Quick Registration Hack v1.0 (any location!)

As required [ Here ] by Reverend

What does this hack do? Allows for quick registration of users!
When doing usergroup permissions and restricting access to alot of things you can use this little hack to call a quick register instead of Showing No Permission!
It allows for you to also disable the option in the Registration Settings
For instance if you restrict viewing in thread for guests they will get the normal empty forum with no threads and also they'll get a quick registration form!
Enjoy! Suggestions? Questions? Comments? [ g-force2k2 ]

*Notice: This hack doesn't include Coppa users. So if you rather have users join as Coppa if they're suppose to be then probably this isn't the hack for you

Very cool hack - I am sure this will boost new users

[Gutspiller]

Can I get some help? I stripped my version down because I don't want the retyping of the password or the email. I got rid of the actual fields to type them in, but when I create a new test user it says that all the fields weren't filled.

How do I make it so the system isn't looking for those retype fields?

I was also wondering if a hack like this could be applied to the login information as well. So that way if they are registered you are providing the means to login as well.

Can anybody help me please?

Sorry for the bump and all, but I was a little curious.

All quick registered users have all their options set to NO. This causes a lot of e-mails to the webmaster. The hack definitely boosts members, but we'd like to know how we can alter the settings so some of the options are turned on yes and a select few are on no.

This hack is great. Thanks for it. Hope you can modify this if you have the time.

(I am using 2.3.0 of course)

Is it all ok on 2.3.0 too?

Hello there.

I have installed this hack but i have a small problem. When users register with the quick reg form ALL options are by default disabled. Do i have the choice to decide WHICH options are enabled and which not by default? e.g. Enable Private Messaging?

Thanx in advance

[TheLab]

Bump for help....?

aaaah! please update your instructions... i couldn't run that query because you are using a ' for the description... and mysqladmin thinks ' is used to mark the query's end

my opinion: nice hack but TheLab got it... due to the missing of hidden fields all options are turned off... and turning off the "new message popup" can cause that users don't see your messages



found the solution for all "turned off" problems
@ TheLab: have a look at all the templates that belong to the "normal login"... in at least one of them should be hidden fields like

<input type="hidden"...

(don't now exactly)...

/edit:
have a look at register_adult...
you'll find something like:

         <input type="radio" name="allowmail" value="yes" checked>

copy that to this hack's template and change it to

         <input type="hidden" name="allowmail" value="yes">

and your user allow you to send them emails, if they want to or not
everything clear?

After attemping to install this hack. I get a SQL Error when i try and run tyhe Query that you have provided. In your instrustions it says to run this query:

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL, 6, 'Quick Registration Enabled?', 'QRenabled', '1', 'Allows unregistered users to use the Quick Register Option (Notice: This option doesn't use the coppa function!)', 'yesno', 18)

And when i do so i get this error

Database cporg_vb running on localhost
Error

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

ERROR: Unclosed quote @ 208
STR: '
SQL: INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL, 6, 'Quick Registration Enabled?', 'QRenabled', '1', 'Allows unregistered users to use the Quick Register Option (Notice: This option doesn't use the coppa function!)', 'yesno', 18)
SQL-query :

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL, 6, 'Quick Registration Enabled?', 'QRenabled', '1', 'Allows unregistered users to use the Quick Register Option (Notice: This option doesn't use the coppa function!)', 'yesno', 18)

MySQL said:


You have an error in your SQL syntax near 't use the coppa function!)', 'yesno', 18)' at line 1

[MrNase]

the first error ist because that ' in doesn't ... this should be (as i said) removed...

use

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL, 6, 'Quick Registration Enabled?', 'QRenabled', '1', 'Allows unregistered users to use the Quick Register Option (Notice: This option doesnt use the coppa function!)', 'yesno', 18)

instead...
