Quick Register block

[Chodhry]

hmmm. I have taken a quick look. It seems possible. I yet have to install the code on one of my test forums. BTW, do you know what files it chages/add of the forum.

Hmm.  Advice needed!

On my site here, with the Quick Register Block as-supplied, if I click on the 'Terms' link it doesn't open the Registration Terms as I expected, but instead goes to my default (file-not-found) page.   The link appears to be to "<a href="../index.php?action=register">" but putting that (full path http://ccgi.zillion.plus.com/netsandedges/index.php?action=register) into my browser just brings-up the 'standard' registration page.

Changing the 'Terms' link to "./agreement.txt" (as I now have) brings-up the actual Registration agreement, but full-page with no formatting (ie crap-looking to boot!).  Can anyone tell me how to bring this up in the centre column (ie as a link to an Article might)?

When i try this code out i input the code into a phpblock and i get this code back

Code Select Expand

<table border="0"><tbody><tr><td><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Choose username:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Email:</strong></td></tr><tr><td><br />Hide email address from public?</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Choose password:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Verify password:</strong></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td><strong>I Agree to the </strong><strong><a href="?action=register">terms.</a></strong></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>

it rips the form statements right out. what am i possibly doing wrong here?

you can see the code in action. http://www.domainzone.us

Your input field size are too long (at least that's one thing wrong).

Try changing the '30's to '20's.

i already fixed both the inputs and the script. in the instructions he tells you to use a htmlblock but it should be a scriptblock. just so you kniw

[jacortina]

Well, when I looked at the source code that the page serves up, it shows the top input, which fits, as being length 20 and it shows the next inputs as being length 30 when you first posted it.

If it's html, it will work in an HTML block.

I took this a small step further and cleaned it up a bit. It will also fit into a normal sized panel.

In a phpblock add:

Code Select Expand

echo '<div>
<form action="../index.php?action=register2" method="post" name="creator" id="creator" onsubmit="return verifyAgree();">
 
    <table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
  <td><b>' , $txt[35] , ':</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><input type="text" name="user" size="20" tabindex="1" maxlength="20" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><b>' , $txt[69] , ':</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td class="smalltext"><input type="text" name="email" size="20" tabindex="2" /><label for="hideEmail"><br /><input type="checkbox" name="hideEmail" id="hideEmail" class="check" value="ON" /> ' , $txt[721] , '</label></td>     </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><b>' , $txt[81] , ':</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><input type="password" name="passwrd1" size="20" tabindex="3" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><b>' , $txt[82] , ':</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><input type="password" name="passwrd2" size="20" tabindex="4" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext"><label for="regagree"><input type="checkbox" name="regagree" onclick="checkAgree();" id="regagree" class="check" value="ON" /> <b>', $txt[quick_register_agree] , ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">', $txt[quick_register_terms] , '</b></a>.</label></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td><input type="submit" name="regSubmit" value="Register" /></td>
  </tr>
  </table>
 
</form>
</div>';

For a smaller version use this:

Code Select Expand

echo '<div>
<form action="../index.php?action=register2" method="post" name="creator" id="creator" onsubmit="return verifyAgree();">
 
    <table border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
  <td class="smalltext" ><b>' , $txt[35] , ':</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td class="smalltext" ><input type="text" name="user" size="20" tabindex="1" maxlength="20" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td class="smalltext" ><b>' , $txt[69] , ':</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td class="smalltext"><input type="text" name="email" size="20" tabindex="2" /><label for="hideEmail"><br /><input type="checkbox" name="hideEmail" id="hideEmail" class="check" value="ON" /> ' , $txt[721] , '</label></td>     </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext" ><b>' , $txt[81] , ':</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext" ><input type="password" name="passwrd1" size="20" tabindex="3" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext" ><b>' , $txt[82] , ':</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext" ><input type="password" name="passwrd2" size="20" tabindex="4" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext"><label for="regagree"><input type="checkbox" name="regagree" onclick="checkAgree();" id="regagree" class="check" value="ON" /> <b>', $txt[quick_register_agree] , ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">', $txt[quick_register_terms] , '</b></a>.</label></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
   <td class="smalltext" ><input type="submit" name="regSubmit" value="Register" /></td>
  </tr>
  </table>
 
</form>
</div>';

I have used language strings instead of written text. However there is 2 strings you need to add. Open file located in: "themes > default > languages > index.english.php".

Before ?> add:

Code Select Expand

$txt[quick_register_agree] = 'I agree to the';
$txt[quick_register_terms] = 'terms';

Save.

I'm also working on trying to create a pop-up of just the written agreement when you click on terms, but haven't had any luck so far.

Hi Xarcell,

everything seemed to be working fine, until i checked my forum error logs - a freaking 3500 pages!!! ALL of the errors are with the quick register mention.

here is what is displayed for every guest or member and these lines seem to be repeated every time the visitor views a new topic (and it goes very fast as i've got a busy forum)

8: Use of undefined constant quick_register_agree - assumed 'quick_register_agree'
/public_html/Sources/Load.php(1049) : eval()'d code

i had installed some other SMF hack before - the smf blog hack from smfhacks.com and i think thats when these error started. i checked the index.template.php file and the last two lines that i had added were not in the file anymore, so i added them again, but still not work.

advice needed!!

Thanks!

Did you add the language strings that he defined at the bottom of his post.

Did you add the language strings that he defined at the bottom of his post.

i followed every step carefully and reviewed the instructions more than a dozen times. no luck.
is there any way to clean the code off my .php files based from the line code errors shown?
there is a huge buildup of errors and i'm afraid my database will be oversized and saturated in a couple of hours from now. unless i sit clicking to empty the error log...all night!?!
