Email validation of registration and other registration issues -- 1
Hello,
Just installed 1.9.1 because the other one I installed, through Fantastico "worked" but when I tested the "registration", I was able to register several names, but ....
The process required validation:
(1) that is an email sent to the registrant --> and (s)he must respond to complete the registration
The problem was the email never came. I tried several names and emails, no go. Note, I have a mechanism to check whether an email was being sent, through %22CC%22 to make sure that an email address indeed receive an email.
I thought it might be a bug in the old tikiwiki (1.8.5) that I installed through Fantastico. I saw an old post indicating the same problem:
and there were recent posts indicating the same problems, for example:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org//tiki-view_tracker_item.php?trackerId=5&itemId=336
That was why I installed 1.9.1 to check if this has been resolved; but I had the same problem even with 1.9.1
Without any validation, I tried to log-in with the "username" (this username is separate from my "admin"); but, the log in failed since there was no validation of the registration, to begin with.
(2) Since I am registering "myself" essentially, I used the "admin" user to approve my "other usersames" — that was the only way it would work.
More in the next "response" to this...
