Disabling registration

[Markie]

Just like the title says, how can I do this?

[Jeff Lewis]

You only want guests to post?  Allow guest posting and they can do so.

I want only ccurrently registered members to be able to post , no guest no new signups.

So could anyone help me on this?

easy way to do it

1. in register.php add the following function

Code Select Expand

function RegisterBlock(){
   fatal_error("The registration function has been disabled as our membership is full");
}

2. in index.php change at line166

Code Select Expand

if ($action == 'register') { include_once "$sourcedir/Register.php"; Register(); }
else if ($action == 'register2') { include_once "$sourcedir/Register.php"; Register2(); }

to

//if ($action == 'register') { include_once "$sourcedir/Register.php"; Register(); }
//else if ($action == 'register2') { include_once "$sourcedir/Register.php"; Register2(); }
if ($action == 'register') { include_once "$sourcedir/Register.php"; RegisterBlock(); }
else if ($action == 'register2') { include_once "$sourcedir/Register.php"; RegisterBlock(); }

So if someone clicks on a register link, or creates their own registration form and tries to submit it to your site, they'll simply be told it' not available

Hmmm....


This is cool and should be an option in the admin page!

Isn't it easy to make a mod out of the instructions Joseph posted above? Maybe a bored modwriter around?
