Suggestion: Welcome newest member issue...

[neal007]

I have noticed when a new person signs up, who requires e-mail verification, and subsequent moderation, they show up as the newest member yet they are still awaiting e-mail verification! The newest member should be showing the newest person that is registered, moderator, or higher. Not someone that is awaiting validation.

2.2.1

Thanks!

P.S. Why can't I post to the bugs forum?

the vb devs determine if a problem you are having is a bug. if they decide it's a bug then they move your thread to the bugs forum.

This is a very easy 'fix'.

Open index.php and find, around about line 38:


$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user');


Change that line to: (the change is marked in red)


$numbersmembers=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS users,MAX(userid) AS max FROM user WHERE usergroupid!=3');


This will ignore users who are in the 'Users Awaiting Email Confirmation' usergroup and will not include them in neither the 'Welcome to our newest member' nor in the total number of members.

Thanks. It's not really something I need to dive in and fix, it's just something I noticed and a "suggestion" for future vB if you all think it's worthwhile

one possible problem is you'll get email from the new member who has yet confirmated his account saying why his username isn't listed as a new member and that person might try signing up a second, a third or even 4th time thinking he didn't sign up properly
