Random Password Instead of Activation Code

As per request, this is verstion 2.0 of the Random Password hack.

I am starting a new thread for this, because users of vB 2.0.3 and down should use version 1.0 of this hack, whereas users if v.2.2.0 and up should use this version.

[hr]

Purpose: When a new user regsiters, he is e-mailed a password generated randomly. He will not be able to log in until he receives this e-mail and uses that password. (the same happens if an existing user changes his e-mail address).

After installing this hack, you will have three options essentially:

1) Don't verify the e-mail is valid.
In this case the user selects his own password and nothing is sent to him.

2) Verify the e-mail is valid by sending an activation code
This is how vBulletin works now: a user selects his own password during registration, and the BB Mailer sends him an activation code / link that he needs to use before he's able to post

3) Verify the e-mail is valid by sending a random password
In this case the user DOES NOT select a password but instead he receives a randomly generated password by e-mail. He will not be able to log in / post until he receives and uses this password.

Installation: download the attached installer and run it in your admin directory. All changes that need to be made manually to scripts and/or templates are listed there.

[high]Important: If you previously installed this hack, select the "upgrade" option and not the "new install"[/high]

Cheers,

I would like to install this but I have the ever popular Community Bulletin hack installed thus the code changes is different.

The installer is working fine now but the hack still does not send a password.

Not only the hack does not work now, but even after you turn it off VB does not send a password after registration ( the normall way)

I will not upgrade to 2.2 unless this hack is working


Has any body got this Woking please !!

Remi I installed it on a 2.2.1 Board without any problem at all.

Can you please e-mail me your 2.2.1 member.php, register.php and admin/functions.php files to goren@atlasf1.com?

Remi,

I looked at your files. I even tested them on my own board. They are FINE.

Check to see that you have the following templates (and if necessary revert them to their original, if altered):

error_randpw
emailsubject_randpw
email_randpw
register_yespassword
register_nopassword

If these appear and you cannot get a password sent, then your SENDMAIL is not working on the server.

Cheers,

Bira

OK

It is working only if I set "Verify Email address in registration" AND "Send New Users Random Password?" both to "yes".

The problem now, It keep sending a password after the registration even if I set "Moderate New Members" to "yes"

The old version of the hack does not send a password untill the registration is moderated.
