: Automatic Registration
You can automatically create your visitor's message board account for them by sending them to a custom registration URL. This can be helpful if you have a separate registration on your website and you don't want to make your visitors register twice.
You can make a hidden request to the custom registration URL by using a small image tag, a small iframe tag, or a high-level programming language. Sample code for the Perl, PHP, JavaScript, and Java/JSP programming languages is available here.
If you would like to send your visitors to the registration page with the textboxes already filled in, please follow the directions below:
The URL should look like this unmodified:
http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/register/USERNAME/register?passvalues=1
(where USERNAME is your Website Toolbox username)
Then extend the URL with whatever information you would like pre-filled. The appropriate extensions are listed at the bottom of the page.
If you would like to send your visitors straight to the "Registration Complete" page, please follow the directions below:
The URL should like this unmodified:
http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/register/USERNAME/create_account?
(where USERNAME is your Website Toolbox username)
Then extend the URL with whatever information you would like. The appropriate extensions are listed at the bottom of the page.
Please note that the username, password, and email address fields are required. Leaving the required fields blank will result in the user being sent to the registration page with an error.
