Membership login to admin backend

Hi Shawn,

You can do a check just before you insert the record in the database like this:

if(!@$_REQUEST['web_address']){
//set a default value if value not entered by the user.
$_REQUEST['web_address']="no website";
}

Hope this helps

Works like a charm! Thanks Jason.

Hi Shawn,

Just noticed your post regarding protecting from spambots.

One of the things that I did in addition to the "disabled" field was to add an "approved" field to my section, and then implement the emailOnApproved plugin to automatically send an e-mail to the applicant on approval of their account.

I also wanted to use CAPTCHA validation on my membership signup form and although RE-CAPTCHA was pretty easy to implement, it was a pretty intrusive addition to many web pages.

I discovered another alternative in a program called Captcha Creator. http://www.captchacreator.com/

I can format the Captcha display to fit my page design and it works like a charm. Their program is not free, and an unlimited use license costs $50.

It's a pretty simple setup, but there were some challenges with CMSB integration that needed to be worked out. (See Post http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=83615

You can find detailed recipes for implementation of both the membership plugin and CAPTCHA in my CMSB Cookbook. http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth
