i need some help in regards to the selfregistration module.

my website is basically a school website, where i have a section for alumni. Alumni will only be allowed to login if he/she is registered. Now i have created all the user properties of which the alumni is expected to fill in when registering, the issue is i have a field called 'Year of Joining' where i need when an alumni submit his/her registration details, the field 'year of joining' is used to be verified if really he/she was a student at that school.

right now anyone can register but i want such that first it needs to verify if the person exist within the records not anybody should register.

Please any help would be appreciated!

First of all create function lets say 'NewUserWasStudent' which checks supplied information.

Include your file to 'SelfRegistration.module.php' or '/modules/SelfRegistration/action.reguser.php'.

Create entry something like

Code: Select all

$lang['error_new_user_is_not_valid'] = 'No valid student was found in database';

in '/modules/SelfRegistration/lang/en_US.php'

Write code similar to this

Code: Select all

if (!NewUserWasStudent($properties['propname']['data']))
      {
        $params['error'] = 1;
	$params['message'] = $this->Lang('error_new_user_is_not_valid');
      }

around 200 line in '/modules/SelfRegistration/action.reguser.php'

I guess that's about it. BTW it will be hacked version of SelfRegistration module supported by you only

. Have some fun !
