Miscellaneous Hacks - Register: Require Passcode

This mod was made by paid request of jgrakowski. Once the mod was completed, he asked me to release it for everyone.

What is this?
This mod will allow you to require a user registering to the forum to enter an admin defined passcode during the registration process.

Features
Should be pretty self-explanatory

This mod should work with vB versions 3.6.8 - 3.8.7 (I've not tested on versions prior to 3.6.8).

Installation
1. Extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the `upload` folder to your forum root.
3. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
4. Import the product using the `product-register_passcode.xml` file.
5. Configure the mod in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> User Registration Options

Upgrading
In many cases, all you'll need to do to upgrade is follow the installation instructions above.

The only difference, will be you'll need to allow the files to overwrite. Also, when re-importing the product file, you'll need to set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".

Changelog
Version 1.0.0, 05/07/2011

• Initial release.

As this arose with the vB4 version, thought I would post this here as well:

This was made by request and released by request. It does nothing more than what is in the description - if you look at the screenshots it is obvious the pass only changes when the admin changes it. This has nothing to do with invitations. The person who requested this mod uses it for a game server, and they must know the game server pass or key to register - hence Register Passcode.

Works as advertised, and it's just what I needed. Thanks!

register_start hook placement may be necessary for some older templates.
