Mod Name / Version: User Friendly Registration v1.3
Description: Several new users of my board were really angry about the registration page. There are more than a dozen ways to get an error displayed on a seperate page. If you use the browsers "back"-button, sometimes all of the input is gone and you have to retype Loginname, Displayname and eMail again.
This can happen several times until success:
- if the "I Agree" box is not checked
- if the eMail address is not valid
- if the Login Name is occupied
- if the Display Name is occupied
etc...
Not really user Friendly.
This hack does the following:
- it displays the error messages on the "New user" page
- it highlights the corresponding field
- in case of an error, it keeps the values of several input fields
This hack does NOT support:
- error messages for the "age checking" stuff
- error messages for all the optional fields, except the password field
(see Control Panel » Registration Settings » Registration Screen)
Included are the strings for English, Spanish and German language files.
