How invitation work

Hi, if I set my website to invitation only... how does it work???

it is only admin that can send invitation... and how he can do it???

thx

thats funny i just asked the same question not but 3 messages after u LOL. Let me know if yu get an answer..

In invitation mode, invites are supposed to use a special link provided when the member uses the [edit] (in the footer menu) "invite a friend" page link.

Ok so here is the problem.... If i want that signup is disabled... and only admin OR moderator can send invitation link... OR only moderator or admin can create manually each user account.... because i want to use dolphin as a Union website for my job... but we wont that boss, media(tv radio newspaper jerk) or spam to be able to create account.... so we need to manage and create one by one each account for each employee... so the signup button should not exist in our case...

so how can i do that with dolphin??

thx

so there is no solution or mod for this???

Here is a simple solution to lock down the tellfriend.php script.  Move the script into a subdirectory (it is currently in the root of the site).  Now you can use Page Access Control to block regular members from accessing the tellfriend.php script based on its directory. 

Also, If you are using Apache webserver, you can also use .htacess and a password file to password protect the directory.  The nice thing about the .htaccess password protection is that you don't have to have special membership levels, the password file will hold the users and their password (encrypted) and only those users can access the directory.

There is a principal call KISS; keep it simple stupid. :-).  Simple solutions are often better than complex ones.

ok cool this is a solution ;)

but what about admin to create manually user account... it is possible??

thx

To create Accts manually from Admin, use Mluti Admin Mod which I found very very valuable because not only I can manually create Accts from Admin, but I can give certain Moderators to maintain for instance only Blogs & Forums, and others to maintain Events etc.. without giving them access to the whole Admin Panel..

Just got the Mod about 2 wks ago, I think it will be very useful in your situation, here is the link:

Hope this helps..

ok??? but what's the point with the discussion... i talk about create REGULAR user manually not ADMIN user... are you sure your not using this post to promote your new mod?

I have a similar situation in which only members with a Staff membership level can create an account for a new member. There is no access to creating a new account by an average joe. To do so, I just created a custom php form with the fields I wanted to be filled in when creating an account, and used the page access control to display this block to only members with Staff priveledges.

ok thx a lot i will try this one
