UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support No admin

I have downloaded the trial version of UBB.threads and intalled it on my personal computper which is running an Apache Webserver and MySQL. I've got the program up and running, but the problem is that it won't let me register myself as an admin. At the end of the install process when I click on the new user script and fill in the required info, I receive an error message regarding the inability to locate my SMTP server on port 25. I'm guessing that this is becuase I have no SMTP server running (this is just a test server on my home computer and not connected to the web). I'm also guessing that because I am unable to reply to the verification email that is never being sent, I will not be able to register as anything more than a regular user, which I am now.

I need to view the admin functions so that I may make an informed decision on whether or not to purchase this program. Is there any way to register myself as an admin without the email verification?

Thanks for your help.

I'm not real familiar with the trial version, in the config can you choose to not verify email and let the user pick their own passwords? If so this *might* help.

Rick, Josh?

It does, by default I believe, allows the first user to select their own password. It will still mail confirmation of the registration, but I don't think the email server should kill the process.

Ignoring the error, have you tried visiting your boards and logging in?

If the mail thing is screwing stuff up, you might be able to comment out / remove that option from the adduser.php file.

Not sure if this looks like the trial version. Been over a year since I "tried". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> It might look a little different.

Look for this in adduser.php and remove or comment out:


<pre>// -------------------------------------
// Now we need to mail them the password
if ( ($Loginname) && ($Email) ) {
$to = $Email;
$header = $mailer -> headers();
$subject = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_SUB']} {$config['title']}";
$msg = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY1']} '$ip' {$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY2']} \"$Loginname\". {$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY3']} \"$pass\". ";
if ($config['verify']) {
$msg .= $ubbt_lang['DOVERIFY'] ." {$config['phpurl']}/verifyemail.php?verify=$Uid-$key&Cat=$Cat";
}
elseif ($config['userreg']) {
$msg .= $ubbt_lang['NEEDAPPROVAL'];
}
mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);
}
</pre>
