WordPress MU

I've had it with spam blogs. Besides, I really want to limit new blogs to those I specifically invite into the system.

What's the simplest hack for doing this.

I'm sorry, I know i can probably find this by searching, but it's 3:38 a.m. and I've just spent an hour eliminating splogs.

Bumping this up. Thanks.

Actually it's been discussed previously a number of times. I know that Andrea started a plugin to do this and I believe there's something up on wpmudev.org where someone was trying to do this. Not sure if anyone followed through on it or not.

There's the START of a plugin to do something like this. I saw one thread that detailed a bunch of different hacks, and I found the instructions to be a tad unclear.

I love WPMu and all and appreciate all the hard volunteer work behind it ... but you would think this would be a feature, and not require a hack or plugin.

You could add (through hooks) a field for a special registration code, and make it a required field.

Something like this isn't really even complicated, although depending on how extravagant you want to get it could take a lot of code. (Admin backend, the works.)

" ... through hooks."

You see, I'm not a developer. I have no PHP-Fu. I can cut and paste snippets of code with the best of them.

Bill, did you get the email I sent thru your contact form?
Also, there's a moderated signups hack posted on my site.

If you think something can be done thru the core, file a trac ticket. Best way to get it looked at and some sort of answer.

Actually, no I didn't get anything from you. I'll check out your site.

Actually, this looks to be just what the doctor ordered. Thanks.

Andrea would you mind sending me a copy as well? I have been working on this one again after reading this thread ;)

Thanks,

Trent

Andrea: Thanks for all your work on behalf of WPMu. But I'm a bit baffled by the instructions at your site, and left a comment there.

Thanks again to Andrea for her help.
