Hello,

In our DNN v2.1 site, we adapted the core of DNN to allow to "really" validate an address email filled in the registration form (not only checking an expected "good" format with a regular expression) : every time a member modifies his email in the registration form, the customized profile module sends him a validation email to its new address email, the former address being kept in the database as long as the user does not click the link in the body of the message received on his new mailbox.

This principle avoids security issues, to our mind :  by changing its email in its user profile, a member may enter an erroneous address but an existent adress of of another Internet user, which may obtain possible confidential information ; for instance,  with the password reminder on the login page, the password may be send to another Internet user.

We would like to have the same feature with DNN v4.8. But the DNN core strongly evolved, and its registration form / user profile code is now very powerful but rather difficult to customize. However, this kind of email confirmation is done for new user registration, isn't it ?

Would anybody have an interesting "light" solution ?

Regards

I would disagree 4.8.x is difficult to customize, it just takes a bit of time to find what does what, more options means more flexibility, but of course more things to look at.

All the magic happens under:
Admin/User Accounts/manage Profile Properties
Admin/User Accounts/User settings
Admin/Advanced Settings/Security Settings/User Registration.

I would stick with the latest version of DNN 4.8.4, it's worth the time and effort. I hope this post persuades you.

Dave,

sure the core will be happy for any contribution, it will be reviewed for security and needs to meet the architecture principles and direction. For any contribution going beyond fixes to be  integrated, you need to sign a contributors agreement passing over copyright to DotNetNuke Corp.
