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.

is it possible to set which user groups can send invitation ?!

Yes, there are usergroup permissions that control how many invites are available to each group (0 being an option to disable them).

Is it possible, to add custom imput fields on the registration progress?
And is it also possible to make your registration in steps.

Example:
1st step: Personal info
2nd step: Gaming Info
3th step: Complete with a password and e-mail ares.
4 and last step:
Activate account.

I think it will be great for vbulletin...

Update

Hotfix: PHP 5.4 Compatibility fixes


This does not guarantee the mod is error free on PHP 5.4, but it will take care of the reported errors. Thank you all for your reports

Unfortunately there's no way to make it go in steps like that, as far as I'm aware.

You can add custom fields by adding new User Profile Fields (vBulletin feature) and then add them to the relevant instances in Advanced Registrations

This means you have changed the collation of certain DB tables but not your entire database, you will need to make sure all DBTech tables and their columns have the same collation as your vB tables.
