To cut down on 'bogus' registrations and possible spam, this
mod will generate a random password and mail it to the
registrants email. No valid email = no posts.
-It certainly won't stop someone who's determined, but
it'll at least make it inconvenient.
I think a more sure way would be to add something like
a non-editable FIRST_EMAIL field to FORUM_MEMBERS,
but that can be for later.
----------------------------------------------------------
Based on SR2
inc_profile.asp
Add to top of page:
<%
randomize
MY_PASSWORD = Int((100000 * Rnd()) + 10000)
%>
Then replace (approx. lines 209 - 214)
<tr>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"align=right nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><FONT color=#ff0000>*</FONT> Password: </font></td>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><INPUT name="Password" type="Password" size="25" value="<% =rs("M_PASSWORD") %>">
<INPUT name="Password-d" type=hidden value="<% =rs("M_PASSWORD") %>"></font></td>
</tr>
<% if Request.QueryString("mode") = "Register" or Request.QueryString("mode") = "goEdit" then %>
<tr>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"align=right nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><FONT color=#ff0000>*</FONT> Password Again: </font></td>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><INPUT name="Password2" type="Password" value="<% =rs("M_PASSWORD") %>" size="25"></font></td>
</tr>
with
<%if Request.QueryString("mode") = "goEdit" then %>
<tr>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"align=right nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><FONT color=#ff0000>*</FONT> Password: </font></td>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><INPUT name="Password" type="Password" size="25" value="<% =rs("M_PASSWORD") %>">
<INPUT name="Password-d" type=hidden value="<% =rs("M_PASSWORD") %>"></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"align=right nowrap><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><FONT color=#ff0000>*</FONT> Password Again: </font></td>
<td bgColor="<% =strPopUpTableColor %>"><font face="<% =strDefaultFontFace %>" size="<% =strDefaultFontSize %>"><INPUT name="Password2" type="Password" value="<% =rs("M_PASSWORD") %>" size="25"></font></td>
</tr>
<%end if
if Request.QueryString("mode") = "Register" then %>
<INPUT name="Password" type="hidden" value="<% =MY_PASSWORD%>">
<INPUT name="Password2" type="hidden" value="<% =MY_PASSWORD%>">
It seems to work okay here - if anyone tries this, let me know
how it works out.

Almost forgot!
1) This is only for Extended Profiles so far.
2) You'll also want to include instructions
regarding this indicating that they'll recieve their
pw by email and that they can change it later <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

umm, that wouldn't work too well... they could just view the source and get their password...

A good point - I was mainly looking for something to act as a deterrent, but you're right, it's by no means a final solution.
Suggestions?<img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>

What is an extended profile

First off, what version are you running? -I haven't done this with any of the earlier versions. -This code was based on 3.1 sr2 - "extended profiles" is an option in the admin panel.
