HiRachel1208 (talk) This is the problem: I want that people must provide their E-mail address with fixed suffix like @gmail.com, and after confirmation, they can become users. Maybe to solve that problem, I need to change the login inerface and some other files. However, I don't know where to start.:( So I really need your helpRachel1208 (talk) Thank you for your kind replies! :)

You can probably use the isValidEmailAddr hook to check if the email is from specific domains, and set $result to false if it doesn't match.

Firstly, thank you for your kind reply! However, since I am a newcomer, the information that you provided to me as below is a bit difficult for me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Define function: public static function onisValidEmailAddr( $addr, &$result ) { ... }

Attach hook: $wgHooks['isValidEmailAddr'][] = 'MyExtensionHooks::onisValidEmailAddr';

Called from: Sanitizer.php - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Would you mind give me some details, like where should I define the function and the attach hook? What should I write in the function public static function onisValidEmailAddr( $addr, &$result ) { ... }?

Thanks a lot!:)

double post, sorry

Well, after a little test, I think the AbortNewAccount hook is better because it can provide an error message.

Simply put this in LocalSettings.php:

function onAbortNewAccount_emaildomain( $user, &$message ) {
    if ( preg_match( "/@gmail\.com/i", $user->getEmail() ) !== 1 ) {
        $message = "We only accept user registrations with email domain @gmail.com";
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

$wgHooks['AbortNewAccount'][] = 'onAbortNewAccount_emaildomain';

There's also an extension for this Extension:CheckEmailAddress.

Awesome! Thanks a lot!!
