Feedback on RequireRegistrationPlugin

Thanks you very much Byron for sharing this useful plugin with the TWikiCommunity!

This is a very cool plugin. It wouldn't work with TWikiRelease04Sep2004, would it?

This would be a very useful plugin. We set it up on a test machine running 4.1.2. As expected the registration form appeared when a non-registered user went to an authorized page. However after filling out the form and submitting the registration page appears again. Debug did not show anything significant. Why would the registration form be called a 2nd time?

We saw something similar. Internally, we require users to confirm their email address before registration is completed. I found that sometimes users have to restart their browser before the new registration will take effect.

If I get a chance, I will take a look at what the plug-in might be able to do.

Additionally, 4.1.2 configure complains because there is no installer script.

We did a minor adaption of the plugin to only ask users to register when they try to edit a topic. When there is a check for the edit action, we also avoid the problem mentioned by PeterJones above.

Has anyone successfully used this plugin with TWiki v4.2? Even though we get to the registration page, the fields are locked and the message "Sorry, registration has been temporarily disabled," appears. We have all the proper settings in configuration, so we're wondering if anybody else faced the same issue.

Hi all, Thanks to NilsHoeimyr . The modified plugin is working and the registration page is not called twice. I was wondering on how did the modification really work because it primarily checks for edit action. Where is it getting the messages to display for the user?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
