I do not regularly follow this thread anymore. Any problems or questions posted here will most likely only get answered by other forum members.

Original post

This plugin is for Textpattern rc3 rev351 or newer. It will allow users to register themselves for accounts on a Textpattern site. This is useful for community based sites that wish to allow users to sign up and then contribute to the content. This plugin is an improved version of my previously released rc1 mod.

Features:

Users can create their own accounts, with an admin defined privileges.
Plugin adds a tab to the admin interface to allow for easy alterations of the plugin settings.
Configurable registration form that can appear anywhere on a Textpattern site.
Configurable email message that is sent to users upon successful creation of account. Admin will also receive a copy of this email.
No modifications are needed to Textpattern code.

More Information

There is a new version of mem_self_register available. I fixed a lot of issues and changed a bunch of the tags so that all forms now use my mem_form plugin.

Nice work! Will this send the admin an email when it sends the new user an email? And I read through, but didn’t see how you go about setting priveledges I am assuming that is taken care of in the admin tab.

This plugin has an admin tab, which currently only handles configuration options for the plugin.

When the email is sent out, the configured admin email will be in the Bcc field. You have made me think about this feature a little bit more. I think I will make it so the admin can optionally be emailed upon new user registrations, since I know some people don’t like receiving emails.

so what’s the current state of this plugin?

wilshire · 2005-05-26 12:07:19

You can keep up with the progress here. Looks like the ransom is 20% there.

The plugin is coded, working, and idling. The documentation listed is complete and I am more than willing to add more features or clarify existing ones.

The ransom is currently at 20%.

soulship · 2005-05-26 14:26:33

The ransom is now at 25% wish it was more, but you know how it goes :)

Manfre, is there another credit card clearance system that you could use? Verisign for example? paypal does not accept all countries

Manfre · 2005-05-28 15:24:00

colak, I can’t afford to set up a Verisign account, but my paypal will now accept credit cards. I didn’t realize they only allowed US and Canada to sign up. I guess now I can start tooling around with the various paypal plugins I was brainstorming about.

Jeremie · 2005-05-31 09:28:33

What, only $25 for this plugin ? C’mon people, wake up.

small participation to the ransom done.

heikki74 · 2005-06-02 08:24:43

Pling plong – 60% there

davidm · 2005-06-02 08:50:30

Great plugin ! This one was definitely missing…
Is this the one used at textpattern.org ?

Enough questions, I’ll drop a few bucks to help make it to the 100$ !
