Password protect registration routine with an invite code?

  • WP2.7.1
    My own server
    Latest Stable PHP

    I would like to only allow individuals with a common password to access the registration area.

    An “invite code” input page if you will.

    Preventing anyone without the invite code from accessing the registration form period, possibly redirecting them to a custom page.

    Since the registration page is now a sub routine in wp-login I don’t know how to do this. I could break it away and mod the core but, I prefer to keep it in tact for all my sites (and ease of updates).

    I tried using htaccess / htpasswd using the query string (action=register) but, I failed.

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=register
Then I obviously attempted to call up htpasswd in several ways based on online tutorials but, apache has issues with query strings there I guess?

    Maybe to complicate matters, I am using the wonderful register-plus plugin.

    Any ideas for my invite code requirements?

    I think what I need would result in a new feature for register-plus.

    I am wondering how difficult it would be to create another option for the invite code feature in register-plus.

    A “Display invite code entry form before displaying registration form” check box option?

    Also a selection for number of failed attempts before redirecting to specific url. With a text box for the redirect url.

    Man, am I over complicating things again or what?
