The NewSignupPage extension enhances MediaWiki's default signup page, Special:CreateAccount, by requiring users to check a checkbox stating that they've read and understood the site's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
In addition to that, the extension is compatible with Social tools .
If a wiki's admins choose to give out points for recruiting new users, set $wgRegisterTrack
to true (and make sure that user_register_track
table exists on that wiki's database beforehand!) and you're done.
Currently, the extension is configured to link to ShoutWiki's privacy policy and terms of use.
To personalize it for your wiki, you need to set $wgNewSignupPageToSURL
and $wgNewSignupPagePPURL
(for example $wgNewSignupPageToSURL = "URL to ToS";
).
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
NewSignupPage
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/NewSignupPage - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'NewSignupPage' );
- If you set
$wgRegisterTrack = true;
, you need to create theuser_register_track
table in your database; you can do this from command line withphp maintenance/sql.php extensions/NewSignupPage/user_register_track.sql
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
User rights
This extension adds a new user right, bypasstoscheck
, which by default isn't given to any group. Users with this right can create new accounts without checking the "I accept the site's Terms of Service" checkbox.
User points
$wgUserStatsPointValues['referral_complete']
— Set this to something to give out points for referring a new user successfully to the site.
Customizing checkbox message
This extension adds a new checkbox in Special:CreateAccount (right below the Remember my login on this computer checkbox).
You can edit the text for this checkbox by editing the system message in MediaWiki:Newsignuppage-loginform-tos
.
