   I want to set up a site with some content available to anyone, and the rest, the bulk of it, available only to registered (not necessarily paid) members. The catch is that members cannot be from a certain set of zipcodes, because my site will be selling information and products that would unduly help my real-world competition.

   Software or plug-ins for this seem to be difficult to find, or very complicated in the set-up. I can ftp, follow directions to modify an .htaccess file, and follow directions to modify php, but not much else.

   Wishlist comes close, but doesn't allow custom fields, and I need that zipcode field. Register Plus uses the custom fields, but how would I use the zip info? I have been going in circles all day, and would surely love some help untangling this. It can't be that difficult, can it?

   I'm not officially with either one but would just add my $0.02 after purchasing Wishlist - it allows for basically NO customization and is extremely frustrating that way. I would not look to it to be able to do what you need. I'm using it but begrudgingly because it won't allow for me to add/change any of the registration fields, profile fields, not even small word changes on the login widget! It has places you can "Customize" but if it's not the standard, then you're out of luck and you are locked out of the code to make any changes at that level.

   You need some sort of "verification" for approval for a registration - I'll be on the lookout too because I'm still searching for a better option for what I need. If I find anything, I'll post it back here.

   Good luck!
