I am confused.
Can we or cannot change the core files?
I need a way to control subscriptions to the system.
Is there a solution for that?
Actually, I need something to avoid subscriptions.
I would like to create my users as I decide to invite someone.
In other words, I need that the system be private, not for public access.

Hi all.. Cant find this component??

Ok Arsalan Shah , thank you!

Please do not edit any core file and do not modify core database tables. We'll try to create a component for you.

@fido alex you shouldnt modify the core . without modify we can achieve that . i will try to create a plugin for that when i get time . if update your modification will be deleted

Guys here is the tutorial of my creation for the ADMIN APROVAL in OSSN

Step 1: 
>  Go to -> phpMyAdmin and insert in ossn_users a new field "aprove" the field type must be ''text''.

Step 2:
> Go to -> actions\administrator\user\edit.php
Add the following line's on the top of all line's

*Add this line In the $user firstname*
$user['aprove'] = input('aprove');

*In $params['names'] = array* 
 'aprove',

*In the $params['values']*
$user['aprove'],

*Again at the bottom of the page $params['values']*
$user['aprove'],

*Save edit.php and close'it!*

Step 3:
> Go to -> classes/OssnUser.php, and edit the following line that you will find on "public function Login"

*Edit:*  
if($password == $user->password && $user->activation == NULL

*With:* 
if($password == $user->password && $user->activation == NULL && $user->aprove == ACTIVATED) {

*When a user has ACTIVATED status saved in `aprove`, it will be able to log'in to the site, and if not, he can't :)*

Step 4:
> Go to -> system\plugins\default\forms\admin\user\edit.php
This is the edit file for the users that you will modify or activate the user from admin area.

*Here you have to paste all the `<div>` code after the* 
<?php $user = $params['user']; ?>` *Like this!*

<div>
<label> Activate/Deactivate User Access </label>
<select name="aprove">
<?php
if ($user->aprove == 'ACTIVATED') {
$activated= 'selected';
$deactivated= '';
}
if ($user->aprove == 'DEACTIVATED') {
$deactivated= 'selected';
$activated= '';}
?>
<option value="ACTIVATED" <?php echo $activated; ?>> ACTIVATE USER</option>
<option value="DEACTIVATED" <?php echo $deactivated; ?>> DEACTIVATE USER </option>
</select>
</div>

Step 5:
> I have the component verified-account from ossn, and here i have the file that is activated for the site
that is in -> components\verified-account\plugins\default\forms\admin\users\list.php, open end add this lines.

*In the*  `<table class="table ossn-users-list">` *add at the end of*  `<th>` *this line* <th>Activation Status</th>
*And then at the bottom of the page after last* `<td>` *line, paste this code:*
<?php if($user->aprove =='ACTIVATED') echo "<td style='background-color: #00FF00; text-align: center; width: 120px; height: 1px;color: white; padding: 14px 12px;font-weight: bold;'>".$user->aprove."</td>"; else if($user->aprove =='DEACTIVATED')  echo "<td style='background-color: #FF0000; text-align: center; width: 120px;  height: 1px;color: black; padding: 14px 12px;font-weight: bold;'>".$user->aprove."</td>"
 ?>
