It may not neccessarily be a " { " but similarily a small piece of code that is causing the check and compare function to execute improperly.

Did you update your database?

Trouble finding this line

Post by skyking_22 »

In the file: includes/usercp_register.php. I do not have the following:

$template->assign_vars(array(
'USERNAME' => isset($username) ? $username : '',
'CUR_PASSWORD' => isset($cur_password) ?$cur_password : '',

I do have this:

$template->assign_vars(array(
'USERNAME' => $username,
'NAME_FIRST' => $name_first,
'NAME_LAST' => $name_last,
'CUR_PASSWORD' => $cur_password,
'NEW_PASSWORD' => $new_password,
'PASSWORD_CONFIRM' => $password_confirm,
etc.

Hmm. I was wondering about this database.

Today a legitimate registrant for my board made a mistake and didn't pass the test.
So she's on a blacklist now?

Is there a way to undo that?

Textual Confirmation doesn't store failed registrants to a black list, so just have your friend register again - this time following the instructions carefully! :D

Quick question - when I enter a wrong reply during registration, I end up with a white screen (no error message). Is that intended, or did I mess something up?

[EDIT: The correct answer is B - I messed something up. ;) ]

Pretty sure I didnt screw anything up...

Tested the mod, and I can still register with the wrong answer. In fact, I can register with no answer.

My issues are people spams - not bots. Now I have to screen it new registration one by one for Admin activation. It seems to work but some of legimate users are leaving as they can't wait until I get to activate the account. I'll try this mod anyway just to stlow them down at least.

Most likely:
* the database table was not created, or
* no questions defined.

Please go to the administration panel, the Textual Confirmation section and check that the questions exist.

Unfortunately, there is no protection against humans. Fortunately, hand-made spam isn't massive and doesn't irritate me.

just installed this mod (community version) and it seems to be working great. many thanks to the developers!

anyway, i've got one concern: it says an email goes out to some database in case somebody fails the test -- what happens to that data? i just tried to register and failed the test on purpose (just to see) -- am i now listed as a spammer on the database (with IP, browser, mail adress...)? i don't think i would like to be on that list (as would any legitimate user who failed the test for some stupid reason). care to clear this up?

Yes, you can do this through the Administration Panel.

I wouldn't worry about it.

The people who receive the Textual Confirmation data will be able to tell you apart from the spam bots - easily! :)
