Major Features:

Customizable Registration Page: Customize your registration page's exact field and section display order. The default page only allows profile field ordering - our page allows complete ordering of every field into multiple sections. You can even hide fields and sections from being displayed.

Registration Page Instances: Taking the customisable registration page concept further, v2 lets you set up different instances of the registration page, with each instance having its own configuration of fields. For instance, you can make certain fields only show to users who have not been invited.

Invite System: Users with proper permissions can send invites to emails for registration! This can work in conjunction with either open or closed registrations allow for exclusive registrations based on invites! Includes integration with vBActivity!

Verify Email Before Registration: Ability to verify an email before registration! This can work in conjunction with either open or closed registrations allow for exclusive registrations based on invites!

Guest Redirects (Pro): Set up redirect instances which allow for redirects based on page views, time on site, thread views, and have options for persistent redirects or one time only.

Registration Process Tracking: In-depth tracking of guests throughout the registration process; including: error pages reached, ip address (only shown to users with is manager permissions), redirects, email address (if available), time stamp, if email was invited or pre-verified, and many more!

(Pro) Post-Registration Actions: You can now auto-announce when someone has registered, or automatically move users that register to a separate usergroup entirely. All actions are configurable per-instance, so it's possible to only announce pre-invited members, for instance.

?By registering I can choose, for example: "male" or "female"?

where male or female is a usergroup?

You can do this by creating a new user profile field and adding it to Advanced Registration.

Check your vBulletin settings, you're probably requiring birthday somewhere in there.

Thanks for the nice mod. Its working fine on VB 4.2.

Can you please tell where to edit the text of email content which is send for invitation emal.

Hi there,

It doesn't work for me; when clicking the link in the initial activation email it brings up the registration page. The email field is blank (it's supposed to have the email auto filled in isn't it?) and when submitting it reports that age and captcha are missing, yet I disabled them in the DBtech settings.

I've looked around and there is no vB option to remove age.

It may be worth mentioning that I have GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic and VSa - Advanced Registration installed, I have tried disabling them and it still has the same outcome.

I have vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 2.

Please could you advise me on this?

Thanks

Advanced Registration v2.0.5 Patch Level 2

Bugfixes

• If an invited user accepted the invite, it inserted incorrect data into the log file, corrupting the "details" link on the Statistics screen. Future invitations will insert correct data.
• If an invited user accepted the invite, it would not correctly increment the "Invites Verified" counter on the statistics screen

Hi DragonByte Tech, it sounds good. Can you pls tell me how many invitations dat we can send in one go?

[DragonByte Tech]

You can send invites to one email address at a time. The total number of available invitations per usergroup can be controlled via the usergroup manager.

Seems that something is wrong with my VB... your MOD does not send out the e-mails at all. I also tried with another MOD and the same thing. Any idea how to fix this?

VB 4.2.0 lvl3
Thank you!

[DragonByte Tech]

This mod uses the same mail sending function as vBulletin, please use the built-in Diagnostics tool to debug your vB's email sending capabilities.
