Does DBman process email addresses on signup?
I'm confused. JPdeni has written an entire MOD, 'Ban Email Domains from Signup', yet, DBman doesn't currently accept email addresses on user signup!?
Am I missing something ?

Please point me in the right direction.

Please add this field to your db.cfg this line in the %db_def:
Email => [5, 'alpha', 40, 255, 1, '', '^(.+\@.+\..+)$'],

Hope with this help

there's a mod called change permissions ... and this also ties into several other mods like change email - change password. Her mod is probably a hack that somebody bothered her for and she just as JPDeni is nicely created this version.

Have you seen her site yet? I really recommend going there and over to LoisC 's unoffical dbman faq area. Both of these resources are probably even more amazing that the simpleness and efectiveness of dbman.

I'm sure LoisC will be able to explain in greater detail than I could even try
good luck

Thanks Atlas, QooQ

I've found the 'Add $email to password file' thread at the 'Unofficial FAQ'.
This covers the admin aspect, though I don't think adding $email on signup is covered.
If anyone has implemented $email on signup, please let me know how you got on.

Meanwhile, I'll make some coffee and get my head in some code. :|

At last !

JPDeni has already covered this feature above and beyond the call of duty with the Secure_Lookup MOD.
http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/Mods/secure_lookup.html

Im surprised none of you vets recall this. It's a major improvement to DBman.

JPDeni, we're not worthy.
Thanks for your selfless work.

If "$email on signup" is at http://webmagic.hypermart.net/dbman/admin.htm I can't find it in simple layman's terms. There's plenty of mods which seem to use that facility but none of the mods have a hyperlink to adding the facility.

Please where is the URL with it in? And don't just say read the FAQ, I have and can't see it there! And don't just say look at JPDeni's site because I have looked, I just want to know where on that site I can find it!

To quote the thread where the mod was announced:

Subject New Mod -- Ban Email Domains
Posted by JPDeni (Veteran)
Posted on 20-Jun-00 03:08 AM
--------------------------
I just finished a new mod which will allow you to keep a list of email domains that you wish to ban from your site. It requires the installation of the secure password lookup mod first.

This mod will allow you to prohibit users who have certain domains in their email addresses. The most common use of this is to ban free email domains, requiring users to give their true email address. This mod will also allow you to edit the list of domains within the DBMan script, so you don't have to download the file, edit it and then upload it again.
==========
So you do need to first install the secure password lookup mod before banning email addresses.

Hope this helps

Still looking for a pointer where this is. The URL posted points to the "secure password MOD" which is not what I want. I just want the mod to add an e-mail address at signup.

Atlas already told you how to do this in the first reply.

Then all you need to do is add the html into html.pl

Atlas' reply discusses how to add e-mail addresses to records the database, I can't see anything about the signup process, i.e. adding e-mail addresses to the password file.
