Hi again,
is it possible to create a custom field that is required by the user to be filled in at registration, AND have the input of that user checked against a list of options (which are hidden to the user!), in order to only allow the user account to be created if they enter a code that is contained in that list?
The intention is to have a very closed forum where users will have to receive their registration code beforehand, which they will only receive after they have gone through a verification process beforehand that proves that they are who they claim to be.
(That identity verification process it not the subject of this thread; all I want to know is how to create the special custom field as described above.)
This mod comes closest to what I want:
http://mods.mybb.com/view/registration-s...y-question
but what I need is basically just one single question ("Please type in the registration code that you received from us!"), and tens of thousands of possible allowed answers, which would simply be a list of heaps of unique registration codes.
Any advice very much appreciated!
THANKS!
Matt
