Hey Folks, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do Member Aproval, I have set it as required in SMF, is there something I need to do to set it in Mambo?
I'm recovering from a hacked phpBB board and so I want to make sure I have direct control over deciding on new members.
Can you try going to Global config, then set "Use New Account Activation:" to No.
If that works, set SMF registration to No. And make sure that noone can go directly to the main SMF url.
I'm not sure I follow you by making sure that no one can go directly to the main SMF url. How would I block it and drive them through registration. My goal is just to moderate registrations for a little while and then go back to activation mode. I was able to set "Use New Account Activation:" to No. Thanks for the response!
Now i'm not sure if this is exaclty what's gonna happen. When a member register, they will be added to Mambo and you would need to approve them from Mambo only. If SMF registration is turned off, the members are added there too and it will be automatically activated. So you need to redirect members to your frontpage if they will directly go to your SMF url (e.g.: yoursite.com/forum). This will prevent them logging in to SMF. You need to test this though.
To redirect them to your frontpage... put this in the beginning of your SMF index.php.
Code:
<?php if (strpos($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], 'dlattach') === false) { defined('_VALID_MOS') or header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com"); } ?>
