Password Protect User Registration

Post by dwkeys » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:19 pm

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so that only users with a pre-known password/code can register for the site. Does anyone know how to add a new field on the registration page that can check if a certain code has been entered when hitting submit?

Thanks
dwkeys

could you not use htaccess and password to protect the /components/com_registration folder?

I'm also looking for this solution but can't find it. I can't use .htaccess on components/com_registration since I use CB...

Thank you for your suggestion arst06d, but I also started using CB. And the registration part is included in a huge php file.

I'd suggest you may want to try the CB site if that is what you are using to exetend the user profiles.
If you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem.
