Can create user but not activate

RW_Webmaster 19 Mar, 2013
I can create the user, but activating the user is not done.
Here are the steps that I am using to do this:
Check Recaptcha
Joomla User Registration
Under Joomla User Registration - Success Section
DB Save
EMail Verification Sender - Settings
Verification Code Field Name - verify
Verification status field name - verify_status
Files array field name - verify_array
Verification link path = http://www.testrw.org/index.php/ct-menu-item-5/ct-menu-item-9 (Create User Form)
Email
http://www.testrw.org/index.php/ct-menu-item-5/ct-menu-item-7?{verification_link}&option=com_chronoforms&chronoform=user_validation (This is the link to validate user)
Then I have the Email Verification Response at the very end of the actions.
On the user_validation form I have the following in the action section.
DB Multi Record Loader
The settings are as follows:
I set the table to the one that I am using.
Request Param = verify_user
Model ID = cf_uid
Fields = verify,verify_status,verify_array
Email Verification Response
Joomla User Activation

Do I have them in the right order and am I missing anything or do I have an incorrect input? I can create the user but I cannot get the user to be activated and enabled in Joomla. Thank you.

Hi RW_Webmaster,

Are you planning to use the default Joomla! User activation - in which case you need the com_users version of the link in the email.

Or the ChronoForms Joomla Activation action - in which case the link needs to go to a form event with the action in it.

Either way you don't want the verification link going to a Menu Item unless you are very sure it will behave correctly. In general avoid SEO URLs for links like this. (The exception would be if you are using the new Joomla ReDirect component or an SEF component that allows you to specifically manage the URL routing.)
