Register Restriction

John-Theo

Will these features be implemented in the future?

(Regex) Validation of the register email
Not allow user to view any post if they are not signed in

Use case: I only want users who belong to my company to be able to view and post, and IP allow/deny list maintenance can be a real pain in the ass in my circumstance.

This is definitely possible as an extension

John-Theo Not allow user to view any post if they are not signed in

You could restrict access to members in Permissions

Didn't know I can do that! Thx a lot!

I'm not good at php, does that mean I have to wait for someone to write one? 😅

askvortsov

John-Theo Yes, although it would be quite a simple one.

John-Theo

askvortsov I will see what I can do! Thank you so much!

John-Theo

Final question: do you have some kind of guide or tutorial on how to write and publish custom extensions?

Edit: Sorry, found it here: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/1662-extension-developer-first-read

John-Theo to give a bit more info to help start with this particular Extension:

I'd recommend using the FOF extension skeleton generator. Much easier than creating all the folders and files manually
For the frontend, you'll only need a settings modal for the admin side where people can provide this regex as a setting.
For the backend, you'll need to extend the Validator to change validation rules. https://discuss.flarum.org/d/6507-change-user-validation-rules has an example.

If you run into issues or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! Thats what our community is here for after all 😁
