Manually creating new user accounts?

Johnny Doomo · August 30th, 2005, 02:56 PM

I would have assumed that this was possible, but once I looked into the admincp I am wondering. If I only want certain people to signup for my gallery, how do I prevent all sorts of people signing up? I was going to turn off the registration system and then just create the new registered user manually that way I would have control over whos registered and whos not. I don't see anywhere where I could create user accounts manually though.

If you designed the software to do this another way, please let me know I just thought this vs. leaving the site completely open to registeration and having to sifting through it all the first idea would be faster and better.

Also, if there is a registration moderation, where do I find that so that I can at least allow or deny new registrations before their member gallery is created?

Thank you.

Are you integrating with VB2 right?

This is handled through VB2

No I use to be with vb2 and now I am on vb 3.0.7, but after I upgraded to vb3 I just checked my site powered by reviewpost and I guess I never tried to login, because when I login it has the problem mentioned above.

What do I need to change or what would be different from my reviewpost install working on vb2 but now not working with vb3?

You need to properly set the vb3 integration in line 41 of settings table and also did you enter the vblicense number in your config? if you did not do this you can not authenticate

What about on an installation that I use the photopost system?

Okay your confusing me what are we talking about now. Your question has to do with vb3 integration what are you asking about on an internal install?

Sorry, I wasn't more clear on one install I have using the VB3 user system, but on another I am using the photopost user system. From your comments above I now understand how it must be done on the one using VB3, but I also want to know how I do it when I am using the Photopost user system as well.

Thanks.
