The Forum has been Updated
The code has been upgraded to the latest .NET core version. Please check instructions in the Community Announcements about migrating your account.
When you are using 'email validation' and 'require registration', visitors "apply for membership" -- that is, they "register". Admins are presented with a list of 'pending members'.
If you 'approve' one (or more) pending memberships, email notification is sent. When the Accounts Pending screen refreshes, the "Approved?" column displays the word 'Yes'. However, the checkbox (used to select applicants for approval or deletion) is still there. Since an approval email has already been sent, I do not want to (incorrectly) click the checkbox of an applicant that has already been approved -- possibly sending a second email to applicant. My remedy: Hide the checkbox for applicants who have already been approved!
This 'mod' requires changes to only two lines of code. If you want to disable the checkbox for 'approved' applicants, follow the instructions below. Be careful of line wraps. Find these 2 lines of code in ADMIN_ACCOUNTS_PENDING.ASP (approx Ln 434)
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & CColor & """ align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """><input type=""checkbox"" name=""id"" value=""" & MP_MemberID & """ onclick=""Toggle(this)""></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
REPLACE THE 2 LINES ABOVE WITH THE FOLLOWING SEVEN LINES OF CODE:
if MP_MemberApprove = 1 then
Response.Write " <td bgcolor=""" & CColor & """ align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """> </font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
else
Response.Write "<td bgcolor=""" & CColor & """ align=""center""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strFooterFontSize & """ color=""" & strForumFontColor & """><input type=""checkbox"" name=""id"" value=""" & MP_MemberID & """ onclick=""Toggle(this)""></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
" </tr>" & vbNewLine
end if
That's it... The checkbox beside applicants that have been approved is hidden.
Caution: Make a backup copy of Admin_Accounts_Pending.asp before changing the code.
Note: Tested on Snitz v3.4.06

You're still going to need that checkbox if you want to delete a member after approving them.

Hi Shaggy...
Yes, I thought about that. If 'approved' applicant completes registration, the name is automatically removed. If he/she never completes registration, that name will have to be deleted from pending members. SOP for our forum is to delete 'approved' (but unregistered after 30 days) applicants using Delete All Pending Members. This clears out the bot-initiated applications and approved but unfinished applications.
Thanks for the observation, Shaggy. Have a good day.

Its also worth noting that you'll need the check box to activate the account if they are having trouble with the e-mail not getting through and/or problems with the URL being wrapped/truncated by their e-mail client.... or any of a number of other odd situations.<

Hmmm.. I did NOT think about that. Good point... Oh, well... the idea sounded good! It appeared to be a viable way to preclude duplicate 'approval' emails in a multi-Admin forum.
Shaggy or Anon... why don't ya just delete this post. I don't want anyone to use what is turning out to be a not-so-good idea.
I guess we'll just have to pay closer attention to the display... Approved? = Yes/No
Thanks for the input, guys...<

Well, it was something you needed on your forums so there's nothing to say that someone else won't have similar need for it as well.
