Hi Chris / Jason,
Quick question: On the form fields in the signup page you have the value below. How do I insert or create a default value in the event that the user doesn't fill in the textfield? i.e. I don't want the field to be mandatory but I do want something to be filled in automatically if the user leaves it blank. e.g. if the user leave the website field blank then it must use a default value of "no website" automatically.
value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(@$_REQUEST['web_address']); ?>"
regards
Shawn

Hi Shawn,
You can do a check just before you insert the record in the database like this:
Hope this helps

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

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
