 Topic: Registration details
Posted: 27 September 2007 at 4:02pm |
Is there any way to force a new member to give their Real Name in the registration process.
We are operating a forum for a girls football team and we need to be sure who is registering on the Forum.
Thanks

you would need to edit the register.asp page and make the value >4 or what you want it to be

Why the value has to be >4? Please explain to me better, because I want to do that for the sex fields and date of birth, but that those fields are checked before sending the form and in case they have not been filled out that it returns a mistake or alert warning asking that the same fills out.
Thank you for any help.
Marcelo.

sorry the value doesnt have to be 4.
i was not thinking correct then it needs to be greater than >2.
else you can have aa or bd tc and be allowed.
you just need ot make sure they have a value, you can see the javascript form validation from within the register.asp file and all you need to do is ediot that javascript, duplicating parts .

Hello again,
I did different, to open the file registro.asp and I increased some lines the more in the same, where I show that these fields are obligatory (*) and to insert a validation through javascript for the following fields: Real name, Location, Sex(Gender), Date of Bithdate and Profession, and until the present moment is working that it is a marvel.
Respectfully,
Marcelo Arruda.

I think the OP was asking about a way to ensure that it was the real name of a person - not asking how to make it a required field.
The only way to really ensure that people are who they say they are is to require all registrations be approved before allowing posting or other permissions. Then send them an email requesting additional information that would allow you to vet the registration applications.
What additional information you require would vary from situation to situation. My wife has a forum with sections restricted to people who have attended a specific class, so she vets a forum membership application (sign-up) against her class lists. The email they get when they sign up explains what's going to happen and it's posted on the sign up page.

What I'm really trying to do is make sure that people enter a 'realname' - we can then check that they should be allowed onto the forum. If we don't recognise the name we won't allow access. The problem is that people keep registering with only a username which doesn't always tell us a lot. The forum is for a young girls football club and so we have to be very careful who logs on...
If anyone has any code examples of how to do it I would appreciate it.
I've looked at REGESTER.ASP but the realname section is separate from the other required fields.... 
Thanks everyone...
