Require registration from specific e-mail domain

[sstretchh]

I haven't seen this feature yet, I have looked around for it. Does anyone know if there is a MOD that can make it so only certain people from a specific e-mail domains can only registrar ?

If not it would be a nice request if someone can build it if its not already out there. I searched for it before I posted and didn't find anything.

Does anyone else think this is a good idea or not ??

I think is a fantastic idea!

I have also been looking for a way to enable access to a certain board according to their e-mail domain.

for instance if there is a member with a *@hotmail.com and *@yahoo.com they will automatically get access to a "special" board; however, if a user registers with any other email domain (i.e *@gmail.com) they will get access to everything in the forum except the "special" board.

It would be a great mod to add to the permissions area
After reading all over the forum, all that I have found so far is how to forbid certain domains from registering to the forum
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I figure out how to only allow certain domains to register your forum...
Here is what I did in order to only let users register with hotmail, Gmail and yahoo accounts:
in the "Subs-Members.php" I added the following code

"elseif(!(preg_match("/yahoo/i" , $_POST['email'])) && !(preg_match("/gmail/i" , $_POST['email']))&& !(preg_match("/hotmail/i" , $_POST['email'])))
      fatal_error(sprintf($txt[Gdomains], $regOptions['username']), false); "(no quotes)

After the following code:
"fatal_error(sprintf($txt[500], $regOptions['username']), false);  "(no quotes)

then I went to login.english.php and added the following line:

"$txt[Gdomains] = 'only gmail, yahoo and hotmail accounts are allowed.';"(no quotes)
after the following code:

"$txt[500] = 'Please enter a valid email address, %s.';"(no quotes)

Again, I am new at smf but the previous code seemed to work very well for me, I hope it helps someone else.

Thanks for the tip. Note that you can post code using the [code] like so:

Code Select Expand

elseif(!(preg_match("/yahoo/i" , $_POST['email'])) && !(preg_match("/gmail/i" , $_POST['email']))&& !(preg_match("/hotmail/i" , $_POST['email'])))
      fatal_error(sprintf($txt['Gdomains'], $regOptions['username']), false);

Code Select Expand

$txt['Gdomains'] = 'only gmail, yahoo and hotmail accounts are allowed.';

Code Select Expand

$txt[500] = 'Please enter a valid email address, %s.';

Oh, and I fixed the code not to generate errors about undefined constant Gdomains...

Oooops I completely forgot to put the single quotes on Gdomains 
Thanks for being such a diligent individual
I will make sure to use the [code] snippet when I post code...(I had no clue about it)

Flapjack, that is exactly what I needed... I don't know how I missed it in the search 
Oh well... mine is customized to a personalized message 
Thanks for posting the link!

I am loving SMF and you guys rock!

Good to see you got the problem solved.

This won't be a default SMF feature, seeing that it's not really requested and it seems to address a quite particular need.
