verify an email address

hi i followed this how-to and it works
http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/61-cfv4/cfv4-tutorials/2551-how-can-i-verify-an-email-address.html

but for integrate that system in joomla, in joomla user table the only "vstatus" available is #__users "BLOCK" field, that works on the contrary: 0 value for abilitation, 1 for disabilitation.
how can i make vstatus value on the contrary (default 1, activation 0)?

Hi alfredopacino,

What do you need to do with the email verification?

If it's just to verify new members then you can change the code to work with 0+1

i'm trying to do the only this doable with joomla, email verification of the new users🙂

what code do you mean?

what method usually do you see to use for email verification of joomla users?

Hi alfredoacino,

Most of the time I just leave it to the default Joomla! email and verification system.

If I need to do a custom verification then I build a v-link that points back to a separate event on my form.

-i set "send email" for new user activation in joomla user configuration
- i set "email confirmation" on yes in CB registration configuration
- i even tried to set smtp email option

i dont get any activation email... 😑
i tried and searched a lot on the web but i didnt solve..

so there's a way to use a "reverse" vstatus on #__users.block ?

Hi alfredpacino,

Is your site sending emails at all?

Can you send an email from a very simple ChronoForm?
