Add an option to use lite registration page in admin cp

This hack will let you select whether to use a lite registration page or not, directly from the admin control panel.
Using this will make your page look like this (with the header and footer of course):

Requested by inetd and so many more.

Pretty simple really:
1) Run this query using Telnet or phpMyAdmin:

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,6,'Use lite registration page?','litereg','0','Using this option will only display required fields for users when signing up.','yesno','18')

2) In register.php replace this code:

PHP Code:

  if ($who=="adult") {
    eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
  } else {
    eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
  } 


with

PHP Code:

  if ($who=="adult") {
    if ($litereg) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
    }
  } else {
    if ($litereg) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
    }
  } 


3) Add a new template named registerlite and use the file I attached for its contents (template done by kier ).

That's it. Now you'll have an option for this in your options page, under "User and registration options".

Hope you like this, please feedback.

Looks good ! Thanks for the hack !

I get this...

Parse error: parse error in /*****/*********/public_html/forums/register.php on line 614

[Admin]

It would help if you give me lines, let's say 610-620.

[Mike Gaidin]

Well, 614 is the last line of code so here is 592-614

// ############################### start coppa form ###############################
if ($action=="coppaform") {
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]!=0) {

$bbuserinfo[signature]=nl2br($bbuserinfo[signature]);

if ($bbuserinfo[showemail]) {
$bbuserinfo[showemail]="no";
} else {
$bbuserinfo[showemail]="yes";
}

} else {
$bbuserinfo[username]="";
$bbuserinfo[homepage]="http://";

}

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("coppaform")."\");" );

}

?>

[Admin]

Ok looks like a missing } or {.

Are you sure you replace this code: (and only this code)

PHP Code:

if ($who=="adult") {
    eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
  } else {
    eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
  } 


with this:

PHP Code:

if ($who=="adult") {
    if ($litereg) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
    }
  } else {
    if ($litereg) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
    }
  } 


and that you didn't accidentally removed a { or } from that part?

If you are sure, please post that area of the code.

[Mike Gaidin]

I figured it out.

It was a missing }

Thanks for your help and the great hack!

Use this code:

if ($who=="adult") {
    if ($litereg or $uselite) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
    }
  } else {
    if ($litereg or $uselite) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
    }
  }

instead of this code:

if ($who=="adult") {
    if ($litereg) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registeradult")."\");");
    }
  } else {
    if ($litereg) {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registerlite")."\");");
    } else {
      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("registercoppa")."\");");
    }
  }

in register.php.
(you will need to install the hack first)

Then you will be able to link to register.php?action=xxx&uselite=1.

Chen,

I'm getting a blank page. I've sent you a PM with more details.

[Admin]

I thought it's obvious you need to change xxx in the URL I gave.
I've sent you the right address to link to...
