I have attempted to use the Approve Registrations MOD from Snitz Exchange but I cannot seem to implement it properly. I am using the latest production version of snitz forum and no other MODS. When a user submits their registration after filling out all the fields, this error is recieved.
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: 'emailPassword'
/board/register.asp, line 167
Does this MOD have any other MOD dependencies that I should have installed first? Specifically the Email Password MOD?
Has anybody successfully used this?
Does this MOD need to be tweaked to work with the latest version of snitz?
The board I am attempting to setup can be found at:
http://dragoncrest.com/board
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Sterling

You overwrote your inc_functions.asp file, with the file from the Approve Registrations MOD. That removed the emailPassword() function that is needed for the Email Random Password mod. You need to add the function back to your inc_functions.asp file.
And when you add any more mods in the near future, make sure you copy and paste the code into your files. Don't overwrite your files as that will over write the other mods you already installed.

Davio,
I will definitely cut and paste in the future. However, I never implemented ANY other MOD besides the Approve Registrations. In fact, I don't want the Email Random Password feature, that must have come with the Approve Registration Mode.
If I don't want the Email Registration MOD, how do I remove/distinguish it from the Approve MOD?
Thanks,
Sterling

I have never used the Approved Registration Mod so I am not sure if it utilises the Email Random password code. All I can tell you is, your registration page is requesting the emailPassword function, but it can't find it. So you get that error.
If you can tell me, what does the Approve Registration Mod do?
If it sends you some random password upon registration, then you will need the function. If it is not needed, then you can remove the call to the emailPassword function from your register.asp file.

I wish I could tell you exactly what it is supposed to do. There is no description of the Email Password in the Readme and though I have a strong background in C, I do not know ASP.
How likely will the following succeed? Backup the pages and then delete the Email Password related areas. Forgetting how I will find them for the moment :). I suppose that is the hard of way of determining if the Approve MOD requires the Email MOD.
Thanks,
Sterling

I have implemented the Email Password MOD in an attempt to get the Approve Registration MOD workind since it seems to be a prerequisite MOD.
After doing this I no longer recieve the original error I recieve this instead.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
/board/register.asp, line 327
On a side note that may be relevant. When I implemented the Email Random Password MOD, the MOD Setup Tool under admin options, gave an error message when attempting to delete the dbs file. Could this be related to my problem above?
Thanks,
Sterling

I think I have an idea what is going on. The creator of the Approve Registration MOD had implemented a bunch of MODS and had left them in his register.asp.
Further, the creator did NOT document in his code or readme, what exactly these other MODs were.
I have deleted all references to a "local time display", a reference to an AVATAR_URL field.
There is multiple reference in the code to:
PM NEW MEMBER
Is that part of any known MOD?

After going through the register.asp from the Approve Registrations MOD in my limited knowledge it appears to be an unmitigated code disaster. I would love it someone would find a way to make it work or let me know I was wrong  because then it would work for me.
I have dropped that MOD from my board until I can find a way to fix it so if you would like to continue to troubleshoot I recommend downloading a copy from the Snitz Exchange.
Is this the kind of the situation that should result in the MOD being removed from the Snitz Exchange?
Thanks,
Sterling

Hmm, that's not good. Not gooa at all.
Who is the mod author? You could try contacting them about the mod.
That's not good coding if the author has left snippets of codes from other mods in the files. I would be upset too if I found a mod that did that.

The readme from the Mod has no details on the creator and the listed person at Snitz Exchange is ModResource which I believe is a generic name. When you click on the "email" option it is an email to the Snitz Exchange site. I sent an email requesting more information about the Mod and hopefully we can figure out who to contact to untangle the code.
Assuming I am unable to contact whomever created the code I am going to try and determine the peices of the Mod that are unique and extrapolate the require code from there.

Is there anyone that has looked into this mod further??
I am very interested in using this forum on our site as opposed to others that offer admin authorized registrations, but cannot get this functioning as desired.
Ultimately I want to impliment admin authorized user registrations only and the ability use the forum login as authorization for "members only" areas.
Thanks a bunch for your time.
