Thread

We just want to email a link to the registration form to certain people to register… is it possible to password protect this dynamic page for the user to access it (we send them the login)?

Trying to cut down on human register SPAM ...

thanks for any advice.. and happy black friday 😉

Trouble is in order to use EE’s passworded functionality your users would need to have an account already.

I’d create my own registration form in a template/template group with a non-obvious name, not link to it anywhere, and change the member profile triggering word so the standard EE stuff doesn’t come up at a known URL.

You could use LogMeIn or Anonymous Member, depending on whether you wanted the same p/w for all, or to create a new member/pass combo for each user.

Hi elyk22,

I’ll move this thread to the CodeShare Corner forum so that you can continue to get some community input into requirement.

Cheers

thanks for the input

I was thinking of using .htaccess on the register page - but I guess since the directory doesn’t really exist it wouldn’t work.

I’ll give your ideas a shot and report back

Ok how would I ”..create my own registration form in a template/template group” ?
Would that require purchasing Solspace USER to build register form or is there another way?

If using LogMeIn or AM - would that not require an actual template to exist to implement those plugins - since the register form is EE member (unless I create my own registration form as above)...

Can point me to a link on creating registration forms?

thanks!

Try these, depending on your version:

thanks - that was a big help!

I used password-protect.php for the SAreg form - works great. This should stop the fake registration spammers once I disable the EE member reg form..

again thanks for your quick replies
