Community Builder Registration Problems

liferules04 31 Dec, 2008
I am having registration issues and need some help. The problems is that I am receiving NO confirmation or activation emails when a user registers from the front end. I know that the SMTP global settings are working . It works fine from J! login module when enabled and I have successfully imported CSV with CB_JUICE and the confirmation email. Any ideas?

Yes, the core login component is disabled

Yes, the CB Login is enabled.

Yes, the global settings have disabled the new user activation.

Need any help that you can provide ....

Hi liferules04,

Core registration should be enabled!

first, does the user get added to the users list in Joomla ?

you can turn ON/OFF the confirmation emails in the plugin config page!

Okay, I have set Joomla global configuration settings as:
Allow User Registration Yes
New User Account Activation Yes

CB Configuration Manager / Registration Tab:
Allow User Registration: "Yes"
Autogenerate random registration password: "No"
Require Admin Approval: Yes
Require Email Confirmation: Set "yes" to send an email to users upon registration with a confirmation link.

The result is that users can register but no confirmation email is sent. They are added to the Joomla User list but cannot log in because the confirmation email is not sent.

Any ideas?

Problem solved. It ended up to be a SMTP issue after all.

I disabled cb_login and enabled core login for testing. I registered a new user and through a breadcrumb message I was aable to determine that the SMTP host could not be reached. I switched back to Sendmail and no everything works as it should.

Thanks for your help ...
