Miscellaneous Hacks - Really Fast Registration by BOP5 (VB3)

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Live Demo: http://www.juot.net/forums/

The purpose of this mod is to get users registered as quickly as possible. Users just enter a username, a valid email address, check a box agreeing to the rules (optional), and hit register, and they are sent an email with a randomly generated password.

The fact they get the password by email confirms entered a valid email address (if they ever log in, you know it is legit.)




Full Feature List

• Displays on top of Forum Home (forum.php)
• Ability to customize script name to reduce chances of Spam
• Uses built in VB javascript to verify valid username in real time
• Uses 3rd party javascript to detect user's timezone and set it during registration
• Fully Phrased for easy customization or translation
• Full use of Stylevars to control colors/layout options
• Agree to Forum Rules checked by default option
• Show randomly generated password after registration option (this could lead to users with invalid emails however, not recommended)
• Random passwords generated vary in length
• Choose default usergroup for new registrations
• Register button not active until valid looking username/email entered into form
• Apply specific referrer to all users who register via this mod (good for tracking purposes)
• Compatible with my Rename Regiter.php Mod
• In unlikely event of error on registration user returned to regular registration script.
• Option to hide rules completely
• Option to show RFR Form to Admins at all times
• Option to put RFR Form on any/all templates manually (RFR Anywhere)
• Option to show JavaScript confirmation that explains why a valid email is needed and gives user option to update their email address.
• Compatible with VB 3.8.x
• Support for Human Verification
• Added option allowing user to hide the form for a set number of days
• NEW - Added option to enable the register_addmember_complete hook to increase compatibility with other registration mods
• NEW - (In Beta) - Added option to use RFR form in "IFRAME" mode for non-VB pages.

I've used this mod for a month or so on my site, I have not had any spammers use it, probably too new for them to take notice.

The mod uses its own email phrases for new registrations so be sure to customize it if you want to.

Some important phrases...

Email Body Text Phrases
bop5rfr_newuser - Email sent to email addresses set to be notified of new users
bop5rfr_welcome - Email sent to new users (contains their password and other info)

Error Message Phrases
bop5rfr_reg_complete - Message shown upon completed Registration
bop5rfr_error_missing_values - Message shown if missing values (only possible if javascript disabled)

Front-End Redirect Messages
bop5rfr_problemredirect - Message shown if error and being redirected to full registration form (unlikely to happen)

GLOBAL Phrases
bop5_rfr_agree_to_rules - Agree to rules text
bop5_rfr_really_fast_reg_join_now - Text in title
bop5rfr_timezone_detect - [Timezone Detetion]
bop5rfr_confirm1 & bop5rfr_confirm2 - JavaScript Confirmation before submitting form



The "External Content" is an option to load the time zone detect javascript remotely, you can load it locally if you prefer.

This mod is compatible with vBulletin 3.8.x and vBulletin 4.x.x

What about spam registration?

[BirdOPrey5]

Spam was discussed heavily in this thread - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=301283

I do not believe there will be any spam registrations. I've used it for almost 2 months now with no spammers. Spam software would need to be designed to work with this and I don't think it ever will be because it's not a popular mod.

The mod has the option to rename the script file so if you use a unqiue php file name it would make the chance of a spam script using it even less.

However if you do got spam, then disable it- this mod is for people who value new members even if it means some spammers.

Thanks BirdOPrey5 for explanation but is there any chance to add a haphazard question/answer box for example to the mod to minimize spam registration even further?

[BirdOPrey5]

That's not likely to happen until and unless I see it actually being used by spammers. The point of the mod is to register as fast as possible.

Very nice Joe!
Please consider to add this to the reply box, so that guests can post and register at the same time.

Does this addon check for banned email addresses or email addresses already in use?
Please check for location so that the location field is automatically filled in.

[BirdOPrey5]

It's not checking for banned emails, I will add that in a future version.

Check your email settings in Admin CP, are any registration emails going out?
