Hi,
I am a newbie but very much impressed with SMF. I've installed it and am planning to modify it to accommodate a bit more "personal" data in order to allow it to function as a basic Alumni Database.
I'd like to restrict certain areas (or even registration) to users with a certain email address (e.g. user that have emails @certain_domain.com). I know it is possible to hard-code this into the SMF code, however, I was wondering whether it could be implemented as a sort of "filter" (similar to the ban options just that you want to allow instead of ban certain domains/IPs
thanks, I appreciate your help,
Mischa
I think I'll wait a bit before I hardcode the feature into my board. Until then I@ll use member groups. However, I found that IU cant simultaneously enable multiple users to view only certain part to the forum. neither can i select accessible forums in the member group configuration as they are all grayed out.
any help is very much appreciated -- i'll post agin if i figure something out...
ciao,
Mischa Altmann
Well if you want this as a future feature, try requesting it at "Feature Requests".
You can easily add a bit of code to your forum to get that result, something lke this to the registration file.
<?php
// Function to put everything after the @ into an variable called $email.
if ($email == "certain_domain.com")
{
echo "Error";
exit;
}
?>
Tomer where would you suggest I put this?
I have a forum where I need to restrict access to a specific government domain for registration. No address no can access.
