XF 1.1 limit registration to certain e-mail accounts

[erich37]

I would like to hinder users from registering at my forum using e-mail-accounts like Gmail.com or Yahoo.com
Is there a way to set this in the ACP-options? How to do this properly?

I would also like to add a text underneath the "e-mail-field" at the Registration-page saying "We do not allow registrations using Gmail.com or Yahoo.com accounts...."

How and where to add this text?


Many thanks!

ACP Search: email

Ban the email accounts or domains as required.

Edit the register_form template to add your text.
Replace the email section with this:

<dl class="ctrlUnit">
        <dt><label for="ctrl_email">{xen:phrase email}:</label></dt>
        <dd><input type="email" name="email" value="{$fields.email}" dir="ltr" class="textCtrl" id="ctrl_email" />
        <p class="explain">Your text here.</p></dd>
</dl>

Replace Your text here. as required.

Hi Brogan,

I have searched for "email" in ACP, but could not find a way of how to block user-registrations when users are using an Email-service like "gmail.com" or "hotmail.com", etc.
Could you please give me some further instructions of how to do this?

Many thanks!

Users -> Banned Emails -> Email to Ban: *@gmail.com

 

[erich37]

sorry to bother you again, Brogan.

would this rather be
*@gmail.com

or

*gmail.com

why would there be a "dot" in front of the domain?

 

[Paul B]

Yes, my mistake.

It should be *@gmail.com

Thanks a lot!

Hey what Brogan has showed helps a lot. But is there a way to only allow registration for certain email domains, rather than having to disallow everything.

Badly explained my point, but what I am looking for is only allowing people from inside the company to register eg. only people with ***@somecompany.com and **@somesimilarcompany.com to be allowed to create an account?

You will need a custom mod for that.

You will need a custom mod for that.

Would you know any that will do this?

No. But you can put in a request at the Request Add on forum and see if there will be anyone willing to code this for you.

 

[Exote]

Never mind, I will see if I can slide some regex into the email validation when they register. If not, as you said, I will put in a request.

Users -> Banned Emails -> Email to Ban: *@gmail.com

Can i limit user registration email to @gmail.com,@yahoo.com and @mail.ru. ? expect all another mail service.

No, it's not possible to whitelist, only blacklist.
