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.

You can delete it if it's empty.

Thanks to a couple of your hacks I've been able to figure out enough of the scripting to customize quite a bit... Thanks!

Hi.

Is there any way that I can use the lite registration page but also have my Custom Profile Fields on this lite page?

Thanks in advance,
Joe

I was about to complain that this hack didn't work - then I realised I hadn't re-uploaded register.php. Silly me! Working like a dream on 2.2.5!

[Admin]

This is how people get killed, Gamer.

[N!ck]

to use this with the hack by firefly to show times in the timezone selection menu, just open up the "registeradult" template and copy that select menu and replace it in "registerlite".

[FleaBag]

Works great on 2.2.6, thanks! And please don't kill me FireFly, I'm still young!

ok, I am confused, both of those are eXactly the same, b4 the hack and after the hack...

[Webmasta XT]

woops, I made the same mistake as GamerForums, lol

Hey FireFly...possible addition/feature that may be cool to see(if nobody already asked, or it doesn't do it)

if it's set for it to use lite registration....then any users who signed up using lite registrations(which requires just email, username, and password I assume) those users would get a popup, or a PM informing them to update their profile info(icq, aim, msn, etc, etc, etc)

I think it would be pretty cool

I noticed that the default for receiving email from admins is now set to 'no'.
To fix it, in the lite template, I changed this:

<input type="hidden" name="allowemail" value="yes">

to this:

<input type="hidden" name="allowmail" value="yes">

after checking the regular registration template and noticing the difference.
Will this be all that I need to do to make sure the default is set to yes for receiving email from admins again?

[FleaBag]

Thanks, I'd noticed every new user wasn't being signed up to updates and now I know why.

[hotshot]

Thanks, this hack rocks. I hated all those option, most users are overwhelmed by all of that!

Nice hack, FireFly...

One question: My forums will only be targeting people on CET (Central European Time) - is this all I have to do to set this as a hidden value (CET as standard):

<input type="hidden" name="timezoneoffset" value="+1">

This while deleting the rest of the time zone related code...

Wild guess, could it be correct?
