OK many people keep asking for this including me so I decided to take shot. Basically what this does is lets a admin from the admin_member_config.asp decide which fields they would like required for their forum.
I just finished this today and am putting this up so people can let me know what needs to be fixed. Readme is finished and should be ready for people to try this out.
If you could test on all databases would be great I have only done this on access.

You can see a working example here:
www.thebragboard.com/RequireMod/

Thanks and let me know if there are any problems so I can fix them along with the readme.

Thanks Max,
I am going to try and get the changes in the inc_profile.asp smaller still but this works for now.

Well at least I hope it does. I hope people wil find this useful and give some feedback on what would make it better.
Anyway this at least it has worked for me

I haven't tried this yet, but I have a question:
Your Readme files says, "Upload the dbs file and run the mod setup in the admin options. Then upload the admin_config_members.asp to your forum directory."

But there is no admin_config_members.asp included in the download zip.
Did I miss something? <

admin_config_members.asp is a base Snitz file; obviously what Jeff meant was to edit that file as per the readme then upload it.

Actually I will look into that I already modified it as I had not seen a mod yet that has touched it so I made it possible to just upload over it. Let me take a look at that.

If you're doing that be sure to include a very clear note in your readme that people should preferably apply the changes themselves, only overwriting their existing file if they are 100% positive they have not made any other changes to that file.

Well-said shaggy, this would have screwed up a lot of folks who added other mods to the base file.<

Actually, there is a note in the Readme about uploading the files if you have a base Snitz installation.
But for those who don't*, you should also include the instructions for your changes to admin_config_members.asp (as you did with the other files) so that people don't have to sort thru to find the changes on their own.
*My "Profile Song" mod changes the base admin_config_members.asp<

It's intended to add options to admin_config_members.asp which allow the forum admin to select which profile fields are required for registration.<

Also Jeff, you should rewrite your Readme to be clear... even with a base installation, people CANNOT simply upload your included config.asp. Unless you want them connecting to your database.
Hint... I'd take that file down right away if I were you.<

Hi JJenson:
Can you check in your readme file:
& vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if if strLNews = "1" then Response.Write " " & vbNewLine & _ " Latest News: " & vbNewLine & _ " " & Trim(cleancode(strMyLNews)) & "" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if if strQuote = "1" then Response.Write " " & vbNewLine & _ " Favorite Quote: " & vbNewLine & _ " " & Trim(cleancode(strMyQuote)) & "" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if if strBio = "1" then Response.Write " " & vbNewLine & _ " Bio: " & vbNewLine & _ " " & Trim(cleancode(strMyBio)) & "" & vbNewLine & _ " " & vbNewLine end if end if

This is in theings to be changed/replaced in the inc_profile.asp. There is something in the middle that is not really clear. Thanks

Just to make a quick change for you while I figure out why the text area isn't working. Replace those lines with the code in this file.
Open Here
This should make the change. SOrry the text area is not working it shows up good in Dreamweaver but not in IE7 for some reason will have a look. Sorry.
or add these lines of code if you would rather copy and paste from here.

Thank You Jeff:
One Last Question. You have the following the "ReadMe file"

"Upload the dbs file and run the mod setup in the admin options. Then upload the admin_config_members.asp to your forum directory."

I already have the admin_config_members.asp file in my forum directory. I also notice that there are changes to be made in the admin_config_members.asp file.

Am I good to go after changing the four files and uploading the DBS and running the MOD setup??
Thanks again<

NO you will want to upload the admin_config_members.asp over the old one. This will allow you to turn on and off the fields you want required. So run the mod setup and also upload that file then run setup.asp hopt that helps

Jeff, I guess you missed my earlier post where I pointed out that my Profile Song Mod does change admin_member_config.asp. I doubt many people are using that mod. But I'd still suggest you include the changes in your instructions. Even without a posted mod, you can never be sure what files people have or haven't changed. So, I think when creating a mod that it's just a wise practice to document all changes to existing files. It could really save some headaches.<

The asp files should all be correct and in the mean time I can provide you with a zip copy from a base snitz with all the changes made to the files. Let me know if you would like for me to send that to you in the meantime.
Also the changes that are implemented are here to view also if you would like.

