Custom errors for users that cannot post! · **Released**: 03-31-2003

This hack will present custom errors to users explaining that they need to verify thier email, or, that they are COPPA and they need to have their parent/guardian send in the approval form.

I made this hack because I was getting 80 emails a day askining: "why cant I post?"

This hack is an improvent to the basic idea Mas*Mind had on his email verification hack. This has been updated to include coppa users and to work in vbb 2.3.0. I believe it will work in versions 2.1 and later..

Download the attached file and follow the instructions. This hack requires one cut -n- paste to functions.php and two templates (all included).

That's it! Lemmie know how it turns out.

you should add this in a text file or something and attach it. so idiots that have illegal or cracked vB's cant use it

its in the rules as well. Thanks for sharing though

I would, but for the life of me I cant seem to figure out how to edit this post. I note that when I make changes they are reflected in the Hacks DB only, not in this forum.

ALso, there is no option to upload a file once you have submitted the thread.

Hit the "edit" button, on the lower, right side of your post. It takes the place of where the report button should be.

Jeepha,
what was the name of the original hack you found?

I have an older version of vbulletin and cannot find the hack you referenced in the requests forum

thanks in advance

What permissions should be used for Awaiting Email Confirm?

Jeepha · #10 04-01-2003, 07:26 PM

I'm not sure I understand your question. I think you are asking for what template to use for awaiting email confirmation.....

in that case use : error_nopermission_awaiting_moderation

Now, if you follow my instructions you really dont need to know anything except how to get into your templates section of your admin panel, it is all cut n paste from there.
