I installed it on a clean site. Well you may have fixed the login issue but now I need to actually access the system ;) Maybe just declaring a super user is not enough. Don't just rely on me though there should be feedback from others who have tried it and then they can say if it worked for them? Can't be just me that has used this?

Thank you for the heads up about installing. I changed the code to what you gave but it does not work. I cannot access anything. The left menu only reads "Logout".   I tied logging out and then log back in which it did allow this time but the left menu is still disabled and I cannot access anything. You may want to test it out thoroughly on a test environment and work out all the quirks first and then when you think it is correct I can check it out again for you.

What is the standard procedure to install these .nwp files manually?

Wish I could test it but I had already deleted it off the system and you don't have it in the market.

Since NWE system relies so heavily on the database there should be a button to easily backup all tables before you make changes. The backup should just copy all tables and probably put a prefix to the appended name. To be fancy there can be a show as to when the last backup was made.

Also in Admin Panel it says checked and verified so the blinking image does not need to be there if there is a script already checking this.

Seems like 2 tries and your are locked out although I don't know if that was a glitch related to the verify mod. There should be some kind of indication to the user though of how many tries left before they are locked out so they don't flippantly try to login and be more careful. Also an indication of time left like a count down as I have seen in the jail mod.

Then maybe for now instead of a deleted account the account can be made 'blanket' or in other words the email is removed and other stats changed by admin so it appears with none of the custom alterations the former User had and substituted with a generic one - that is really the main thing most Users are concerned with, however this approach can lead to an accumulation of dormant user accounts.

Another question. Does NWE already have an army system or module that allows you to buy x number of men to form an army? I am guessing the idea of clans in the system is to create an army of real players rather than 'buy' an army.. correct?

I will just run a query when I need to do this.

Yes I confirmed the issues I mentioned before. Did a clean install went back to this mod and those issues came back unless it is a conflict with something else I will leave it out for now.

Thank you for the heads up but I guess if i manually add that to a module and the module is updated then it is overwritten not so? i will have to think of something more global.

Does NWE allow you to assign a group to certain features? For instance a Premium member can use the forum or messages but not a regular user?

That might be a good mod for someone - Dethrone the clan master and take over. ;) My interest is only in simple delete because the user needs it done, I doubt at that time they would care about clans or forum posts. However to answer, I guess deleted member messages can appear as "guest" messages and clan be left as is and Admin can appoint another *shrug*

It installs the file under the verify_email folder under modules.

Thanks for your questions. Sometimes a User wants to be completely removed from a site, it is only ethical that you do so if not even mandatory legally, in fact they should even be able to do so themselves if they want to or whatever reason. Sure I can run a query to do this, my point here was I just thought that it was already built in NWE and I was just missing it from Admin because I did not know where to locate it. As for what I mean by "delete" - Just delete their account from database, nothing more.

Well this is what I am used to: 1. Files it modifies 2. What it does to database In other words a simple how to undo this mod will enable me to debug. Once I know that I can resolve it myself. I was trying to ask for this information before. I guess I have been over at SMF too long where everything is so well documented. I could spend a lot of time digging and experimenting with mods since there is no documentation for them but this will delay the opening of my game even longer. Thanks for your follow as always Kyle.

Kyle you do great PR with NWE, at least you do know how to communicate. I do understand what you mean and can well understand that if this was open source, but since it is paid you just expect certain basic things are there that you cannot know until you start investigating the full license. So far my main interest is not about the bells and whistles... I have tested the features and it does what i want I have only made suggestions about the elements of control and information, the fancy features comes later when I decide to modify things. What concerns me is the lack of control over the membership, just a simple login is not enough for any membership system. Verification of Email, being able to delete a user and those things I would have thought were standard and not based on a personal preference but in this case not.

There seems to be more wrong with this mod after testing: 1. Uncommented but still cannot access anything. 2. A user that has not been verified and tries to login will be shown as though he is logged in but does not actually see the player panel but the login page. Then when he tries to login again you get "trials" page. I don't want to debug this now so early in my fingering.

Again there is no official documentation on this. It could be just removed altogether. What is the purpose of a blinking message anyway? Just to tell visitors you have a license? Should be just a simple link. Then if someone feels they need to check on that they can click on it. Loading images from an external source can provide unnecessary details too and privacy ethics.

Kyle you are too kind but I was not requesting this as a mod, however I was not asking this for to be done I was actually surprised it isn't part of the basic system and I missed it somehow. I mean in any script of membership there must be a way of totally deleting a member just as there is to let one in.

I think "trials" means "tries" but in any case it is two tries and you are kicked. The default does not tell you how many tries left nor how much time left til 15 mins are over correct?

There is no option for this? Only ban / unban?

Can that be changed to a link? Having that be called up on every page from the NWE server is for me intrusive, I also do not see any terms that it must be pegged to the menu unless I missed it? I understand the need for a control system but being shown once maybe on site entrance should be enough. Update: I notice some themes have just copyright info at the bottom and no blinking image. Then some have the blinking image but no copyright info at the bottom.

You know what, I've read many of the posts here and I have seen you battling with a lot of members some of it can be quite heated at times, now I understand why. Could be culture, could be language difference, could be the lack of understanding through a limited communication interface but it does not matter as I know my purpose in presenting my suggestions and it is not what you presume or assume. Needless to say I'm sure you may have an answer for this too as some love to have the last 'word'. Good luck with that.
