Hi all,

Feel like I may be re-inventing the wheel, maybe this exisits somewhere already. I want to make a script that will validate a new user via email sending them a code. Does one of these exists some where or anyone have any pointers?

Thanks,
John

I think Mystic does this out of the box now?

Cheers!

any pointers?

+ New menu command: -V (Validate e-mail address). This function will send
a code to the user's e-mail address and then prompt them to enter it on
the BBS. Upon entering the code successfully, the "OV" ACS command will
begin to report true. If the optional data field contains a security level
Mystic will also update the user's security profile. The OV ACS can also be
used in order to perform any number of actions if validation is successful.

New prompts have been added to support this: #547-#552. You will need to
add these if you have custom themes.

This is from the whatsnew.txt of Mystic, there you go.

Cheers!

As Stackfault has pointed out it does this out of the box, I added an option on my prelogin.mnu in the first commands which says the following:

Command: -V
Data 20
Access: s10!s15

What it does is pop up the validate by email on anyone who has access level of less then 20 the s10!s15 means anyone with access level 10 to 15. If they meet those requirements then it will pop up the message to validate their email. If they have 20 or above then never see it..

Hope that helps...
