Hey, yer actually only just recently launched my forum today.

Yeah Matt, share it please. Looking for this for a long time now.

Yes Matt, please share if you can…

That would be awesome! Currently I resort to new users emailing me from my profile page. After I see the are a customer, I manually add them as a user and send them an email. It’s a pain, but it works. But your way is WAY better!

Ok, i share the code, i’m hoping someone with better php skills would check it

The code is real messy, you’ve been warned!

The register.php file replaces the one in your themes folder and the unset.php plugin goes in the my-plugins folder. The plugin simply removes the extra profile fields in the bbPress register form.

The form and verification process could do with some jQuery.

I don’t think the $item_id variable even works, you can verify the user if they have have purchased any of your files.

Alot better method would of been to use a function like wordpress

wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email );

and wouldn’t have to show the bbPress registration form, unfortunately bbPress doesn’t have this function. Perhaps integrating wordpress and bbPress you could use this method.

I would recommend setting up a test forum on your server, not a good idea simply overwriting, not sure how it works on a localhost machine, like xampp.

Thanks a lot Matt.

Well it works, which is a great start! Are you using it on your own forum now? I can’t see any issues with the code, but then I’m not a PHP expert. Is it safe to use on our live support forums?

Has anyone got any idea on how to remove the need for the user to enter their username? I notice Kriesi and DDStudios do not have this field.

First left me start by thanking the code sharing

I’ll be starting coding my support forums tomorrow and I’ll hopefully address this issue. Of course will share it with you guys.

Cheers

Really appreciate that unisphere. I’m working on it myself, but I’m getting know where!

Any luck with this unisphere? I’ve noticed a serious problem with the username not being linked to the item purchase code. If someone gives out a valid purchase code, anybody else can register an account with that code since it is not stored in the forum database. If the username was obtained from the purchase code this would prevent the same purchase code from being used for multiple account since the username is stored in the forum database.
