Sorry, there’s an extra comma in the code I posted.

 $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$modx->getFullTableName("web_user_attributes")." (internalKey, fullname, email, blocked, zip, state, country) 
            VALUES($key, '$fullname', '$email', 1, '$zip', '$state', '$country');";
    $rs = $modx->db->query($sql);

I did what you suggested and got a parse error.

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« Execution of a query to the database failed - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ’1, ’’, ’’, ’’)’ at line 2 »
SQL: INSERT INTO `my_database`.`modx_web_user_attributes` (internalKey, fullname, email, blocked, zip, state, country) VALUES(9, ’username’, ’email address’, ,1, ’’, ’’, ’’);
[Copy SQL to ClipBoard]

Parser timing
MySQL: 0.0020 s (35 Requests)
PHP: 0.0342 s
Total: 0.0362 s

Here’s my changes:

 // save user attributes
    $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$modx->getFullTableName("web_user_attributes")." (internalKey, fullname, email, blocked, zip, state, country) 
            VALUES($key, '$fullname', '$email', ,1, '$zip', '$state', '$country');";
    $rs = $modx->db->query($sql);

Also tried using ’1’, but that allowed the email to get through.

Edit the assets/snippets/websignup.inc.php file and change lines 126 and 127 (the sql query) to initially block the new user:

    $sql = "INSERT INTO ".$modx->getFullTableName("web_user_attributes")." (internalKey, fullname, email, blocked, zip, state, country) 
            VALUES($key, '$fullname', '$email', ,1, '$zip', '$state', '$country');";
    $rs = $modx->db->query($sql);

Note the addition of blocked after email, and setting it to 1 after the $email setting.

Is it possible to make new web users created from the web login to only be activated by the admin. I am getting tons of new users daily who immediately spam the blog comments with links etc. Modx 1.0.4

[[WebSignup? &tpl=`FormSignup` &groups=`Registered Users`]]
