Register Option

[TheSnake]

Hi there, How are you guys

I want to ask about HFS, is it possible to put a register option
That allows people to register like in the forums and put the users automatically in the users database

It's hard to input the usernames and passwords of 500 person manually by the admin

I run HFS in a LAN network
Due to download accelerator use in my server I made it requires registration to enter my page and browse it
If I create only one main user, Some of the people who will use it might use download accelerators
And banning the IP don't work efficiently (Because it's easy to change the IP in the LAN)
So I made up my mind to make everyone register with a username + a password
This way I can deactivate the account who violate the rules
It turned out to be hard to make more then 500 person send you a message with a user and pass and create them manually

So is it possible in HFS to make a registration option that asks for Usernames + Passwords + E-Mail Address (And make sure each e-mail has only one user) ?


Can you please help me ?

It's in the todo list but dont expect it to happen anytime soon.

[TheSnake]

My life would be easier if it's available or nearly available

Then bro, is there any other way to solve the download acceleration problem
Even setting Max Downloads By Single IP = 1 has its disadvantages
The program keep panging the PC

HFS has a feature to prevent download accelerators. Just click menu in HFS n go to limits...And enable the prevent leeching option..thats it buddy..Hope it helps...

1. i don't understand what's your policy about accelerators.
what's the problem with menu -> limits -> prevent leeching ?

2. could you describe how you imagine the feature you are asking?

3. FYI, if you are a programmer it's easy to create the accounts by changing hfs.ini

[TheSnake]

1. I used the anti leeching option
but it didn't work fine with me, when the user use download accelerators with more then 1 connection it just hit the PC
I hear sounds coming from my PC, he starts to connect and disconnect rapidly which makes my PC in a misery

2. My vision of what I'm asking is:
To make a feature in HFS to make registration possible
The user press the register button and put his Username + Password + E-Mail
If the username or the E-Mail exist in the database it don't continue
If not it create it in the Accounts Place in HFS
Then the admin manually activate them to browse the site

3.And Rejetto, can you help me with that programing thing
I know only little C++

Thanx For Your Replays

1. is HFS making the sound? you can disable it.
2. ok, so it's only for account creating, then you'll have to manually set the permissions. that's what i wanted to know.
3. the procedure to decode is
a. open hfs.ini
b. go to the "accounts=" line
c. append to the string "login:%s|enabled:yes;" where "username:password" encoded in base64

1. is HFS making the sound? you can disable it.

The sound only appears when someone uses Download Accelerator
The anti leeching option is good and redused the suffer
but still when someone uses accelerators the PCs performance goes down and become slow

2. ok, so it's only for account creating, then you'll have to manually set the permissions. that's what i wanted to know.

When accounts created, it's easy to set the permissions

3. the procedure to decode is
a. open hfs.ini
b. go to the "accounts=" line
c. append to the string "login:%s|enabled:yes;" where "username:password" encoded in base64

I didn't understand C, My line is (accounts=login:Some Random Letters|enabled:yes|no-)
then what should I do ?
Just change it to (login:%s|enabled:yes;") ?

[rejetto]

1. uh? this is strange. are you sure it's HFS making the sound? what version are you using?

3. "append" means that you must attach the stringh to the end of the existing string.
as S = S + T.  I described you how to build T.

[TheSnake]

The sound isn't from HFS
it's from the PC
It's like something is in friction with something else

and about 3
don't know what you mean
How to attach it
I might seem to be a pain in the *** but can you please peer it and tell me how

[rejetto]

1. the PC running HFS or the pc running the accelerator?

3. do you know how to handle strings?

[TheSnake]

1. My PC is running the HFS, and it make sounds when some one uses download accelerator programs with more then 1 connection on my server

3. I took only a beginner course in C++ and my worst nightmare was Strings
So I can't handle them

[rejetto]

1. can you confirm the status of option Menu -> Flash taskbutton -> Also Beep  ? enabled or disabled?

3. sorry i can't help you at such level

[TheSnake]

1. it's disabled, Leave it aside it isn't form the hfs


3. Tell me what is needed, I'll ask some one to help me from my university mates

[rejetto]

1. try to close HFS while it is happening, and see if it continues. If it stops, then it is probably an HFS bug.

3. i already gave you the instructions for a programmer. What do you need?
