creating an account

[jamieyg3]

I have a database for logins, and I want to have a create account button, so people can create a username and password.

so I get them to type in their info and I send a msg to the extension I made but it's not going through... is that because the user is not logged in yet? and if so what's the best way to get around this? php?

Thanks.

Setup a separate Zone for registration.
In that Zone you put a single room with the "Limbo" attribute turned on
Join the user as guest there
Perform the registration
Logout the user
Login the user to the game Zone with its new credentials

Btw: we're releasing a tutorial on this next month

Alternative:
use the embedded web-server to perform the registration. The server can run Java and Python servlet, so if you're familiar with those you can easily create dynamic web pages that can also interact directly with SFS and its extensions.

Can you please point me to this tutorial? What's it called? I cannot seem to find it.

Is this still the best way to handle a registration system?

Thanks.
