User System

[Dan]

I'm making a user system that will hopefully be able to be integrated into any script very easily.

What features should it have?
Any other suggestions such as how I should protect the script, etc.

It currently has:

• Registration
  • Option to make user agree to terms or not
  • Option for email verification
• Logging in (and out)
• PM's
  • It marks them read when you view them
  • You can only view ones that are meant for you
  • Sending to one user name (vB allows 5, separated by ;'s)
• Small templating system
• Easy way to make pages for logged in users only
• A couple other functions (like get_user_by('field', 'value') for various purposes)

A view profile page would be very easy..

I'll think about this one.

Captcha for registration
Forgot password
User access levels
Avatars
Poll for logged in users

I'll probably do most or even all of these.

User profiles
Email validation on registration
Options to ban users

I will definitely do these.

Users online aswell and the option that users can change the look of their profile or something like that

I'll think about users online. Can you explain your next part?

so that each user can chosse a colour or even a skin for their profile also the ablity for each other to leave aa comment on each profile would be a nice feature

Option to choose use of cookies or session support

Dan, are you going to support multilingual template?

Option to choose use of cookies or session support

I'm trying to work on a better way to be logged in now. It already has sessions AND cookies, but I need a better way and a more secure way.

Dan, are you going to support multilingual template?

I could That wouldn't be hard at all, so I'll probably add it.

Another Idea would be that each user has ther own user folder, ie yoursite.com/username or username.yoursite.com

Well, You should make it easy for people to make mods. Really good templating systems. Ability to have a shopping cart. a way you can make downloads; so if you have a free template place you can stick em up and a good way to download them, this could work with music or anything.

attachments in pm's is another

So how is it going? Its been a little while now.

 

[Dan]

I've done registering, logging in, forgot password, captcha, PM's, and a shopping cart. I haven't been working on it this whole time, but I edit it every now and then. I'll start working on it again more now that you brought this back up. All it really needs is a better templating system and it really could be used.

Is there a demo so far we can look at?

Thanks

 

[Dan]

I'm working on it on my computer, so as of now, there is no demo for you to look at. It isn't "pretty" and if you saw it, you wouldn't think it was impressive. I'll show a demo soon, though, when I fix it up a bit.

 

[chicker]

Sounds interesting I cannot wait to see it latter
