Register BinktermPHP

Thank you for using BinktermPHP! Registration supports continued development and unlocks premium features for your installation.

Why Register?

BinktermPHP is open source and the community edition is fully functional ? registration is never required to run a BBS. But if BinktermPHP has been valuable to your system, registering is the right thing to do. It keeps the project alive and gives you some genuinely useful extras:

• "Registered to [system name]" badge in the site footer and admin dashboard
• Custom footer branding ? replace the "Powered by BinktermPHP" line with your own text, or hide it entirely
• Custom splash pages ? display your own Markdown or HTML content above the login and registration forms
• Netmail email forwarding ? have incoming netmail forwarded to your users' email addresses
• Echomail digest ? send users a daily or weekly email digest of new echomail from their subscribed areas
• Message templates ? save and reuse subject/body templates in the compose form
• Economy viewer ? admin dashboard for credit economy stats and transaction history
• Referral analytics ? admin page showing top referrers, referral signups, and bonus credits earned
• More features to come ? registered installations automatically receive new premium features as they are developed

How to Register

Step 1 ? Pay for your license

Visit https://paypal.me/awehttam and pay whatever feels right to you. In the PayPal note, include the name of your BBS so your payment can be matched to your license request.

Step 2 ? Send your registration details

The easiest way is to run the included script from your BinktermPHP installation directory:

php scripts/license_request.php

It will prompt you for your PayPal transaction number and system details, then send the request automatically.

Alternatively, email awehttam@gmail.com with the subject line BinktermPHP Registration - Your BBS Name and include the following:

System Name: (the name of your BBS)

Sysop Name: (your name or handle)

Email Address: (the address to send your license file to)

FidoNet Address: (optional ? your node address if you have one)

Step 3 ? Install your license

Once your registration is received, a license file will be generated and sent to you. You can install it in either of two ways:

• Via the admin panel ? go to Admin ? Licensing, paste the license JSON into the box, and click Install License.
• Manually ? place the file at `data/license.json` in your BinktermPHP installation directory.

No restart is required either way.
