I have this installed and working, and I like it, but i'm just wondering.. is there a way to make invited members get approved automatically? And not have to wait for an Admin to approve them?
At the same time I don't want to turn off Admin approval for normal members who sign up from the front page without an invite..
Cheers
If the addon work correctly, the only way to sign in is to get an invitation. Let me know if it doesn't work that way.
You can set the default role when someone sign in to be applicant (need approval) or member (no approval needed).
I can't promise I will do soon what you suggest, bur I will keep in mind the suggestion.
Well I have it installed, and people can still click the "Apply for membership" link on the front page and sign up from there.. so something isn't working right..
Also yes I could set the role to 'no approval needed' but then ANYONE could sign up via the front page without an invitation and without approval..
@Infecxd: perhaps, like me, you did not notice the new/additional 'INVITATION CODE' field...
IMHO this add-on could benefit from a clearer explanation, e.g. update the text on the left or add some pop-up explanation that clearly mentions where/how to GET an invitation...
Ex. current text:
This membership application form does not grant immediate access to the site. All membership applications are reviewed by an administrator before acceptance. You are not guaranteed access to the application by filling out this form.
Could read:
An invitation code from a current forum member is required to apply... This membership application form does not grant immediate access to the site. All membership applications are reviewed by an administrator before acceptance. You are not guaranteed access to the application by filling out this form.
Aaah, so that's the purpose of the whispers. Good, well, they can email me... ;-).
(Note: my problem was mainly that the text "whisper to (optional)" appeared in the new start a discussion screen if your extension was enabled). Thanks.
After installing and configuring the Invite Only extension, I get --- Fatal error: Call to undefined function: isvalidformpostback() in ../extensions/InviteOnlySystem/default.php on line 112. I'm running Version: 0.3.0.a
...hmmm?

Users won't be able to request you more invitation.

Of course, I haven't got it working yet.. but I'm already grateful.
thanks
