This project started as a fork of nodebb-plugin-newuser-approval by pichalite. I have since detached the fork because the plugins no longer have anything in common.

Thanks! I accept payment in cash, krugerrands, and single malt scotch. Preferably the later.

Probably be a good idea to fire off a msg if the person hasnt been invited, if you register and you arent in the list, it will just stick there at the register page with a dimmed register button, notice would be good saying you must be invited or something along those lines

yariplus

@chrismccoy Thanks!

I checked it and an alert does pop up for me. What version of nodebb are you using?

yariplus

Looks like this for me.

chrismccoy

using 0.7.1 dev

yariplus

@chrismccoy hmm, what theme are you on?

I tested v0.7.1-dev with persona and lavender and they worked for me.

chrismccoy

ya works now thanks, also curious can you invite multiple users at once? got about 50 users i need to invite from a wordpress install

yariplus

@chrismccoy BAM!

CSV now accepted in the E-mail field.

chrismccoy

Is this working with version 8.0?

Would be awesome if this plugin will ha e the option to give users certain amount of invitations. Just like gmail or other apps have done in its early days. So, that way througth user profile you could see the amount of invitations you have and invite friends to the forum.

The admind could be the one capable of creating new invitations for the users.

Just an idea. Great work with this yariplus.

@jarey That sounds really cool.

Wow, thanks! That's a great idea. I actually stopped pushing updates to this once they started adding invitations to core NodeBB. A feature like that would really separate the plugin from core functionality. Definitely something I'll be looking into.

Just tested and everything seems to be working great. I'll update the compatibility string.

tfraley

Can you send an invitation even if the forum is not locked down?

yariplus

@tfraley Hmm, no not at the moment, I'll fix that asap.
