Email Validation

Email Validation (based on emailval.js v0.2 by tracker1) is a simple script that, when enabled, requires a user to validate their email address by entering a validation code that the system has e-mailed to them.

Upon successful validation, the user's security level is updated, allowing for more access privileges.

Install

Set email_validation = true in the [logon] section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file.

Configure

The e-mail validation module supports the following configuration options in the [emailval] section of the ctrl/modopts.ini file:

Option Default Description
valid_chars ACDEFHJKLMNPQRTUVWXY23456789!@#$%&* Valid characters to use in generated validation codes
code_length 16 Length of generated validation codes
level_before_validation 50 Security level of unvalidated users
level_after_validation 60 Security level of validated users
flags1_after_validation no change Flags (from flags set 1) to give, add-to, or remove-from validated users
flags2_after_validation no change “ ” (from flags set 2)
flags3_after_validation no change “ ” (from flags set 3)
flags4_after_validation no change “ ” (from flags set 4)
exemptions_after_validation no change Exemptions to give, add-to, or remove-from validated users
restrictions_after_validation no change Restrictions to give, add-to, or remove-from validated users
expiration_after_validation false If true, leave or extend the user account expiration date. If false, set validated users to not expire
expiration_days_after_validation no change If expiration_after_validation = true, the days to extend the user's expiration date, once validated

Note:
The flags, exemptions, and restrictions .ini values support 'A' through 'Z' with the optional '+' (add) and '-' (remove) modifiers.
e.g. “+A-B” to add the A flag and remove the B flag
e.g. “AB” to change the flag set to just “AB”

Numeric values are supported for assignment (not modification).
e.g. 0 = no flags, 1 = A, 2 = B, 4 = C, 8 = D, etc.
