Hello,
I purchased the website membership plugin, all is great etc, but I was wondering will it be updated in the future and if so could you consider making way for a validation the user.

This can be done by when the user signs up, an email will be sent containing an encrypted link that is required to be clicked for to open the users account to be activated.

Hi Kenny

Thanks for posting!

There are lots of different options for modifying the user membership. We always start with the most basic options and let you guys go from there. That way, we aren't excluding any options :).

Specifically for what you are asking, the default does actually have some varification in there. Basically, the signup form does not ask for a password. You fill the form out and the script generates a password for you. That password is emailed.

Does that sound like it would or would like to explore some more options? Our consulting team can make pretty much any changes to the script you need (provided there's some budget :)).

Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hi Kenny,

Sorry that I didn't see this earlier.

I've actually set up 2 different scenarios for membership signup.

1 where members had to pay a fee via PayPal before they could access the member sign up page. Using linklok from http://www.vibralogix.com/products.php

The other where prospective members had to pay first (not utilizing linklok) but before they were emailed their password, an "approved" checkbox in their user record had to be checked by the admin. (This one used the emailOnApproved plugin)
Both scenarios use Captcha verification

I've documented the implementation in my CMSB Cookbook thecmsbcookbook.com


Hope that helps,

Jerry Thank You and Happy Saint Patricks day,
I did subscribe to your book and it makes a great read, I also did purchase the membership plugin but I ended up asking for a refund for all purchases as i found all my clients would require all passwords in the database to be encrypted.

I will keep my eye out for the updates in the future (as they may implement encrypted passwords) as I and many others I have chatted to in other news groups have chatted about interactivetools and all whom I have spoken to have mentioned that the password encryption is of great importance.

thanks for your reply

cheers
