How do I add banned item code to a custom form?

Design and Skin Customization

That's right, so yes, no!

I will think about the login setting.

It is certainly an easy option (though it prevents easy legitimate contact from non-members).

Thanks for the tip.

How do I add banned item code to a custom form?

Design and Skin Customization

The Banned Item documentation, which further states:

You can use the jrBanned modules features when creating forms by adding in a 'ban_check' => 'word', to the form field creator of your module.


"the form field creator of your module" - does this apply to custom forms?

How do I add banned item code to a custom form?

Design and Skin Customization

The documentation offers this code snippet for adding to custom forms, to screen unwanted words. How exactly should this be added? I am hoping to be able to use this to reduce the frequency of spam contact messages.

// Action Text
$_tmp = array(
'name' => 'action_text',
'label' => "Activity",
'help' => "Update your activity post",
'type' => 'textarea',
'ban_check' => 'word',
'validate' => 'printable',
'required' => true
);
jrCore_form_field_create($_tmp);

Can members reopen an account after the email address is identified as invalid by Kickbox?

Using Jamroom

Did the following:

1. Changed quota name to: "Contact Admin to Renew Membership"
2. Gave the quota the same features as Regular Member so that the returning member will see a familiar profile page.
3. Confirmed that Power User is disabled for this quota, as the selection of suitable quota will vary according to the member's history, and also because the member should be removed entirely from this quota if the membership is being renewed.

Will call this solved, though further comments are welcome.

Thanks.

Perhaps I should relabel the quota with something that might help a returning member understand what they need to do. e.g. "To Renew Membership Ask Admin".

I will think again about what attributes to give the quota.

I have set up Kickbox so that accounts with invalid email addresses are sent to a "Kickbox fails" quota.

What happens when a member tries to login to their account, after the account has been moved?

Can a member reopen an account after the email address is identified as invalid by Kickbox?

My hope is that they will see a message that explains that they need to enter a new, valid email address, and then enter their existing password.

Where can I set this up, or check the settings?

When updating my account details, as regular user, I am forced to reset my password

Using Jamroom

Thanks.

I think this means that the password fields are best designated as "not required" in the settings (updating) form, because their basic function in that form is to provide a way for the user to change the account password, which should not be required every time other account details are updated.

My next step will be to change the language (field label, and help note), to make it clear that the fields should be used for creating a new password, at sign up or later.

Without this being spelled out, the account holder might imagine that the fields have to be filled in order to change other account details.

The templates are the same in the account signup and settings (updating) forms, but for signup, the fields are "required".

template: user_passwd1
label = new password
help note = the password should be alphanumeric with at least six characters, including at least one number

template: user_passwd2
label = repeat new password
help note = repeat the password you entered to be sure there are no typos

Using Jamroom

Thanks - exactly so! I have reset to "not required" as per instructions.

Does this setting over-ride the requirement to re-enter our existing password when changing the user email address or password? Or is this requirement hard-wired and not affected by the "not-required" option?

When updating my account details, as regular user, I am forced to reset my password

Using Jamroom

Steps:

1. Logged in as Chief Admin.
2. Went to Account settings
3. Deleted a word in the field for self description, without clicking in any other field.
4. Pressed save changes
5. Was shown red error alert with text: "You forgot to enter your password"

Using Jamroom

Even as Administrator, logged into my own account, I am asked to re-enter my password, when I attempt to change any field other than the email address or password.

This blockage may explain why almost none of my members have been updating their account details. It is very frustrating.
