Hi, new to snitz and feeling way round but getting there.
The forum I run has 168 members and possibly has 2 new and 2 exiting a month on average. Website administrators automatically add people to the forum to ensure certain criteria are followed.
Is it possible that rather than switching registration off as I currently do, that I can have a superuser i.e. admin who administers the membership.
Also when registration is switched off, is there anyway that admin can add members? Same question I think but might be a different answer.
Another thought - Can I leave registration on, remove the url link to registration on the login page and remove the register url from top right. Therefore the only way to register is by directly typing in the url OR if I was clever adding the register option to the admin section. Anyone know which files need tweeking??
What I've done on one of my sites is renamed policy.asp to something else and put the only link to it in the Admin Options section. I've also prohibited anyone except an Admin from accessing the page with this redirect code: if mlev < 4 then Response.Redirect "index.asp" end if
Like you this site's Admin controls the membership himself.
Cheers Stephen, just edited my first post to include an idea I had like this and then read your post. I guess this is the easiest way to do this. My user base isn't going to hack the forum so what I do doesnt need to be that secure, I just dont want people adding themselves and certain people have to see certain forums based upon their management level IYSWIM.
You need to remove the links to policy.asp from the following files:
login.asp inc_header.asp
In admin home add this on the RHS somewhere, I've got it up top:
if strAutoLogon <> "1" and mlev = 4 then
if strProhibitNewMembers <> "1" then
Response.Write " <LI><span class=""spnMessageText""><a href=""policy.asp"">Add New Member</a></span></LI>" & vbNewLine
end if
end if
