End-User Options - Ajax Check Username

Due to popular demand I decided to put some work into it to make it fully 3.6.1 compliant.

This one uses the phrase system so you can easily translate it without going through the Js-file.
This one uses the vBulletin Ajax Handler, no more custom and buggy solution for connection to the server.
This one uses vB-functions to create the XML file needed for the Ajax magic.

Generally said: This one is the old Add-on taken one step further.

I am a bit handicapped at the moment when it comes to typing but the Add-On is working fine on my forums and so I decided to release it.


Screenshots are attached, for a live demo visit this page: http://www.pagodentreff.de/diskussio...hp?do=register
(PLEASE don't register just for fun! )

What else do I need to say? Well.. make a backup before you start installing this Addon-On. I say it's safe but don't trust the German guy.

Have fun and click install.



Attention:
In order to get this Add-on working you must allow guest access to the file 'misc.php'. That file does the username check and it is important that guests can access that file.

I've seen something like this on some web site and I was impressed.

Well, I switched to vB 3.6.4 and on register.php?do=register I get:

var phrase_checkusernameok = 'This username is not yet taken. Feel free to use it!'; var phrase_checkusernametaken = 'This username is already taken. Please choose another one.';

Is this something with the mod not supporting newest vB or it's me?

[mrahul]

how can I allow guests to view misc.php ?? & is it safe to use, i.e no probs from hackers ?

[tankaya61]

what did I do wrong? wow, I am not a n00b at this but these are my results on registration, check my screenshot to see a problem, I am running vB3.6.4 and I have 2 username input boxes, please help me, Thanks!


EDIT: everything is working fine, in instructions it says:

PHP Code:

# now FIND

            <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
                <strong>$vbphrase[username]</strong>:<br />
                <input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="50" maxlength="$vboptions[maxuserlength]" value="$username" />
            </div>
            
            
            
# and REPLACE it with:

            <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
                <strong>$vbphrase[username]</strong>:<br />
                <input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="50" maxlength="$vboptions[maxuserlength]" value="$username" <if condition="$vboptions['checkusernameactive']">onblur="checkUsername(this.value)"</if> />
                <if condition="$vboptions['checkusernameactive']"><div id="checkusername"></div></if>
            </div> 


but I usually search for: the first couple of letters like <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:$ but I didn't see little lower another same text was there so yea no probs with this, it's working GOOD!

as you can see in my template I got 2 alike ones:

PHP Code:

            <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
                <phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[to_post_must_first_register]</phrase>
            </div>
            
            <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
                <strong>$vbphrase[username]</strong>:<br />
                <input type="text" class="bginput" name="username" size="50" maxlength="$vboptions[maxuserlength]" value="$username" />
            </div> 


at first I edited the first text, and I had that dumb thing thats in my screenshot, as soon as I edited the second one, and replaced the first one, everything is GOOD!

I posted a version earlier in the thread that will perform the template edits automatically. So, if you're not comfortable editing templates you can try that one.
