I am wanting to make it so only people with a certain email address able to sign up. It is for a university society, so everyone has to have a university email to sign up.

I have found a solution for it on the joomla.org forums but it is only for the com_registration component not for community builder. Does anyone know how to do this in Community Builder?

this was the part in com_registration to add below line 79 on the registration.html.php file:

} else if (form.email.value.indexOf("@emaildomainiwant.com") < 0) {
alert( "<?php echo 'Sorry, this email address is not allowed to register on this site.';?>" );

yes

writing a plugin is easy now.
You'd have to use the "OnBeforeSaveRegistration" trigger.
Download and study the "condition plugin" where you'll find all the info to write a plugin.

By the way, i'm trying to write 2 plugins ...

please explain further. i dont understand

If you know PHP, then just download plugin API documentation from downloads (RC2). There is an example of how to make a validation plugin.

If you do not know PHP, you can hire someone to code this at www.joomlancers.com

As Mikko writes, the API documentation is extremely well written.
It explains how to write plugins, because you juste need a plugin for your needs.

And to start coding a plugin, i suggest you to download the plugin named "conditions" in the joomlapolis repository.
Why ? Because i think it is a good plugin, and i have understand in a few minutes how to write a plugin...

So you would need only 2 hours to code such a plugin. Or rent somebody, as Mikko writes.

But, juste try to code, you'll see, it's accessible.

thanks guys,
ive downloaded the conditions plugin and have started having a look at it. will spend some time trying to write my own plugin.

if it doesnt work out as planned looks like joomlancers.com

thanks again, i thought it may have been a simple line of code to put in somewhere like in the com_registration file.
