User Self-Registration Plugin

[ltomlin]

Hi chaps,

My Blog site includes the User Self-Registration Plugin, I am getting an error when I tried to register myself as an author (basically is just says "error")

This is text that describes the plugging.

• Allows blog visitors to create their own author account. Together with the Event-plugin (index.php?serendipity[subpage]=adduser) you can choose whether only registered users may post comments.

Can someone that has some experience in using this plugin please shed some light on this issues.

Basiclly what I have done so far is as follows

• I have download, unzip, and copy the the User Self-Registration Plugin in the "Plugins" directory

• Installed this compontent via the adminsitration page "serendipity_admin.php"

• I tried to register myself as an author (basically is just says "error")

Cheers

Hi!

Your URL would help us to see the error. I've not yet seen a page which just says "Error" as a result, and the plugin works for me here...

Where exactly do you get the error, that we need to see.

Thanks for your response to my post.

The URL is http://blog.kisdatabase.com/

In response to your comment "I've not yet seen a page which just says "Error" as a result, and the plugin works for me here... ", for clarification, it is the User Self-Registration Plugin that says "Error" (the plugin display's nothing, it simple says "Error")

Many Thanks

Ah, that's good help. This means that serendipity cannot find the plugin files.

Maybe you downloaded the plugin wrong or did not unzip the files properly, or deleted them afterwards, or the read permissions do not allow the webserver to install the plugin.

But s9y cannot include the file in serendipity/plugins/serendipity_plugin_adduser/serendipity_plugin_adduser.php.

How does your file structure look like in that directory?

Thanks for your response,

Regarding "file structures and directory" I think I may have spoted a potential problem.

What is the best way to migrate serendipity from environment to another (ie. from development -> live)

Can I move the code and database from one environment to another

Or should I alway start with a fresh install

Thanks

Hi!

Moving s9y is described here: http://www.s9y.org/11.html#A21

So you can do that, yes

Hi Garvin, Thanks for replying. I am still having the same problem, can you please have a look at this link http://blog2.kisdatabase.com/ , which has browse access, so you will be to see files and directories.

Hi!

When I go to your URL and view the HTML source of index.php I can see this CSS URL:

http://blog2.kisdatabase.com\/index.php?/serendipity.css

That's wrong, it needs to read:

http://blog2.kisdatabase.com/index.php?/serendipity.css

Without the backslash. So check the admin suite if you mistakenly set other paths with a backslash as well?

Garvin

Hi Garvin, thanks for your response. Can you please click on this link http://blog2.kisdatabase.com/serendipity_admin.php (), Please feel free to change (delete, update or remove) whatever you like.

Please let me know if there is anything that needs to be completed differently.

Cheers (Thanks for all your help)

Hi!

After you fixed it, your blog: http://blog2.kisdatabase.com/index.php seems to work now properly, right?

I also added a comment here: http://blog2.kisdatabase.com/index.php? ... ntry..html

so that works as well.

Hi Garvin,

Can you also have a look User Self-Registration Plugin for me,
try to register your self as an author (and you will see what I am talking about), the plugin will just disply "error".

Please let me know if you have any ideas


Cheers

Hi!

This happens because your server does not seem to have mail() PHP command support.

If you're running a Windows server, you must setup a SMTP server and enter its configuration in php.ini for PHP to be able to send mails (which the plugin requires to notify authors of their accounts).

HTH,
Garvin

Garvin,

After I updated the php.ini, the User Self Registration Plugin Worked, so you are definately the man . Clearly a "Top Gun".

All the best.

Cheers
