Hi everybody,

is it also possible to pass a simple URL to a script, which takes the variables from the URL and registers the new user? The problem is, that i dont have the possibility to send something else... the only thing i can do for my project is sending an URL... will it be possible?

Is it possible to use this and pass in a password that is already an md5 hash?

for example:

$userdm->set('password', "5f0f8c991d3d31c63ab531916c298c65");

Yuo would just have to pass the variable to the cURL or modified script above via the _GET method . The cURL would then post this to the datamanager, Im just about to set this up myself, so Im no expert.

I will also have to use the modified method above since I cant install curl on my host.

I cant belive this isnt made easyier (for external sign ups)

You also have to remember to retrieve the global vbulletin variable to pass into the datamanager class.

I spent the last few hours working that out, hopefully it'll help someone else!

How can you have globals.php in your script root for a 2nd host/server/url, unless its coppied over, or the registration code is also in the root of forum.

Hmm, Ill look into this!

This is making driving me batty... With the "save" line commented, no errors are found. When I uncomment it, the data gets saved, BUT the error message line executes as if the entire program reruns itself. The 2 errors generated are duplicate username and duplicate email. Anyone have any ideas?

$userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY); 
$userdata->adminoverride = true;

$userdata->set('username', 'phpNukeUser'); 
$userdata->set('email', 'foo@bar.com'); 
$userdata->set('password', 'verysecret'); 
$userdata->set('usergroupid', 500);
$userdata->set('usertitle','Tourist');

if(count($userdata->errors))
{
	echo "<b>".count($userdata->errors) . " errors </b>";
}
else
{
//	$uid = $userdata->save();
	echo "<br/>User " . $uid . " added.";
}

My God - the curl thing worked. It took me all week to find this post. Thanks.

Novastar's script worked beautifully on the first try!

Thanks dude.

anyone having trouble with new users not getting a welcome post via datamanager, no idea how to make sure new users get a welcome post, there must be a way

When I use any variations of the scripts (with cURL and without) in this thread, I get these errors:

Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in /var/www/html/includes/class_core.php on line 1599
Notice: Undefined index: HTTPS in /var/www/html/includes/class_core.php on line 1599
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in /var/www/html/includes/class_core.php on line 1626

I'm using VB 3.6.7 -- has something changed in this version that might be causing this? Is there another file I need to include to get the environment set up right?

I see where these indices are used in class_core.php, but I haven't (yet) found where they are defined. Still looking ...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron.

Okay, I'm not thinking straight. Of course, php sets the $_Server superglobal. SO, I guess my job is to find out why the HTTPS and HTTP_REFERER values are not being set.

Thanks,
Ron.
