Manual Registration

Hello,

My Dolphin Community is only one part of my website. I also have a forum and online store that will need the SAME username & password for each member.

My new affiliates will Join on another page of my website and then I will MANUALLY CREATE their (dolphin) community account so their username & password matches throughout the website.

I took the original login.php file and renamed it create_profile.php

Then I made a new file named login.php which "redirects" to the Join Page mention above.

In the Admin Settings Postmoderation I have "Registration by invitation only:" UNchecked.

When I go to the page create_profile.php to create an account, it is asking for an "Invitation Code" even though invitation only is unchecked... how can I correct this?

.......OR is their a way to create a NEW account in the ADMIN AREA?

Hello

First of all Dolphin doesn't have login.php file at all. May be you are saying about join.php file which is used to create profiles. 

If you are saying that 'Registration by invitation only' setting is unchecked in admin panel then default Dolphin's Join page should allow visitors to join without any additional codes. Try to clear cache in cache folder. Admin panel takes settings directly  from DB? but user end takes them from cache file (cache/sys_options_xxx.php). By default when the setting was changed in admin panel the cache file should be updated automatically, but may be the setting was changed via DB or something like this. In this case cache file will have old values.

Hello AntonLV,

My mistake, it is join.php I am referring too.

OK, I cleared the cache in:

cache folder

and

cache_public folder

... and the "Invitation Code:" field is still visible on the join page.

As I stated in the original post, Is it possible that it is not working because I changed the name of the join.php to create_profile.php (which is my new join page)?

Looking forward to your reply,

Oddly, there is no way to do a manual account creation in the Admin area. The only way is to join. The system seems to break when you move or rename the join.php file, at least from what I've read other people post.

You might try a work around and just remove all "join" links from your site so that there is no readily apparent way for people to join and remove the "invite a friend" link from the footer menu so that no one can invite anyone else. You'll have to replace the original join.php file (or alternately check all of the code throughout the entire Dolphin install to make sure that any instance of join.php that the code refers to is redirected to your new file. (not sure that this will fix that problem, but maybe) Then, if you want to have it set to 'invitation only' just email yourself an invite and save that code for manually registering new members. If you want the invitation only setting turned off since you've removed all of the join links, then you can just directly go to yoursite/join.php to manually register your members.

Then email the new members their login information and they would just login from the main page.

Anyway I can add a new member via (database) phpMyAdmin

Does the new version 7.1 (Osha) allow for new Member generation in the Admin area?

Renaming join.php requires a lot of other things be changed to prevent breaking things in dolphin.
