Ravens Resend Email Module

HI Raven.

I downloaded ur Resend email module and i like it, Very Happy

. I dont have any problems with it but i would like to take it a step further.

I would like to use ur module to allow me to personally activate new users to my site personally making it more exclusive.

To do this i would need to stop the new user activating there account using the activation email.
How would i go about doing deactivating the activation email, or changing it so that it says your application has been recieved and will be processed asap without giving them the activation link in the email.

I have done a quick fix by changing the sites url in the site preferences but would like something more permanent, as im sure changing this option will effect other parts of the site which i havent though bout yet...lol

Any help you can offer would be great.

If I remember right, there are 3 mail() statements in Your_Account/index.php. Comment those 3 instances. That will stop the mailing and therefore confirmation.

Hi thanks for the quick reply.
I found the 3 instances line 146,653 and 683 of your_account/index.php (lines no's shown in textpad). I commented all 3 instance and replaced the old index.php with the updated file.

Now when ever i try to use any commands related to your account i am getting a
Parse error:
parse error in /home/database/public_html/bbm/modules/Your_Account/index.php on line 146

My knowledge of php is limited and i may not be using the comment statement right

Quote:

i placed the mail() function in the html  comment tag

, is this the correct tag or is there a different tag in php for comments?

Thanks again for ur help.

David

This is php code so you want to use // in front of the code to comment. There are 3 ways to comment PHP code
// This is a comment
# This is a comment
/* This is a comment */

/* */ allows you to comment a block of text over several lines. The other 2 are for the duration of that line only.

man ur fast....lol

Ok it was my poor knowledge that was letting me down.....lol

One last question i hope, do i comment just the line with the mail() function or the whole script below

Quote:

else {
$message = ""._WELCOMETO." $sitename!\n\n"._YOUUSEDEMAIL." ($user_email) "._TOREGISTER." $sitename.\n\n "._TOFINISHUSER."\n\n $finishlink\n\n "._FOLLOWINGMEM."\n\n"._UNICKNAME." $username\n"._UPASSWORD." $user_password";
$subject = ""._ACTIVATIONSUB."";
$from = "$adminmail";
mail($user_email, $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
title("$sitename: "._USERREGLOGIN."");
OpenTable();
echo "<center>"._ACCOUNTCREATED." ";
echo ""._YOUAREREGISTERED.""
." "
.""._FINISHUSERCONF." "
.""._THANKSUSER." $sitename!</center>";
CloseTable();
}
