WEB CROSSING, INC. RELEASES NEW 'REGISTER PLUS' PLUG-IN
-- Now Sites Can Apply TOS Agreement, COPPA-compliant Age Checking and Custom Registration Fields in Mere Minutes --
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 8, 2004 -- Web Crossing, Inc. today announced a new Register Plus plug-in, now making it easy for systems to implement a Terms of Service (TOS) agreement, Age Checking and five new custom registration fields. Free for a limited time, any Web Crossing installation can implement the new Register Plus plug-in through the sysop control panel and install in a few clicks.
"Web Crossing's plug-in architecture allows the administrator to quickly extend the system without programming," said Tim Lundeen, president and CEO of Web Crossing, Inc. "Register Plus helps organizations implement their own site registration models in a few button clicks. The ease of implementation means the team can concentrate on the content and policy issues involved."
The new Register Plus plug-in provides an option for obtaining agreement with the Terms of Service before a user's registration is processed. Register Plus can automatically prevent duplicate email addresses from registering, ensuring easy setup of email lists, which require unique email addresses. Register Plus also provides an option to notify the administrator when a new user registers.
A new Age Check option makes it easy for a site to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). People who do not pass the Age Check are automatically prevented from immediate re-entry and receive additional instructions. Administrators can easily customize Age Check failure instructions to meet their organization's policy requirements.
Register Plus also comes with Custom Registration fields allowing administrators to include up to five fields of custom designation. Set as optional or required, the admin can include the contents in the user's profile, allow users to change their answers inside the User Preference or only allow the administrator to edit the contents. Text labels for all custom registration fields can be localized.
Available immediately, the Register Plus plug-in is compatible with all Web Crossing and Web Crossing Express setups. Additional information and the Register Plus plug-in can be found at <http://www.webcrossing.com/regp>.
