New account verification by email

I've searched high and low, and can't find an answer to this: is there an existing contribution that allows for an email verification on customer sighnup? This would prevent a user from purchasing without verifying their email address is correct.

Thanks.

During the registration process,

Zen-Cart already verifys if the email is valid with this block:

} elseif (zen_validate_email($email_address) == false) {
    $error = true;

    $messageStack->add('create_account', ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS_CHECK_ERROR);

Are you looking for to authorize the registration entirely over email for each users who'd like to sign-up for the first time ? Like a customer awaiting level ?

Yes, and even better would be re-verification if the email address is updated. The function above merely checks the email syntax. I wish to impose validation by the customer of their email address, as support depends on it.

Sounds like a good idea. I already worked under this kind of MOD with another script in the past.

Perhaps I could give it a try for Zen-Cart too. I already have an expanded general function module for advanced email verification but just don't know if it could work for Zen-Cart as an extra function.

However, for now, what I could do is probably process the validation email from ACP with a uniq ID and, once validated, the account could be updated to the customer level (regular basis).

Is this the type of MOD you're actually looking for to have ?

I thought I'd seen something like that ages ago.

However, this is the closest I can find to it ... which isn't really what you're after entirely. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13618
