    Adds a "How did you discover this forum" question to the application form and saves it to the database. The response is emailed to applicable administrators along when the application is complete. The administrator can then also review this information when approving (or declining) the applicant.

    The July 1st update included a number of big changes, but most importantly it fixed the problem which caused single-quotes to be double-escaped.

    I would like this module a lot more if you could choose what question to ask...

    For example, I use my forum as a forum for my friends at high school. Instead of asking this, I'd like to ask "How do we know you are who you say you are?".

    Open up the default.php file and change this:

    $Context->Dictionary["HowDidYouFindUs"] = "Why do you want to join this forum?";

    to this

    $Context->Dictionary["HowDidYouFindUs"] = "How do we know you are who you say you are?";

    I figured that out :)

    But the module should give an option of your own text...

    After upgrading to Vanilla 1.1.1, the Applicant Discovery extension throws this error when a user submits their application.Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/mallow00/public_html/cogsi/extensions/Discovery/default.php on line 122 I'd look into it but I'm hopeless at object oriented PHP as of yet, I'm really hoping to learn more and contribute to Vanilla. If I can't, I'll try my hand at some themeing since I know I can do that :) By the way, is there any way to turn off those ugly errors that display the path?

    Hurray, I fixed it. I changed line 122 of Discovery/default.php from GetUrl($this->Context->Configuration, 'settings.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=Applicants') to GetUrl($UserManager->Context->Configuration, 'settings.php', '', '', '', '', 'PostBackAction=Applicants') Come to think of it, I stopped getting "New User Application" emails after I installed the Discovery extension even before Vanilla 1.1.1, maybe it was broken even earlier? Anyway, emails work and no more errors. Hope this helps someone.

    Nice find!

    I fixed it and uploaded a new version. I'm surprised that it works here on the community forum. Weird.

    Mark,
    I'm running the Applicant Email Verification extension, I would like to use your Applicant Discovery extension also. The "where the user found us" information is sent in the accept/deny email that we no longer get because of the auto accept. Is there a way to send the user response to another location other than the accept/deny email (other than shutting auto accept off)? Saving the how they found the forum info in the user account, but visible to the admin(s), would be great. Or, sending the info in an email other than the accept/deny user email.

    I'm a little confused by all that. Are you just looking to keep the applicant discovery information visible once people have been confirmed as members?

    Yeah, that would be cool -- to be able to see the reason a person joined, after the fact. Maybe making it so that only admins can see the reason or something?
  13.  # 13
    Oh. Well I had Mark change the extension so it does exactly that on this forum...I'm not sure what code he changed though and I dont think he released the update. I cant imagine it being too hard though...probably just a matter of removing or changing an if statement..

    Mini's spot on.

    I think you could get this by changing line 41 as so:
    if ($this->User->RoleID == 0 && $this->User->Discovery != '' && $this->Context->Session->User->Permission('PERMISSION_APPROVE_APPLICANTS'))

    Any chance we can have an update to this with the following added feature:
    - creates a page in settings panel with usernames and reasons given for signing up side by side.

    |username |: reason|
    ?

    Just like a little thing so admins can go back and see why the user origionally wanted to join.

    Why not add the info to the user account page, but with visibility permissions-based? That's how I would do it.

    timfire:

    I'd like to see over-view for the reasons given by all my members for signing up rather than clicking on every profile (approx 170 members).

    I origionally thought the same about having reasons in the profile but it wouldnt suite my needs to be honest.

    Could this be adapted so that I could ask more than one question?

    You could edit the dictionary definition for the text that's displayed above the textbox (look towards the top of the extension's default.php). As for multiple textboxes; that would be a bit more involved.

    Yes. I edited the dictionary definitions already. I tried for the multiple text boxes and messed it all up a bit.
    That's what I would like to do though.
    I'm going to keep messing with it. If I figure it out, I'll post it. If someone else who has much greater skills than I would like to give some hints, man, I would be so happy!

    Is it possible to display the information provided by the user on his/her account page?
  26.  # 26
    How can I add this field to the accounts page to allow it to be changed when a user goes to his/her account tab?
