Self Reg Verify Registration email problem

Post by paulbaker »

So, I have FEU (Front End Users) working and SelfReg set up with "Require the user to confirm registration via email" ticked.

The process is: User wanting access to site fills in a registration form including their email address and a password which they want to use to access the site.

CMSMS then emails user with a link to click on - to verify the email address is correct.

That much is working. BUT the email sent includes:
This email is being sent because somebody registered for access to the website using this email address. If this was you, please click on the following link and enter your username, password, and the unique code below

Follow this link: "http://www.example.com/index.php?mact=S ... 16&page=16

or this link: "http://www.example.com/index.php?mact=S ... 16&page=16

and enter this code: HVBT552QSJ
If you look at the make up of the first link, this includes
mfceebsr_input_username=asdf%40asdf.com
and
mfceebsr_input_code=HVBT552QSJ
so I was rather hoping these values would be pre-entered in to the form, leaving just the password for the user to enter.

BUT on 2 browsers (Chrome & Firefox) the Verify Registration form is shown empty (see attachment screenshot).
Verify Registration form...empty
Verify Registration form...empty
So the user has to enter all three bits of information. This seems like too many hoops to jump through to me. Most registration processes of this nature just require a click and the URL contains enough info to know who they are and verify them.

(When I do enter all three bits of information the user is correctly added in to the FEU users list).

How can I get the links in the email working as they should?

Thanks! ;D

In all my experience the fields have been filled in automatically.
Follow me on twitter
Please post system information from "Extensions >> System Information" (there is a bbcode option) on all posts asking for assistance.

If you can't bother explaining your problem well, you shouldn't expect much in the way of assistance.

Thanks Calguy.

Just discovered the logout link doesn't work either:

Code: Select all

/index.php?mact=FrontEndUsers,cntnt01,logout,0&cntnt01returnid=15
That just takes me back to the home page (ID 15) but leaves me logged in. Home page is non cachable.

Not mod security again is it?

In my setup the logout link brings me to a page with a logout button first.
