Block Domains
I have Links SQL 2.1.2 and use a two step signup form. What I would like to do is block people from becoming members using a hotmail.com, excite.com or .ru eMail address. The javascript solution posted back in 2003 isn't working (likely because of my two step form). Does anyone have a way of blocking these addresses via the script itself?

Hi Kriis:

I am not sure whether there is a way to do this with Links signup ...... (but I am sure others with more knowledge than myself will no ways of doing this).

Another way is by using Community for your login - you can setup some rules (Signup Monitor) fairly easily that allows you to ban certain email addresses or other criteria for any of the fields.

Regards,


Clint.

Hi,

Mmm... how do you mean "2 steps" ? Can we see an example? It should still be possible to block certain domains.

Cheers

If you check out the site at http://www.1001Recipes2Send.com you will see that the header on every page has the first name and eMail address form which when submitted forwards the user to a full sign up form.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,

Mmm.. I've had a look for some JS code for you, but couldn't find any. I'll see if I can put together a simple plugin for you.

The "2 step" shouldn't be a problem Smile

Hi,

Give this plugin a go.

I've set it up to block:

Quote:
hotmail.com
excite.com
.ru

You can edit this in the plugins "Settings" (there is a "Settings" link on the left frame for this plugin).

I've tested this on my dev install, and it works like a charm <G>

Cheers

I downloaded the file and did an install from the Plugins Download area but got the following error:

P.S.

Line 18 of your Install.pm has:

Code:
use Links qw/:objects/;

but all of my other plugins use:

Code:
use Links qw/$CFG $IN $DB/;

Could this be the issue?

Hi,

Sorry, about that - just change:

Code:
use Links qw/:objects/;

to:

Code:
Use Links qw/$CFG $IN $DB/;

and it should work Smile

The reason it has this, is because I developed it on GLinks 3.2, and not LSQL =)

Cheers
