New User Activation Hack

Hi,

For some reason, this hack does not work for me ever since I switched servers. It works fine until:

Quote:

New User Registration: Final Step

Test, please check the following information. If all is correct you can proceed with the registration by clicking on "Finish" button, otherwise "Go Back" and change whatever information is needed.

User Name: test

Email: test@aol.com

Note: You will receive a confirmation email with a link to a page you should visit to activate your account in the next 24 hours.

BUt then after I click FINISH, it just takes me to the user login screen...after I type my name and pword, it just says "incorrect login" ...Does anyone know what this could be?....I tried overwriting the Your Account folder with a fresh nuke folder, and then I tried changing the index.php to include the FinishNewUser function...but i still get the problem..

My guess is that you may have a mod that modified the user table and may be conflicting with the finishNewuser mod. Check your error log for a message. Also, try setting $sql_debug = 0; to $sql_debug = 1; in includes/sql_layer.php to temporarily show errors. Sometimes that will reveal the error.

Is this what you see AFTER you try to add and click finish? I also edited your post for content Smile

no this is after you told me to edit the sql_layer file....once I set it to "1" like you said, then when I go to my site, I get all this code.

I understand that. That's what is supposed to happen. Now, go through the add new user steps. After each screen, look for an error message.

Nope, it doesnt say anything? Can you check it out for me? I'd greatly appreciate it. My email is fphilip78@hotmail.com. Contact me and I'll give you all the info for the website..

Hey,

I fixed the error!

Open your modules/Your_Account/index.php and find the following code:

Quote:

$message = ""._WELCOMETO." $sitename!\n\n"._YOUUSEDEMAIL." ($user_email) "._TOREGISTER." $sitename.\n\n "._TOFINISHUSER."\n\n $finishlink\n\n "._FOLLOWINGMEM."\n\n"._UNICKNAME." $username\n"._UPASSWORD." $user_password";
$subject = ""._ACTIVATIONSUB."";
$from = "$adminmail";
mail($user_email, $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
title("$sitename: "._USERREGLOGIN."");
OpenTable();
echo "<center>"._ACCOUNTCREATED." ";
echo ""._YOUAREREGISTERED.""
." "
.""._FINISHUSERCONF." "
.""._THANKSUSER." $sitename!</center>";
CloseTable();
}

Then replace it with:

Quote:

$message = ""._WELCOMETO." $sitename!\n\n"._YOUUSEDEMAIL." ($user_email) "._TOREGISTER." $sitename.\n\n "._TOFINISHUSER."\n\n $finishlink\n\n "._FOLLOWINGMEM."\n\n"._UNICKNAME." $username\n"._UPASSWORD." $user_password";
$subject = ""._ACTIVATIONSUB."";
$from = "$adminmail";
mail($user_email, $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
title("$sitename: "._USERREGLOGIN."");
OpenTable();
echo "<center>"._ACCOUNTCREATED." ";
echo ""._YOUAREREGISTERED.""
." Click this link to activate your account <a href=$finishlink>$finishlink</a> "
.""._THANKSUSER." $sitename!</center>";
CloseTable();
}

that will display the Activation link for your users when they register on the last page of the Registration process..
You might want to change the Language file for Your Account module for this definition.

Quote:

Note: You will receive a confirmation email with a link to a page you should visit to activate your account in the next 24 hours.

or you can remove JUST THIS part from the index.php file

Quote:

"._NOTE." "._YOUWILLRECEIVE."

The purpose of the hack is to NOT have to click anything to activate and the hack does work as published as hundreds can attest to. By adding that line into yours it is no longer an auto activation hack.

AHhhh Yeahhh I know that, but I needed somethin.....for the time being at least....until I find out what is up with the hack on my site...

I'm having the exact same problem on my end.

I see that when I registered here that the email thing worked. Howd you get it to work Raven?

THis is the weird thing. The PM for my forum send out an email to the users when a PM is sent. But it seems as though that a reply to post's is not working either.

NUKE 6.9 and 7.0

See this post and in it is a mailtest script that runs independently of Nuke. That way we can determine where to start looking.

It worked, I got the email

Mailed - This just means that the PHP mail() function is working.
If you do not receive the email, then there is probably something wrong with your SMTP setup.

Please post a link to your site.

Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

this is just a test site for now, till I get it working right.

this is the 6.9 version

Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2004 4:38 pm

Make sure that in your nuke Preferences that the Site URL is

Code:

http://www.donjski.com/nuke6.9

and that in Forum Configuration the Domain Name is

Code:

www.donjski.com/nuke6.9

Also, I'm not too sure about that folder name nuke6.9 . You might try renaming it to nuke69 if it still doesn't work after the two settings above are verified.

Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2004 4:42 pm

That is how they are set. In my other curent forum Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

It is set the same way:

"nuke" http://www.donjski.com/forum/

"forum" www.donjski.com/forum/

Could the trailing forward slash "/" be the problem?

Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2004 5:21 pm

I took the trailing slash out and still no go. But I did just get a reply mail for a post I had made on the above forum.

Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2004 8:20 pm

You absolutely cannot have a trailing slash. It will interfere with other code for sure.

i've also had a problem with this..

the site i have installed nuke 6.8 on is http://cs.n0rth.com

i followed the intstructions, replaced the right things... i even tried deleting the slashes (wasn't sure about that)

each time i got the error
Parse error: parse error in /home/n0rth/public_html/cs/modules/Your_Account/index.php on line 1129

doesn't sound good

thanks, n0rth

Not slashes; only the trailing slash. There are 2 versions. Make sure you got the right one.

Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 5:56 pm

i use nuke 6.8, which is the correct version? i tried both... and what do you mean by trailing slash? in which field should we not have a trailing slash?

thanks

Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 6:45 pm

The trailing slash after the Site Url and Domain Name

Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 6:55 pm

no slashes there

Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 6:57 pm

Plese post line 1129
