Much appreciated, thanks.

I use BoP5's change registration page URL mod. Can I easily modify this to go to the new registration page URL?

I'm not familiar with how that mod works. You'll have to try it. If anything it may just be a matter of changing when certain hooks execute.

It just renames register.php and changes a bunch of links to it to point to the new filename. Reduces spam registrations which automatically access register.php on vbulletin forums. So if this redirects to register.php, it isn't compatible with that mod, sadly.

I imagine you just go through the files and look for register.php and change it to whatever you changed the filename to

Yes - in particular in the hooks directory - newreply_post_complete, newreply_start, newthread_post_complete, newthread_start

I installed the mod on V4.2.2 and really like it. Everything worked fine as far as I could tell.

Only one issue I had though which is important to me and perhaps will be for others:

On our site the first 5 posts a new member makes go into moderation for approval. Using this mod, all a new member has to do is post, register as directed and the post they made is posted by-passing the moderation requirement. If they make a second post that one goes to moderation for approval. It is just whatever someone types as a first post is automatically posted which in our case opens the door to trolls. Otherwise, very nice mod and I hope you can fix this issue.

Glad you like it! Are new users put into a different usergroup other then registered that has new posts set to moderate or is another mod doing this?

After signing up, newbies are placed in a group titled "New Members". The permissions in that group are set to require all posts being moderated. After 5 posts they are auto promoted to the group "Registered Members" where posts are not moderated. - Thanks.

I see - Is the ID of the "New Members" group 4? See what happens if you set "Follow Forum Moderation Rules" to No for "Unregistered / Not Logged In"

[Justinphx]

Actually I use group 2 for "New Members". Both that and "Unregistered/Not Logged In" are set to No for follow forum moderation rules. So that isn't working... hmmmm

oops, I meant 2 not 4. But yeah, I just checked and the mod isn't accounting for that moderation setting. It only places posts into the moderation queue after registration if the post is detected as spam by the stock system. Maybe in a future version I'll account for that setting.

For the people that have it installed, what do you think so far?
