Hello,

So I have been having a consistent problem that for the life of me I cant seem to find an answer to. I am sure this is a simple issue that I am not finding on the forum or google. My goal is this: I have a form submission that performs a few actions.

First it creates a user using the Joomla User Management event in Chronoforms to create a user when the form is submitted. The Username and password are supplied from the form fields. After, it saves all info to an additional database on the server, emails the form data to an underwriter and also uses a CURL function to input the data into a CRM. After all this it redirects the user to a thank you page.

The problem I am having is two fold, but I'll deal with the main issue here first. When the user is created by the form, Joomla sends a verification email to the user for verification. When I test this though, the verification link directs to the website but gives a 403 ERROR. Not sure even where to began to fix this lol, but mind help to point out I am savvy enough, but by no means an expert.

Thanks in advance.

Hi PrimordiaMktg,

If this is ChronoForms v4 please try upgrading to the latest release RC3.2 as I saw some changes in the code that is used here and I think Max may have fixed a bug.

I updated all files and it is still happening. Same issue, when the verification email goes out it ends up at a 403 error on the website.

I think the activation link isn't going to the right place or something. Knowing me its some field I mistyped. Is there any tutorials available on user registration for Chronoforms v4?

Thanks for any help

Hi PrimordiaMktg,

Sorry for the red herring. What does the verification URL look like?

I think someone recently mentioned a problem with the lastVisited date being set but I don't remember if this was linked to the email verification.

Hi,

If you have J1.6 or later then you must use the new "Activation link" parameter in the "Joomla registration" action, and use the new "User activation" action in a new event to activate the user, because the core Joomla activation will not work if the Joomla core "Enable users registration" setting is turned off.

Max

Max,

I am using Joomla 1.5 and Chronoforms 3.1 rc 5.5 and have the same problem. Allowing joomla registration to YES solves the problem but i Hate that because it causes so many spam registrations.

Do you have any suggestion?
