I am considering allowing users to post to my site without having them register or provide any identifying information. If each post is sent to a db queue and I then manually screen these posts, what sort of issues might I run into? How might I handle those issues? tia ...
The website Domain Daily provides a list of new domain names. I have a client who would like to implement similar functionality in-house, for semi-real-time tracking of new registrations, but doesn't know how to go about it. Instinctively, I'd be thinking some sort of service interacting with DNS, WHOIS, or maybe even becoming an offic...
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 (on Windows 2003 Server / 32 bit) to compile a library and after the DLL is produced the "Custom Build Step" -> "General" executes a command line: regsvr32 /s /c "($TargetPath)" which generates the exception: An unhandled win32 exception occurred in regsvr32.exe [212].

Recently I've tried to solve several different issues with CoRegisterClassObject (because its introduction on MSDN looks pretty nice) - unfortunately it never works for me.

I have created the necessary manifests for my COM server DLL and a client application to work registration-free in Windows XP. I've tested all kinds of combinations (with and without a registration) and in all cases the client application sees the side-by-side version of the library if the manifests are present, and the registered one i...
I'm wondering about best practices for user registration. I'm leaning towards storing site registrations in a separate registrations table and then once the signup has been confirmed by email transferring the data over to the users table. The benefit to this would be that reads from the users table are not cluttered with never activate...
I am developing an online site to which access will be sold at college bookstores. Students will purchase a card at the bookstore with an access code that they may then use to register online at our site. I want to make the code as user friendly as possible.

Applications often have registration keys. It can arguably be placed in a file or in the registry. Sometimes, an application is deactivated by entry of another key, or the passing of a date, etc. Where can one safely store such information about an application be deactivated? A file isn't the answer; a backup copy can be restored to d...

The module is set up with form completion events in such a way that a user gets redirected to paypal and on completion of payment a user gets created and an email is sent out. I also have it set up so that an email gets sent out on completion of payment, just to te...

This question can be broken up into a couple of parts: What is the best way to create a registration key for a product in PHP (ie. a person purchases a PHP program and after payment receives an activation key) I want to be able to store the registration keys on my server (Joomla) and associate the key with my existing users. Then the P...

Right now when the user logs in I save the user ID, the username, a randomly generated session ID and the hashed and salted password for future authentication. I'm not sure if I should be...
In Django-Registration it says you can save a custom profile when you save a user. But I have no idea what the documentation is asking me to do. Here is what they say: "To enable creation of a custom user profile along with the User (e.g., the model specified in the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting), define a function which knows how to cre...

I've written an application and I'd like to add a registration key/serial number to it (I'm big on minimum inconvinience - ala #4 at this Eric Sink article). My question is about where to store the "activation" once the application has been registered. As I understand it, I have a trade-off between storing the key in a public place, wher...
