| by redheadedrod on 2013/4/5 17:28:46 Please watch for when I restart the profile thread and make sure to make a suggestion there. I want to try and include as much as I can into a new profile but I want to make sure everything is in the same thread so I don't miss anything. I will also be looking at the Feature Request list for xoops for anything related. |

| by deepak267 on 2013/4/5 12:58:31 Dear redhead, Thanks for your help. in my knowledge, most xoops site will have less than 5 registration a day. so if the admin get following option, that will help a lot to admin 1. There should be form/field on the registration page, where the user can write why s/he want to join the forum. The admin should turn off this field on the preference setting (though i don't see any reason why the admin would turn off this option). 2. when the activation request mail is sent to admin, the above custom message should be included in the mail so the admin can decide if s/he want to approve it or not. 3. on the mail to admin for notification, there should be following links a. "Send activation link to User" b. "Activate user". c. "Ban this IP for future registration" This will save a lot of time for the admin, as at present the admin need to login to the admin module, search the user and then activate it. Deepak |

| by redheadedrod on 2013/4/4 15:05:57 As of this date I have 3 weeks of classes left and then finals. I will be getting my outstanding projects finished up and then will be looking at Profile. I believe by making the authentications into plugins that can be turned on and off within profile it will make life easier for those wanting to support other features. Personally with the ideas I plan to develop into Profile I believe profile may become nearly as flexible as xoops its self but we shall see. I will be making use of my recent classes and try developing some documents prior to programming this so I can have it well planned out before I start coding. I am currently in a requirements class as well as a quality assurance class which expands upon these requirements. So will be interesting to make use of these classes. |
