Thank you so much!

This fixed my template error issues. Now lets see if my 2 other things (Usergroup ID and EMail registration per new members can be add it).

For now, I'll test this and hopefully it will work just fine!

Thanks again everyone (specially Ryan and Wolfstream) for helping me out with this!

Fix for users not being put in th specified user group.

Open the *** Initialize app *** plugin under the vB Nexus product. It is listed at the top of the product for me.
Find the following line

$newusergroupid = ($vbulletin->options['vbnexusconfig_defaultusergroup']?$vbulletin->options['vbnexusconfig_defaultusergroup']:2);

Replace with this

$newusergroupid = ($vbulletin->options['vbnexusconfig_facebook_defaultusergroup']?$vbulletin->options['vbnexusconfig_facebook_defaultusergroup']:2);

The plugin is referencing variable that does not exist. The code change uses the correct variable for the optional user group.


As to the email question, none of these services are going to allow you to automatically pull the email address during a remote session. Your best bet would be to alter the vbnexus_choose_username template to include a mandatory email field. One of the plugins would have to be changed as well, not sure off the top of my head right now. This would prevent anybody from registering without entering a email address.

I think this should be mandatory.

ibautocommunity,

Can I talk to you in private because I have a few questions that I can't ask in public here. If so, floris [at] vbulletin [dot] com (should still work) me your Skype or MSN/AIM details - no rush. I think some of the problems I could present might also help developer this product into something more unique than others .. and I rather use this and see this become stable than some paid addon from third party site.

All the best,
Floris

Why am I not surprised that once again, IB ignores their audience and product. Thanks for the update Calash, though you really shouldn't have to be picking up after IB's laziness

[Calash]

Not sure if it is laziness or something else. He is associated with IB and there may be something else going on. Perhaps some toes got stepped on or some SOP violated by this release. It could even be that priorities shifted and the resources are not dedicated to VB4.0

In any case I am happy to put my coding ability, be it somewhat limited, to use in helping the community. I really do like this mod and once you work out the bugs it does a really good job.

Really appreciate your support! I will be cataloging bugs and prioritizing them for next release, but we are currently still working on deploying this product on our sites and haven't had an opportunity or dire need to release a newer version. We are going to do a bug sweep soon and consider some other functionality.

so i'm guessing you can't capture any user information for newsletters, demographics or whatever?
