Issue/Bug with User Save (Registration) with CF7

I found an issue with Chronoforms 7.

In using the User Save function, the activation token was being created with "-" (dashes) which was causing the activation link to not work. 

I tried a number of things and found that the token / activation field would not work if there were any dashes in it, but would work fine if you removed them from both the field and the link.

I did some digging (ok maybe a few hours worth lol) and found the following.  In the file:

...../administrator/components/com_chronoforms7/chronoforms/functions/joomla_user/joomla_user_output.php

In the $UserData section, this line was causing the problem:

'activation' => ((int)($status >= 2)) ? \G3\L\Str::uuid() : '',

I dove into the code in CF8 and was able to deduce what changes were needed to fix (CF8 seemed to not have the issue).  I replaced the line above in the php file in CF7 with:

'activation' => ((int)($status >= 2)) ? str_replace("-", "", \G3\L\Str::uuid()) : '',

Hopefully this helps anyone who runs into the issue, or helps with patching it in a future release 😃
