mem_self_register

heikki74 · 2005-08-31 17:28:22

(It took a while to write this.. Manfre got first to answer)

I think help texts are quite messy for rookies.
The following is quite minimum for this plugin to work..

Download latest version from here.
Install and activate it.
Go to the plugin help. Press “install” next to This plugin requires values to be installed to the preferences.
(now you can find the settings under “Self_reg” in “admin -> preferences -> advanced preferences”)

put this to your page template:
<code><txp:mem_self_register_form /></code>

put to the form called self_register_form
<code>Name: <txp:mem_name_input /><br />
User Name: <txp:mem_user_input /><br />
Email: <txp:mem_email_input /><br />
<txp:mem_submit /></code>

put this to the form called self_register_email
<code>Dear <txp:mem_name />, Thank you for registering for <txp:mem_sitename />.
Below are you user account details.
Username: <txp:mem_username />
Password: <txp:mem_password />
Site URL: <txp:mem_siteurl />
Login URL: <txp:mem_loginurl />
Sincerely,
<txp:mem_admin_name />
Email: <txp:mem_admin_email /></code>

Try it now. The user should receive email and become visible in “admin -> site admin” tab.

heikki74,

I was glad to see your simplified explanation for setting the plugin up. I’d already done that. But as I noted before, using Textpattern 4.0, a user on my site can see and use the self-registration form, and that user does receive an email giving him or her the login info, etc.

However, if a user fails to fill out one of the 3 required fields, I cannot find a way to use the plugin to inform the user that they failed to properly fill out the form. And I cannot get the plugin to show the user a page thanking him or her for filling out the form.

So I’m still asking: Is this behavior due to the fact the plugin isn’t ready for 4.0 yet?

Version 0.5 has been released with the following fixes/improvements:

Verified support with Textpattern 4.
Added user-side profile support. Tags txp:mem_change_password_form, txp:mem_user_edit_form
Fixed self-reg form so warning messages appear if a field is left blank. Tags txp:mem_user_warn, txp:mem_email_warn, txp:mem_name_warn
Added Installation Wizard and updated plugin description to mention install in help.

Hey this is great news! Can this be extended to connect to a different user database? [Jeremy Amos (<a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=8799”>ign_password_protect</a>) is working on a version which includes authenticates users based on a separate database] Can we change a few values so users are automatically added to an alternative database? If Yes, how do we do it.

Secondly, Running the installer gives me the following error <code>Fatal error: Call to undefined function doWrap() in C:\HOME\NEW SERVER\xampp\htdocs\testpattern\textpattern\lib\txplib_misc.php(429) : eval()’d code on line 240</code> (I’m using 4.0)

Redownload the plugin. I forgot to include taghandlers, since another plugin I have installed was already doing that. It should work now.

I’ve been in contact with Jeremy about his plugin. When he officially releases support for the alternate database, then I will too. ;-)

loid · 2005-09-06 15:33:48

I don’t know if it has anything to do with having just upgraded to Textpattern 4.0.1, but I can’t get the plugin to work (0.5.1). The additional tabs are there in my admin preferences, but I can’t get the form to send out email, and the warnings don’t show up anywhere if the fields are left blank.

In the previous version of the plugin, using Textpattern 4.0, the warning fields also would not appear. But in that version, the email was sent correctly.

Wish I could provide more of a clue what’s wrong, but even in debugging mode I’m not seeing anything specific to the plugin. I ran the install wizard a couple of times, but it didn’t make any difference.

Delete your form “self_register_form” and then rerun the installer for the plugin. It will create a default “self_register_form”. I have a feeling that this will fix the problems you are having. The new version fixed a bug where the email would be sent even if the form was not filled out properly.

Thank you very much! It works fine now. I am really looking forward for the next version. Good luck with it!

Consider it officially released ;-)

Right back at you

In addition to supporting the alternate databases, I also improved the install wizard and allow for adding fields to hold a phone number and address.

igner · 2005-09-08 03:16:33

great…now I’m gonna have to add support for the additional fields…

someone tell my wife and kids I’ll see them sometime next week ;)

Manfre · 2005-09-08 03:22:49

I think you’re slipping behind. I had support for those fields in 0.5. :P I layed down the structured in my plugin so that it can support any non default fields. I just have to add support for them to appear in the form. Just thought I’d warn you.

igner · 2005-09-08 04:02:27

Yeah, well my next version’s gonna have support for…um…stuff. Just you wait and see.

Actually, I was being something of a smart-ass. I may incorporate full-on profile support, but since 99 times out of 10 those looking for profile support are gonna be using the two together, there’s no rush on my end.

Manfre · 2005-09-08 04:28:46

Thanks to igner for pointing out 2 bugs with 0.6, which have been resolved and 0.6.1 is posted in its place.

creativesplash · 2005-09-08 14:05:46

Manfre,
I just tried <code><txp:mem_profile var=“email” /></code> (along with igners database).

It doesnt output anything. Am I using the right tag?
