Hi,

I am running the latest stable version of FUDforum. I would like to know, if there is any option of making a user unconfirmed, when he/she changes his/her's email account. All new registrants need to be approved by the admin. Byt after a while, if the user changes the email, i want the account to be unconfirmed until the admin approves the account.

The reason i'm asking this is, we are accepting users only with legitimate email addresses from office/university.
All users with free email accounts are not being approved. So when the user registers with a work email, and the user is approved, we do not want the user to change his email to free email account (example: hotmail, yahoo, gmail).

We have email filters to disallow users to use free accounts like hotmail or yahoo, but these filters are only applied when a user registers for the first time and not when an existing user changes his/her's email?

Can someone shed some light on the above please?

Thanks,

Praveen

You can set the unconfirmed flag via the users_opt bitmask inside users_reg.inc.t if the e-mail address changes and re-execute the delivery of the confirmation e-mail from register.php.t (same code as the one used to update user info).

Hi LLia,

Thanks very much for the reply.

If you have time, can you show me the snippet of the code, where i need to put this condition.

Also, how about the issue regarding the email filter? When the user registers, the email address of the user is parsed through the email filter, but not when the user changes his email address after a while?

Thanks,

Praveen

The e-mail address is validated on every submission.

Hi LLia,

Thanks for the reply.

Indeed, it does do the validation each time. It was my mistake that i messed with the regex definition of the email address in the email filter.

Glad everything works!

Thanks for your help.
