Hi!
tks for share!
A little question: the order of the steps to upgrade is this?

the upgrade process is:

delete all the files that you uploaded before and uninstall the older version, then install the new one, and finally upload the new files

Only to confirm.
Tks again

havent added a log because this it a early rollout, it functions but i want to make it even better. This release was for suggestions and hopefully to fix alot of issues.

Current Suggestions:

- Add a check button next to the username field instead of a onchange event
- Add a check email button and have it disappear once a good email is entered
- Make it focus on the next field

If anyone has any other ideas please feel free to post them.

Also if the quick flash bothers you when you first load the page i can offer an manual template edit.

yes basically reverse the install process. then install again.

there are new phrases... so it requires a uninstall.

I've uninstalled due to this problem

The solution for the version 3.1.1 is here. Just read the thread attentively.

But I have a question to Coders Shack. Have you included such a solution into your new version? This was a great problem for the languages other than English.

I'm not sure I like the gradual reveal of all the fields on this version - I thought the 'old' form was pretty good .

Will it be possible to override this as an option?

Great hack btw too!

So...basically there are no security issues with the previous version of this hack...just cosmetic fixes? Am I correct?

I really don't see the need to update this hack if the one I currently have installed is working perfectly.

I see a lot of this going on...where a mod comes out and users make referenece to this and that...having nothing to do with the overall functionality of a hack. The coder then feels the need to change it based on these recommendations...when there really isn't the need to do so.

Coders Shack...

Just leave it alone man...it's working fine on 3.6.8 PL2...

I really don't want to change it, if I don't have to. Plus...you sent all those who have installed your previous version...which was stable I might add...an email to a manual update of a Beta version...which IMHO isn't stable...otherwise, it wouldn't be a Beta version...right?

Okay...the changes you made per your post:

• Add a check button next to the username field instead of a onchange event
• Add a check email button and have it disappear once a good email is entered
• Make it focus on the next field

You see my point? All of the changes you made above aren't necessary. Your previous version works fine. Leave well enough alone, man...seriously. Otherwise, I think I'll just uninstall this thing before you have someone tell you..."Hey, can you change the color of the red 'x' to a purple 'x'?"

This is a great hack, man...don't ruin it for everyone...

BTW...why don't you remove the unecessary vulgar email address from your attached image for this hack...really...that was a lack of good judgment...and a show of poor taste.

main thing was that in the previous version it used RAW ajax, which had quite a few issues with different browsers. This version is much more cross-browser compatible. As for my taste and judgment they are both poor, not like that has anything to do with the quality of my release. Basically the past version was done wrong... and sloppy, i decided to do it the correct way and a more compatible way. Also i can care less if you uninstall my mod... I coded it for myself and its not like I'm being commissioned for my releases, 1 install vs 1,000 makes no difference.

Did you see issue with username? It does not let you know there is an error if you put a username in that is already in use. Does nothing and the rest of the email and pass stuff does not show. You are kinda just stagnant until you go lets try another username. SO I suggest there be that username is already in use notice below username if that is the case.

I don't get anything going to your demo. It looks completely default.

EDIT:

Aha. I had to hard refresh for some reason. Sorry.

EDIT2:

HOWEVER, there are some big issues with the email fields. If you remove what you've typed and then try again, the system doesn't reinitialize, meaning it stays red, because it still thinks you've removed the email. It also didn't tell me the 2nd email field matched, even though it did.

EDIT3:

It's because I was using autocomplete, which should probably be turned off on those fields.

(also, one tiny bug I noticed -- not with this mod -- is that the banner to your site uses an onclick event, but there is no cursor: pointer; )
