Installation Instructions:
(If you don't have the unregistered usergroup set to Can View Forum = YES then you will have to follow the normal steps then apply this fix: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=136)

1) Import the Product (make sure you have an original register template, or use the [manual edits])
2) Upload the images and javascript
3) Also Add these to your Additional CSS Definitions for your style:

.inputgood {
    width: 211px;
    border: 1px solid Green;
}
.inputbad {
    width: 211px;
    border: 1px solid Red;
}

Seconded! This automatic template modification thing seems to be the latest trend. I'm sure it's helpful for some, but it's a huge pain for many.

This was a nice enhancement to my current Ajax Check Username & E-mail mods.

Now most of my reg page is AJAX

[FReeSTER]

where do you enable the ajax?

I have to agree! Everything seems to be working fine me except when I used symbols like: < > % ^ & $ # @ - then the rego form just does stupid stuff!

It doesn't bother me to much now though as I don't have a lot of registrations happening at the moment.

Thats probably because your using "Jeff" and it would like to see "JEFF"

I'm not sure why yours isn't working it uses the VB database function so its taking your info from your config.php so it should work fine. It also uses your table prefix if it set.

Yes ill do this as soon as possible, I have an older version but updates have not been made. The only issue is that it needs to at least add the Javascript to the header of the template, because it designates specific Javascript valuables values.

I cant seem to re-create your error.

Do you mean the phrases? They can be parsed at runtime. I modified my templates manually and simply added the javascript in the following format:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var ajaxreg_email_error_1 = "$vbphrase[ajaxreg_email_error_1]";
var ajaxreg_email_error_2 = "$vbphrase[ajaxreg_email_error_2]";
var ajaxreg_email_error_3 = "$vbphrase[ajaxreg_email_error_3]";
var ajaxreg_email_error_4 = "$vbphrase[ajaxreg_email_error_4]";
... ETC....
-->
</script>

It's working fine.

well added the manual edits (doesn't include the javascript part)

I don't think many people would put > and < into their username, but this is what happens:

Attachment 63681

Also, if I type in test,ing (note the comma) when I tab down to the password field, it changes the username to test.

I can't imagine to many people creating a username like test,ing or ><testing, but I thought I would make you aware of it anyway.

I've updated as well, seems to working fine with the exception of the above.

Thanks!

I just got around to installing this. It adds a real touch of class to registration! Thanks again.
