Joomla Registration - Emails sent with empty passwords

marionathan 01 Oct, 2009
Hello,

I am using Joomla Registration plugin with the option to automatically create password for the user. All is great, but the Joomla registration confirmation e-mail the users are getting contain empty passwords, so there is no way for the user to log in.

Hello Test User,

Thank you for registering at Our Site. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
http://siteurl.com/en/index.php?option=com_user&task=activate&activation=b9ccd4455e101c94edb0f702f0f6378b

After activation you may login to http://siteurl.com/en/ using the following username and password:

Username: [email]user@email.com[/email]
Password:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mario

Hi Mario,

I posted an update to the plugin here a week or two ago. I think that this was one of the fixes - please will you try it.

Note: upzip the file and put the .php file into the components/com_chronocontact/plugins folder

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply! I replaced the file in the ChronoContact plugins folder, but I still get the same behaviour. Purging the server cache didn't helped.

In the file you sent me has this line added in the function onsubmit(), so I guess versions are OK:
> $posted =& JRequest::get('post');

May be there are other configuration changes that I need to make as well?

Hi all,
Thankyou for a great extension, but i have a question on the email upon registration.
I'm using CB registration plugin and i want the user to receive and approved only using one email without admin approval.
I'd change setting in the CB without confirmation but Chronoform still sending the confirmation email and admin have to approve the user.

The current first email content is sent with empty passwords.

Can you help me on this.

I'm also having the same problem as above.

The notification is being sent to admin only,
not the user, so it defeats the purpose.

I have tried all the other configurations (sendmail & smtp)
as well, but getting errors and timeouts.

The mail server is functioning properly as I can recieve and send
email from my client or cpanel.

Can anyone suggest a solution, please?

Hi Cranky-9,

Which version of ChronoForms are you using? You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6.

What settings do you have for the Emails in the Joomla! Registration plug-in/action?

Bob
