Pay to register

Problem Description:
Hi folks having installed Yabb SE, which works great, I have a question.

I have a forum, which requires a small membership fee, is it possible to mod a file, so that when someone clicks the register button, rather than going to the register page it jumps to another web page of my choosing.

I have tried the application mod as suggested, but it does not do what I want it to.

All I need is a bit of code, so when someone clicks register, it jumps to a web address, that I have specified.

Any help, greatly appreciated.

Dear moderators, please don`t move this post, as where you posted before, no one visited

Actually the people who write mods visit the place where noone visits, whether they all visit this board is unlikely.

Posting it in the wrong place again is only likely to put people off helping you.

Thanks.

That can't be hard to implement. Give me a couple of hours, and I will look into it for you. I'm sure that would be very simple.

What's the difference in a "Mod Suggestion Forum" & "Mod Idea Forum"? I probably would have posted it here too

Sorry for the delay, but making sense of all these files is a bit easier said than done...  

Anyway, open Register.php in a text editor. Directly after the two functions Register() and Register2() are started (just after the {, just before the lines that start with global), add this on a new line:

Code Select Expand

header("Location: http://www.youraddress.com");

(of course replace the URL after Location with the actual URL you want to jump to when someone clicks Register - Be sure to enter the full URL, including http://)

And that's pretty much all there is to it.

I'm sure there are easier and more efficient ways to do it for people more experienced with the YaBB SE code, but this works anyway - I just tested it on my forum.

As this seems to specific to your needs, I won't bother turning this into a mod - It's just too much work...

Hi Daniel

I am afraid that does`nt work, any ideas.

try this:

in index.php look for

Code Select Expand

      'register' => array("$sourcedir/Register.php", 'Register'),

and change it to:

Code Select Expand

      'register' => array("URL/to/other/page.php", 'Register'),

Note: This may give undesired effects such as the forum template, Although you will be able to use all the yabbse variables.

An alternate way if you want members to just be sent to another page is:

in subs.php look for

Code Select Expand


      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>";


and change it to

Code Select Expand


      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"Your/URL/Here.php\">$img[register]</a>";


This will send them directly to another page.

Another way would be to add extra fields to register.php
