- Credit Card Membership Registration Door v0.70
-
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
- CCDOOR is for the sysop of a pcboard v14.x bbs who uses a paid subscription
- for user access. CCDOOR will take the information from the user, decide if
- it meets the required criteria, update the USERS file with the new security
- level and subscription date (if desired), and add all the Q's & A's to a
- specified file. CCDOOR utilizes (1) Phone # Trash file; (2) Card # Trash
- File; (3) Expiration Date limiting (18 Months); (4) 3 Major errors allowed;
- to help ensure the information received is valid. Any suggestions on
- tightening the security are most welcomed. Well, let's get this bugger
- going...
-
-
-
-
-
- Running The Program
- -------------------
-
- Setting up "CCDOOR" cab be accomplished in a few minutes. Do not think of
- this as being complex and it will not be. Follow the below guide to the
- letter and you will have no problems.
-
-
-
- 1. I recommend you make a sub directory for CCDOOR to operate from. You may
- place it anywhere on your system, however.
-
- 2. Use PKUNZIP.EXE to extract the files into the chosen directory.
-
- 3. Edit the configuration file to suit your system's defaults. If you are
- networking or otherwise using more than one node, ensure a seperate
- configuration file (with a discrete filename) is made for each node.
-
- 4. Make a batch file to run the door from the bbs. Use my example as a guide.
-
- 5. Construct a TRASH file for card numbers you know are bad and place the
- numbers in them. CCDOOR will check for bad numbers AFTER the user enters
- and verifies the card number. If a forbidden number is used, the user is
- Immediately logged off and the door returns to pcboard for wrap-up.
-
- 6. Construct a TRASH file for illegal Phone Numbers.
- CCDOOR will check for bad numbers AFTER the user enters his phone #.
- If an illegal number is used, the user is either returned to the Phone #
- prompt or Immediately logged off and the door returns to pcboard for wrap-up.
-
-
-
- Sample Configuration File ; I named mine "ccd.cfg" (node 1)
- -------------------------
- The Programmer's Inn ;BBS name
- Rooster Pierce ;Sysop name
- c:\qb3\pcboard.sys ;Where to find PCBoard.sys
- c:\test ;Where to find the ccdoor menu files

- c:\test\cctrash ;Full Path/Name for the Trash File (read only)
- 12 ;Number of Lines to read (includes the membership
- ;question). Any blank line is counted. This is ONLY for
- ;the membership question!!!
- Effective May 1, 1989, there are 2 Membership Options available, @FIRST@.
- The Full One Year Membership includes access to ALL MIDI Conferences,
- including the Patch and Sample Libraries.
-
- The Limited 3 Month Membership DOES NOT include access to the
- Patch and Sample Libraries. Access to those libraries is available
- with the One Year Membership ONLY.
-
- ;Note that the last line of these 12 is the question!
- What is your Membership Option ( 1 = 1 Year/$95 2 = 3 Months/$30 )
- 2 ;Number of membership levels to use.
- 60, 12 ;The access level and number of months for option 1
- 61, 3 ;The access level and number of months for option 2

- c:\test\ccinfo ;Full Path/Name of a text file with anything you wish
- c:\test\ccphone ;FULL Path/Name of the Phone Trash file. CCDOOR
- ;Searches this for illegal phone numbers
-
-
- 6. You must remember to make a seperate .cfg file for each node.
-
- 7. Make a batch file to run the door. If more than one node, ensure a batch
- file is made for each node.
-
-
- PCBoard Door Batch File for CCDOOR
- ----------------------------------
- c: ; CHDIR to directory where CCDOOR .EXE
- cd\qb ; file is located
- CCDOOR ccd.cfg ; Command line to run CCDOOR
- cd\qb ; CHDIR back to PCBoard home directory
- BOARD
-
- To run in local (command-line) mode, enter the command line as follows:
-
- CCDOOR ccd.cfg /l
-
- Note that the "/l" MUST be at least 13 characters from the beginning of the
- configuration filename.
-
-
-
-
- Script File Info
- ----------------
-
- *** The Following Questions are "Hard-Coded" into CCDOOR ***
-
-
- (1) a$="Which credit card will you be using (Visa/MC/Discover/AMEX?)"
-
- (2) a$="What is your FULL NAME as it appears on the credit card?"
-
- (3) a$="Street Address:"
-
- (4) a$="City, State and ZIP:"
-
- (5) a$="Credit Card number (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx format)?"
-
- (6) a$="Please repeat the number for verification."
-
- (7) a$="Expiration date (mm/yy format)?"
-
- Edit your script file as required for pcboard. CCDOOR ONLY supports the @FIRST@
- macro. Look at the file "RON.SCR" to see how to begin the script.
-
- Note that in the script file, precede the question asking the telephone number
- with a "#" as done in "ron.scr". This Is necessary to perform the phone number
- verification. Also, precede the question asking if a user really wants to
- process the membership order with a "&". Again this is necessary for proper
- program operation.
