I really would like the option to demand email verification on signup.
Send the new user an email with a verification link to click on before he can log on to the site.
As it is now, anyone can signup with a fake email addres and spam the site with crap videos.
Verifying the email address stops some of them, and admin of the site knows that the email addresses works and don't bounce...
I'd like to see this as well please.
Yeah sign me up.also secure the anonymousness
(1) Can a user upload a video if they do not verify their email? I notice that after registration, the user is immediately sent to a page to update their profile rather than shown a notice to check their email.
(2) Also, while I have "Approve: Enable" and "Signup Verification: Enable" in the system settings, the user is automatically Active.
Is this a bug or do I misunderstand how the settings work?
Yes please. This is very important!!
THANKS
Download the latest version from this link:

Then replace the text in templates/emails/verify_email.tpl with this:
The code from the download may already have been updated though, please check.Code:Hi,

This is not the solution to the problem. That's editing the template. It's the PHP code that needs editing to not automatically give access to anyone who signs up.
The updated files are to be downloaded from the link at the top of my post. This includes all the patches to the PHP files. The bug fix in the template is just me trying to be helpfull. If you download the latest patches and upload them, it will not allow an unverified address to upload video. My template edit is just to make the verification email clickable.Quote:

Hello:
My video portal is geared towards families and seniors.
It would be good for me to have a feature that lets me put certain words in that disallow those words from being able to be used as usernames. In other words, I'd like to not have user "PigFucker" showing up in the user column if you know what I mean.
Thanks!
Lmao PigBeeper u should be able to edit that yourself pretty easy in the tpl and a bit of google research. You could look back at a previous version and find where in the script it disallowed !@#$ them characters replicate it for pigfuck and fuck and so on.
I downloaded and upgraded everything that was available yesterday (vshare_up_r20070530.zip and leki_template_fixes.zip) so this link is a newer patch, right?Quote:

Clicking the "Upload your video" link results in a 404 error although the page is on the server. It seems this is because the user does not have access but this is not explained. On logging out the upload.php redirects to the sign up page.
I also get a 404 error when I attempt to log in as another user: /login.php?next=upload although I am logged in.
I should have left well enough alone.

Thanks.
If you are getting a 404 Starapple, all I can suggest is uploading all the new files in binary again, and give it a try. With a new registration on my site, the user fills in their details, and then gets taken to the same page as your site. If they click the upload button, it brings up the "send confirmation E-mail link". If clicked, it will send a second E-mail to the user. Not perfect yet, but better than nothing.
Mersh, the code you posted is correct for a confirmation link, perhaps your E-mail client is blocking HTML links ?
I did that. I reinstalled everything. Went back to the original and everything worked. Installed the upgrades and problems started. I will start over again later.Quote:

It's working! :)
What I'd like to see is a notice somewhere that an email was sent to them right after signing up. Where it says:

The user has no idea that any email of any kind was sent to them at all. It doesn't ask them to verify their email until they go to upload something and not all users upload anything.
So, I added a notice about the email being sent to the invite_signup.tpl
And I got the verification email 3 times with 3 different verification links. Is anyone else getting the emails in duplicates?
I haven't reinstalled the script as yet because I don't like frustration. I haven't got feed back after sending the config file.
Hi there!
Nice script, use it since almost one month,no big problems,but ONE PROBLEM is very annoying for me: when someone signup for a site (as it was discussed here) user account is created automaticaly - WITHOUT checking if this mail address is valid...I need to be done - every user first MUST confirm email and then to go directly to member area...otherwise everyone signup with mail like: [email protected]...
Or other nice option is - everyone can signup with mail address,but after member see 5 videos already - member must be prompted to validate his mail address.
Please tell me what you think about this?
Thanks!
blogger,
OK, you asked so....Here's my thoughts (for what it's worth which is usually not much lol)Quote:

I guess one thing you can do is set it for no guest viewing in the admin panel and when you receive notification that you have a new user is to check their profile. If the email they use looks bogus, then just delete their account OR you can set it for "pay per view".
At this point your visitors have these options: keep signing up with bogus emails in order to keep viewing, pay to view, or go to someone else's website that doesn't have this requirement.
"keep signing up" to view is WORK so they'll probably go to someone else's website. Unless it's porn, they won't want to pay so they'll probably go to someone else's website. In essence, I think you'll be driving people away from your website.
Youtube doesn't force people to sign up, let alone verify an email, before viewing any videos so why you'd want to force people to do that, I don't understand (but then I don't have to it's not my site but yours and you can run it anyway you want to). The only reason I can think of for why any vshare admin would want to force people to verify an email, just to view videos, (unless it's a porn site) is to collect a list of emails for spamming or for a monthly newsletter. I pray it's not for spamming and not everyone is going to want a monthly newsletter. For uploading I can understand because if they put something that is contrary to the terms of service, you have something (even if it's little) to go on.
Porn sites ususally have a "pay first" which probably cures the email problem.
Hello, grynmoors!
Thanks for your answer!
I'd like to 'force' people to signup with real emails, cause my site isnt paid, and I want to make newsletter for my members, plus add some special bonuses for them. Otherwise,why should people become members and signup if they can see videos anyway?! What will be the difference between member and anonymous surfer?
At least it can be done - when someone signup to site,just to be informed on welcome page,that he have to verify his mail... Right now user dont even guess about he have to do this...
The difference between sign up member and viewer is that sign up member can post videos where the viewer can't.
Yes, I know that :)Quote:

Yeah, that golden tidbit of information really makes a huge difference.
Then again, like I said earlier, I don't have to understand, it's your site and you get to run it any way you want to.
Sounds like what you really need is like an art gallery type of script with something that has a login from the front page (just like a lot of forum scripts use, you have to login and verify your email before you can access the message board). Vshare script, I believe, is intended to be like youtube, which gives access to everyone until they want to interact with it (by uploading videos and posting to any message boards).
I think what you need is some kind of phpnuke website where you have to login to access the rest of the site, which is not the same as vshare's function, or I believe, what it's intended for but, I'm sure admin will correct me if I'm wrong.
