Version v1.1 not working!

Afrer installing, this is what we see in User List ...

Warning: require(./extensions/pun_admin_add_user/lang/English/pun_admin_add_user.php)
[function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
<MYPATH>/htdocs/userlist.php(317) : eval()'d code on line 13

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required
'./extensions/pun_admin_add_user/lang/English/pun_admin_add_user.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')
in <MYPATH>/htdocs/userlist.php(317) : eval()'d code on line 13

... where ...

  • I have wrapped the error message,

  • <MYPATH> is the path to the directory above htdocs.


Easily fixed by inserting the 'English' directory -- but how confusing this must be for people with little technical knowledge.

Done it! So far, so good ...

But it's not scaleable it is?
Perhaps best seen as a very useful extra precaution?

Ok I will try this suggestion ...
I don't mind deleting spammers.
If they cannot post, and nobody else knows they exist, it will not affect our real users.
And thanks for taking an interest smile

Thanks Yonash

I should have said that the reason for requiring admin approval of registrations is to keep out spammers -- all of them.

But we also want everybody to be able to see all the forums. Nothing should be hidden. We just want full control over who may post.

In every other respect, PunBB is exactly what we need.

Now I'm wondering if I could write an extension myself. hmm

Using version 1.3.

We need to do this ...

1. New users registers, with confirmation link by email as usual.
2. New user confirms by clicking link.
3. New user then sees a message stating that registration is not complete until an administrator has approved it.
4. Admin (or moderator) gets an email containing an approval link.
5. If the admin person approves, he/she clicks on the approval link.
6. New user gets an email saying the registration has been approved, followed by welcome message.

I imagine this is possible. But I can't find an extension for it.
Are we being too optimistic?    smile
