i have been searching the phpbb support forums.... but i dont seem to get any post that will solve my problem...

i have problem with the forum account activation link in the email.... well, i was just recently found out that new members on my forums cant post because their acc are not activated.... and i have create new test acc:

Forum URL: http://ideastudiox.7.forumer.com
Username: Tester
Pass: 890426

and the activation link i got is this > http://ideastudiox.7.forumer.com/?mode=act...4bad6a5b6f5b791

it doesn seem to bring me to the activated page.... i found a post wrote

Quote:

Problem Solved

Instead of this Link http://7.forumer.com/profile.php?mod...act_key=a08150

It put this instead http://arsenewenger.7.forumer.com/pr...act_key=a08150

It worked!

what its mean?? :blink:

my forums members are having problem with the activation link which doesn bring them to activate their acc.....and i have to activate them manually at the Admin Panel...

You should be getting a link like the one you quoted above. Try turning the validation off, by going Admin CP > General Admin > Configuration, and find 'Enable account activation' and set it to 'None'.

CrazyGirl · 01-13-2005, 04:57 AM

huh? but it will be no need an activation email if i put none....i wan to have email activation system...

anyway.... i turned it to None now....

**Jake** · 01-13-2005, 08:14 AM

You said "What does this mean". As you can look at the link there is no forum name. That was the problem.

Did you get it resolved?

**Attitude** · 01-13-2005, 02:55 PM

@ Crazy Girl, never ever ever give out your password. Now people has your password, ANYONE can get into your board and be 'you' now. A mod or yourself crazygirl, should edit that. (Just giving you some helpful info)

Thanks.

**Jake** · 01-13-2005, 03:46 PM

Attitude, please dont worry. If he/she wants to give out info she/he can if wanted to. I dont think it was a admin anways, just a member.

Crazygirl - Did you get it fixxed?

CrazyGirl · 01-14-2005, 02:17 AM

that is just a normal member for activation test.... of course i wont give out my admin id and pass....

still not solved yet.... because i wasn bring by the link to right page to activate the account... <_<

Timelord · 01-14-2005, 05:30 AM

I'm adding to this thread rather than starting a new one because my problem is exactly the same. Members not being provided with the correct link for activation. And I will not switch the activation to "none" because I am having problems with a couple of pesky teenagers who will abuse that without a second thought (they did it to me on Pro Boards - that's why I switched away from it).

My forum is http://temptimelord.7.forumer.com

The link that my members are getting (and this is an example) is;

http://temptimelord.7.forumer.com/?mode=ac...e88d846029a7f83

I would prefer to have the link provided to them as being correct automatically. That's assuming this one is inherently wrong as this thread appears to indicate.

**Jake** · 01-14-2005, 10:10 AM

Ok. For now just turn off the activation link (so you can keep on getting new members), till we get this solved.

Please refer to this documentaion.

Timelord · 01-14-2005, 01:57 PM

That's just not an option for me, Jake - as I explained. I can't have my new forum abused like the Pro Boards one was.

seeing this problem also.

Inside the email will be a link.....right now that link is bugged and I'm not sure why.

You will get a link that looks like:

Code:

http://bloodlust.7.forumer.com/?mode=activate&u=7&act_key=babcfd68fedd7e2c2xxxx

Hotfix is to add:
profile.php right after the site name.

The fixed link would look like this"

Code:

http://bloodlust.7.forumer.com/profile.php?mode=activate&u=7&act_key=babcfd68fedd7e2c2xxxx

Any news on the cause/fix for this would be great

Thanks in advance

CrazyGirl · 01-14-2005, 08:26 PM

the actvation link i received contains my forum name....but still not work....when i clicked on it...it just like bringing me to the index page.... <_<

this one?

Quote:

If by any chance you set the confirmaton to, "user" the e-mails that are being sent contain an activation link, but, the link does not contain the name of your forum. So, what I'm saying is that the link will have http:// and then the server number. To make the activation link work, the user must include your forum name and a "." befoe the server number.

So, lets say the link looks like this (it probably will not, this is just an example):
QUOTE
http://7.forumer.com/profile.php?mode=acti...&act_key=XXXXXX

you would need to add the red text:
QUOTE
http://Your_Forum_Name.7.forumer.com/profi...&act_key=XXXXXX

We are working on fixing this, but, until then, this is the work-around. smile.gif

That post doesn't apply to what I am seeing. The name/url of my forum is correct but the profile.php text is missing from the activation link.

If you paste it into the link that is in the registration email, it works fine.