I will find another way around this. Sorry everyone the original file in the zip folder is correct though so if you will follow the readme for now and just copy those lines from inc_profile.asp it will be correct

I am trying to figure out why the html textarea is not letting all the code go through.<

Jeff, just what were the changes you made to admin_config_members.asp?
I've downloaded two different files, one from SnitzBitz and the other was an .rar file with the same files. Neither one of the files had that admin_config_members.asp file and the readme files were the same. Neither one of them mentioned that file either.
I'm using MySQL, so I might have some problems anyway, but without that file I can't really do anything.
Thanks.
The files that are included in the .zip and the .rar are:
config.asp
dbs_requireprofile1.0.asp
inc_profile.asp
pop_profile.asp
readme.htm
register.asp

I'm not sure your mod works this way but what I'd like to have is the ability to require certain info but yet keep that info confidential from the rest of the viewers. (If you don't do anything to the admin functions on profiles, then that shouldn't be a problem.)<

I'll get it set up and running first and then look for ways to tweak it.

I think the most important thing with new mods are: (1) good, clear instructions so that the mod gets set up correctly, (2) an uninstall, so that they can back out if they want, (3) the testing environment. If it has not been tested with other DBs or other systems, the end user should know that.
Thanks again. I noticed that AnonJr. mentioned your mod in his post on ways to fight the spammers.

Yeah and I put up on snitzbitz that this is a beta so people unerstood hopefully that this is not 100% done. My biggest problem I think is with the readme. I had never done something like that and I don't think I did that all that well

Let me know what you think once you get it set up.

Jeff, I've got it set up but I'm getting an error. I don't think it is anything you did however.
I've got the Usergroup and Captcha addon mods. When I try to register with those installed, the profile form is all out of whack. In the upper right corner where the name should be are the list of countries repeated about 4 times, so that the Username field doesn't even start until way down the right side of the form.
Now, when I pull out my inc_profile.asp file and put yours in there, the profile form looks fine.
Thinking that it had something to do with the Captcha mod, I commented out all the code for the Captcha mod and even took the one file for the Captcha mod out of my forums directory. When I tried to register with my inc_profile.asp file back in, it still looked the same (messed up) and the Captcha stuff was still at the bottom of the page. (Which is strange since the file that creates it wasn't even there.)

BTW, I had to tweak your code a little to get a red asterisk by "Age". I think there might be some confusion over required age and require age. But, anyway I got it working.
If I can just get the profile form to display correctly, I can finish testing your mod.

When I was installing your mod I just commented out the old blocks with single quotes. Which worked fine except when I got to the two includes of the countrylist file. After I took those out of the commented block, everything was fine.
BUT, I do have a new problem. While checking out your mod, I changed the options to require the date of birth. Now when I register as a new user, I get an error that I must enter the date of birth, even though I know that I did it. It's not giving me an invalid date of birth though.

I'm running through the code this morning to see where the error is.

Ok. I discovered something else.
If you enter that DOB is required and show DOB as off, there is no way to enter the DOB.
All the code should be changed to automatically check the "show" box on any field that is required. If someone clicks "off" on the "show" part of any field, then the "required" box should automatically click to "off". (This is not a big deal. It just takes time to go through the code and make the changes. I think I'll do that while I'm thinking about the DOB problem.)

Sounds good so you know codeman I was trying to figure out how to change the radio buttons in the admin section to check boxes and just ad another TD with that in it. I thought that would shorten the page down again and make it a little easier to use for the end user?
Let me know what you think. Also then you can keep that in mind as you are making changes?

Actually, I had to make a couple of changes so that the selected items would stay selected.
What I need now is something which will switch a radio button to ON when REQUIRED is selected for that item.
As for style, I think the menu looks pretty good.

