User Self Registration

[alexa9]

I need a system like most blogs have - where a new user who wants to post a comment has to register, then he gets an email to confirm password etc.

I understand this is the User Self Registration plugin - but I cannot get the User Self registration to work properly.

It registers OK and sends an email with a link and the link works - says "user account has been created etc," but when one tries to login it says the password is wrong!

Please, Can anyone help?

Hi!

Are you able to use a tool like phpMyAmdin? If so, can you check the serendipity_authors table and see if the created account is in there? If not, check the serendipity_pending_authors table?

It appears in the Serendipity_authors data base table when someone registers as a new user, and they reply to the email.

But when they try to log in it says the password is wrong.

When I go to "manage users" in the admin login, I can see the new registered user,
when I change the password of the new user- or just put in the same password that user used in the new password box (and save)

The new user can then log in - it kind of fixes it - but then - of course it is not "self registration"

-I have set the plugin so that users do not need admin approval of new users.

Hi!

Which serendipity version are you using, and which version of the adduser plugin?

Is the "password" column set inside the serendipity_authors table?

Are the people maybe using any special characters (umlauts etc.) in the password?
