The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Registration Optimization | vBsocial.com | · **Released**: 11-29-2010

Registration is a known tedious process, and I believe vBulletin makes it very hectic for the average guest to register at your forum.

I believe all ADDITIONAL INFORMATION should not be there including forum rules. These things, members can fill out later and also read the rules later. After all, the rules are very similar from forum to forum and no members read them anyways.

If you have a referral system, this modification isn't for you. I think though, this will convert you more members than a referral system does anyways.

Go to admincp > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Register Templates > register and replace everything with the contents of the attached file.

Registration should be quick and easy! Good luck everyone

As far as I know this works on ALL VERSIONS OF 4.X and possibly earlier versions. I have been upgrading my vBulletin live sites with this modification and registration still works. I believe it also increases registrations tremendously. I've been getting anywhere between 30-60 registers a day.

Also it does include facebook connect and image verifcation ( even though the spam bots have beaten these)

Totally agree that your registration numbers will go up, but at what cost. If all you are getting is spammers whats the point of making it easier for them to get on your board. Once they are on your board it could cause the real members to shy away since they don't want to deal with the spam.

Captcha is dead and should have been considered a temporary solution at best. Pre-emptive scanning and filtering which doesn't require or allow input from the user is the way to control them. Sure some will get through but as they get reported, the filtering will only get stronger.

I suggest using this addon: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=248042

Combine that with this registration form and your normal users will be a lot more at ease. You won't have to overwhelm them with a lot extraneous questions.

A required field called Gener is missing or has an invalid value.
You have entered an invalid birthday.

Added referral section and scroll box for forum rules. Works on vB 4.1.3.

Replace the "register" template with the following:

Code:

	}

What do you mean? I don't quite get it..

Yes and no, the information for the birthday page is stored in a different template, register_verify_age, and not the register template. Then it submits to a form to check your age and forward if everything is OK. Could be accomplished but would take time.

I changed the code a bit and added the rules in a scroll box above the check mark. See one of my previous post in this thread.

Recaptcha.. provide your own images & questions, change them occasionally. Add isbot, (it's for vB3 but works on 4 with a few changes- look towards the end of their thread.), to your forum and you'll never get a spambot. Maybe a real person who takes the time to register and spam (people do get paid to do it), but as for bots- you'll get none.

Eliminates the usage of custom profile fields? Well that depends, if its a profile field you're requiring on the register page then yeah, but if it's just some other field then nothing should go wrong. If it is a field you're trying to require for registering- that's a simple fix. Need some help, let me know.

Thanks

cloferba · #50 07-20-2011, 12:14 AM

why you add the section "already a member"?

if you enter to register.php you are not a member... i think those 2 boxs are innecesary

mikeinjersey · #51 07-20-2011, 12:24 AM

For people complaining about the spambots, I used the original code daveaite provided, and still had my simple spambot protection intact.

I used

Settings > Human Verification Manager > Question and Answer

made it something simple like "What is 5 + 5?"

After implementing his Registration code, it was still intact and functional along with his fields.

So maybe this is a better alternative for others.

very simple to setup.

Along with Spam-O-Matic plugin, it's almost bulletproof. :-)

nice job , Daveaite