Response.Write         "              <tr valign=""top"">" & vbNewLine & _

Jeff, I just wanted to touch base with you on your mod. I've tried a couple of different changes to it in the admin options.
One way was to have the show [field] with On and Off radio buttons and the Required and Not Required in a drop down box. What I was trying for there was to have the Required in red so that the admin could quickly look at the options and see which ones were required.
Then I switched it up and had On and Off radio buttons for the Show [field] and Yes or No radio buttons for Required.
I haven't had a chance to get back to it, but what I was after was trying to have the Show field checked as On if Required is set to Yes. If Required is set to No, then it doesn't matter whether Show is On or Off. But a person will never be able to register if the field is Required and Show is set to Off.
As for that error on the Birth Date that we both got, I believe that is probably just a statement nested wrong. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I wanted to get the admin section finished first.

Okay so I'm new to this forum. And I'm new to setting up a forum. Although, I was pretty stoked when I got it first up. Then realized that it wasn't requiring certain fields. So I found this forum. And did all the requested steps, I then was getting an expected end error and did as requested to adjust and still didn't work so I removed the files and began working on them again, thinking I had to of missed something. And now i can't even get the forum to load at all! GRRR!!1

I do have to say JJensen that you did a fantastic job and I just wish I could figure out what piece of the puzzle I am missing. Maybe if I step away and come back in a little bit it will either come to me, or you'll have responded :)

There are no set required fields. You, as the admin, are the one who 'requires' what info is necessary.
If you're asking what info most admins require, I can give you some suggestions. It is a good idea to require the first and last name to make sure you have a real person. (The username, password and email address are already required.) Also, you need to require either the date of birth or age to make sure they meet the minimum age requirement of your forum.
Right now there is a problem with the date of birth routine in this mod, so you probably just want to require them to put in their age. (Note: You cannot require the date of birth and age at the same time. You also can't have them both shown at the same time.)

Make sure that any field you check as required is also checked to be shown. Otherwise, there will be no way anybody can complete your registration. Just make sure the field is checked as "On" if it is required.
You might want additional fields required. That is up to you and your needs.
Hope that answered your question. <

Jeff, just wanted to let you know that I solved the problem which was giving an error on the date of birth. As I was going through the code, I noticed some other changes that need to be made.
What I'd like to do is work on a few more things and then I can get you the changes so that you can update your mod file.
In the meantime, if you need the change I made to get the date of birth to work, let me know and I'll post it.

Ok.
This will be for those who have the Require Member Profile mod already installed.
In Register.asp and Pop_profile.asp, look for this:

Code:

if strReqAgeDOB = "1" then
         if trim(Request.Form("AgeDOB")) = "" then
            Err_Msg = Err_Msg &  "<li>You Must Provide Your Date Of Birth</li>"
         end if
end if

Delete that (or comment it out).
Look for these lines:

Code:


if len(strMAge) > 0 then
     if not isNumeric(strMAge) then
         Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must enter a numerical value for your age.</li>"
     elseif strMinAge > 0 and strMAge < strMinAge then
	 Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must be at least " & strMinAge & " years old to join this forum.</li>"
     end if
end if

Right after these lines add:

Code:


' #### Require Member Profile mod #####
 if strReqAgeDOB = "1" then
     If len(strMDOB) <> 8 Then
	  Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must Provide Your Date Of Birth</li>"
     end if
 end if
' ##### End Require Member Profile mod ####

There are a lot of changes to make to admin_config_members.asp, but
the following lines should be commented out or deleted:

Code:


 if Request.Form("strAge") = "1" and Request.Form("strAgeDOB") = "1" then 
      Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>Age and Birth Date cannot both be On at the same time</li>"
  end if

The reason that should be taken out is because you want both the age and DOB fields to show in the profile form. After the DOB is calculated, the age will show up in the "Age:" field.

I'm still not set on this requirements, JJenson said he would send me the required file that my upload was missing, in the meantime, you all seem to be pretty knowledgable in this set up and I have an additional question not related to this MOD.
I am wondering if there is a way to use the database associated with the forum prior to actually getting to the forum.

I have a "segment" of a web site that needs to be access only, and I'm wanting to eliminate duplicate registration. I'm wondering if there is a way to set it up that when they first get to this segment they are prompted to login or register using the same database and set up as there is for the forum?
Thanks to all of you who have helped me in my novice understanding of how all this works.<
