New Users auto redirect to page

[mapleblade]

when a new users join, they will get redirected to a newbie page, they cannot leave, until they click the button: i understand, or something like that, its also usefull for guiding the newbies



first off run this mysql query:

PHP Code:


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `adopts_users` (
  `uid` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `username` varchar(20) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `password` varchar(200) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `email` varchar(60) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `usergroup` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `newmessagenotify` varchar(10) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `membersince` varchar(20) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `isbanned` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `tradeforbidden` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `pmstatus` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `tradestatus` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `website` varchar(80) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `profilepic` varchar(80) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `aim` varchar(80) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `yahoo` varchar(80) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `msn` varchar(80) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `money` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `friends` varchar(500) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `theme` varchar(20) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `avatar` varchar(120) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `profile` varchar(500) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `color` varchar(20) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `about` varchar(200) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `favpet` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `gender` varchar(10) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `nickname` varchar(40) COLLATE latin1_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `newmember` int(11) DEFAULT '1',
  PRIMARY KEY (`uid`),
  UNIQUE KEY `username` (`username`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ; 


Then go to register.php, replace

PHP Code:

runquery("INSERT INTO {$prefix}users VALUES ('', '$username', '$pass1','$email','3','1', '$date', '0', '0' ,'0','0','','','','','', '{$GLOBALS['settings']['startmoney']}','','','$avatar', '', '', '', '0', 'Unknown', '')"); 


with:

PHP Code:

runquery("INSERT INTO {$prefix}users VALUES ('', '$username', '$pass1','$email','3','1', '$date', '0', '0' ,'0','0','','','','','', '{$GLOBALS['settings']['startmoney']}','','','$avatar', '', '', '', '0', 'Unknown', '', '1')"); 


Then go to functions.php, at the very ENDING (not after the ?>)put this code:

PHP Code:

if($isloggedin == "yes"){

$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$GLOBALS['prefix']."users WHERE username='".$GLOBALS['loggedinname']."'";

$result = mysql_query($query);

$newbie=@mysql_result($result,0,"newmember");

if($newbie == 1 & $newbiepage != 1){

header( 'Location: /newbie.php' ) ;

}

} 


And place the newbie.php in your root of your adoptables folder (where everything is)

the newbie.php is kinda clean atm, its up to you to customize it, but just keep the code intact.

So xD I did this add on however it didnt work instead now every page to my site is a blank white screen, So I tryed to revert to old renewed the 2 phps that got edited however that doesnt work im assumeing its the mysql and I never had that saved?

Or a answer as to why it did that D:


~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok figured out why it was blank however its still messed up register
Do I need to find a way to replace mysql users table?

[mapleblade]

maybe the script is interfering with other scripts wich use the user table, if so, add a new row called newmember (int 1) with default 1, and adding an , '' at the end of the register query.

That seemed not to change nothing im assuming something somewhere is off as not even reseting passwords will work
