Forum Home Enhancements - Really Fast Registration by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Live Demo: http://www.totallycommercials.com/

The purpose of this mod is to get users registered as quickly as possible. Users just enter a username, a valid email address, check a box agreeing to the rules (optional), and hit register, and they are sent an email with a randomly generated password.

The fact they get the password by email confirms they entered a valid email address (if they ever log in, you know it is legit.)



Full Feature List

• Displays on top of Forum Home (forum.php)
• Ability to customize script name to reduce chances of Spam
• Uses built in VB javascript to verify valid username in real time
• Uses 3rd party javascript to detect user's timezone and set it during registration
• Fully Phrased for easy customization or translation
• Full use of Stylevars to control colors/layout options
• Agree to Forum Rules checked by default option
• Show randomly generated password after registration option (this could lead to users with invalid emails however, not recommended)
• Random passwords generated vary in length
• Choose default usergroup for new registrations
• Register button not active until valid looking username/email entered into form
• Apply specific referrer to all users who register via this mod (good for tracking purposes)
• Compatible with my Rename Regiter.php Mod
• In unlikely event of error on registration user returned to regular registration script.
• Option to hide rules completely
• Option to show RFR Form to Admins at all times
• Option to put RFR Form on any/all templates manually (RFR Anywhere)
• Option to show JavaScript confirmation that explains why a valid email is needed and gives user option to update their email address.
• Compatible with VB 3.8.x
• Support for Human Verification
• Added option allowing user to hide the form for a set number of days
• NEW - Added option to enable the register_addmember_complete hook to increase compatibility with other registration mods
• NEW - (In Beta) - Added option to use RFR form in "IFRAME" mode for non-VB pages.

I've used this mod for a month or so on my site, I have not had any spammers use it, probably too new for them to take notice.

The mod uses its own email phrases for new registrations so be sure to customize it if you want to.

Some important phrases...

Email Body Text Phrases
bop5rfr_newuser - Email sent to email addresses set to be notified of new users
bop5rfr_welcome - Email sent to new users (contains their password and other info)

Error Message Phrases
bop5rfr_reg_complete - Message shown upon completed Registration
bop5rfr_error_missing_values - Message shown if missing values (only possible if javascript disabled)

Front-End Redirect Messages
bop5rfr_problemredirect - Message shown if error and being redirected to full registration form (unlikely to happen)

GLOBAL Phrases
bop5_rfr_agree_to_rules - Agree to rules text
bop5_rfr_really_fast_reg_join_now - Text in title
bop5rfr_timezone_detect - [Timezone Detetion]
bop5rfr_confirm1 & bop5rfr_confirm2 - JavaScript Confirmation before submitting form



The "External Content" is an option to load the time zone detect javascript remotely, you can load it locally if you prefer.

This mod is compatible with vBulletin 3.8.x and vBulletin 4.x.x

yes i enable Enable RFR Anywhere to yes. the setting is set correctly. am using vb 4.2.2

not showing on everypage

[BirdOPrey5]

And you have added the code to the footer template itself? Not FORUMHOME template?

I ask because I have tested it on many forums and never ran into the issue where it was in the footer template but only showing on FORUMHOME. Can you link to your site?

[Naijasite]

its working now. thanks man...nice script

[BirdOPrey5]

New Release: 2.1.0

New Option- Allow users to hide (dismiss) the RFR Form for an Admin set number of days.

Note- if upgrading from 2.0.0 only file upload is not necessary, just import the XML file.

Joe- I installed this on my vb3.8 forum. I'm also running the BBR - Welcome Thread mod. It appears that when registering with Really Fast Registration, a welcome thread is not created. Is it possible to make these work together? Or perhaps I have something set incorrectly.

Also, I'm not seeing the time zone detection script on firefox. Does it not work with firefox?

EDIT: I now see firefox is working, wasn't looking for the timezone in the top area of the page. Still would like to see it work with the Welcome Thread Mod

[BirdOPrey5]

Jim,

Probably doesn't work with the BBR mod since this doesn't have any of the registration built in hooks.

but...

Try editing the bor5_rfr.php file.

Just above the line-

if (!$vbo['bop5rfr_showpass'])

Add this code-

$vbulletin->userinfo['username'] = $username;
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('register_addmember_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

With any luck that may get the mods to work together- make sure you test it though.

Also- please "Mark as Installed" :up:

[jimsflies]

That sort of worked.... it while I registered a username called "testing", it created a welcomed thread for a member called "unregistered".

----EDIT----
Ooops... I take that back. Originally I only added the second line of code above and didn't have the $username defined. It works like a charm now with the BBR Welcome Thread mod.

Joe you ROCK!

[BirdOPrey5]

You're welcome. Originally I didn't put in the first line, when I looked at the BBR code more closely I realized I needed it. It was an Edit to the original post.

I will add the hook as an option in a future version. :up:

[jimsflies]

That'll teach me to take the file edits from the email notification instead of coming here to make sure I get the latest.

Anyway to get this mod to work in a small window by itself? I'm using vBSSO with Wordpress, and while I want people to use the regular registration on the vB side, on the Wordpress side I'd like people to get fast registration. Perhaps just getting this fast registration box through an iframe.
