the password is correct then when they submit the form it gets processed. If the password is incorrect it gives an error message that can be specified by a phrase.

Can someone do this ? i think its a good hack!

this can be done in two different ways:
1- duplicate the COPPA process to have a password verification page.
2- have a new field in the registration page, and act to verify it like everything else in a single page process.

easy. (3 minutes hack!)

Hmm im a bit confused as to how i can set what password to use?

for example: add a custom profile field in your admincp. make it shown on registration but not editable afterwords (as it will be shown in the profile otherwise)
Use the regex field to check the content of the password. I'm not such a Regex buff, but I'm sure someone can help you, or check out the manual on php.net

Ok i have added the custom profile and set it to show upon registration.

1. Now i need to figure out how to have it check the password with something i can set in the database.

2. I would like to be able to set the password for registration in the AdminCp - Vbulletin Options - User Registration Options.

Thanks Guys!

Yeah I also would like this mod, or to figure out how to do it.

Theoretically it should be possible this way:

Add a new custom field called password to register
make it required but not viewable
and then add the password you want to have into the regex box.
as long as your password doesn't have special chars which could be used for special regular expressions that should do the trick.

(just in theorie, i did not test it)

How do I get a custom field to only show up on the registration page?

if you make it required it will show up automatically
