Hi, I'm trying to set up my UBB.threads (version 6.0) by pre-registering members *without* the email notification stating 'someone from such an IP has registered you'.
The reason being, is I'm trying to port all my members over from integrated phpNuke (bbtoNuke)forums, and there is no convertor, so I'm having to do it by hand.
I don't want emails being sent to existing members which could confuse them, I'd rather the port work seamlessly without any bother to the members.
I cannot find a setting which turns off the email notification..or at least, changes the wording so a better explanation could be worded.
Any ideas?
(if someone knows how to port over the Version 2.0.6 of PHP-Nuke Port by Tom Nitzschner © 2002 www.toms-home.com forums to UBB threads, obviously that would be a better option)

*phew* sounds like a lot of work. Are you on a shared server or dedicated?

I guess it would be shared.
I hire shellspace so yeah, shared right?

Is "6.0" the exact version, or is it a newer one?

Ok, I'll see if I still have a backup of that version so I can see how you'd hack out the email notification. Since this is a new install, I would have thought you'd be using the current version, 6.3.

Thankyou Dave. I'd used my 6.0 before for forums and was comfortable using it, but then tried the phpNuke thing because it was integrated, but now I'd like to go back to ubb, but I sending out emails then was ok as new members were signing up.

Apologies for the awful English there, tired couple of days. I've actually sent you an email via your website, after following the link in your signature.

[6.0]

adduser.php

Look for:

<pre>// -------------------------------------
// Now we need to mail them the password
if ( ($Username) && ($Email) ) {
$to = $Email;
$header = $mailer -> headers();
$subject = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_SUB']} {$config['title']}";
$msg = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY1']} '$ip' {$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY2']} \"$Username\".
{$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY3']} \"$pass\". ";
if ($config['userreg']) {
$msg .= $ubbt_lang['NEEDAPPROVAL'];
}
mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);
</pre>

Comment-out the mail() call:

//mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);

This will suppress the email sent to a new member containing his username and password.

I'm assuming that you don't have registration approval turned on, as that would cause an additional email to be sent when an admin approves the registration.

Disclaimer: Hacking the scripts is not supported, etc.
