Thread: Automatic Activation

I found a thread in here that showed how to allow your users to skip the email confirmation step and be able to log in without it, but they are still not activated in the admin section. For example I made a new profile and logged in, but I couldn't access presence because my membership level wasn't right, or (I wasn't activated). After I activated myself from the admin panel, I was able to see the presence popup work properly.

Does someone know or give a hint where the code is to automatically activate a user?

Admin Panel / Global Settings / Post Moderation

There check "Automatic Profile Acrivation after joining" and save, done.

They mean Activation surely, but dont mind, Boonex are not the best Spellers. *g

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I do have every checkbox checked in the admin>postmoderation section. But when I create a new profile and log in and try to chat, it says that my profile is not activated to allow chat. So yes, I can log in, but I still have to go through the admin panel to activate the person so that they have access to chat or view presence?

When you check the Field Freemode in Pricing and Discounts, it shouldnt affect the Permissions in the Membership Levels anymore.

You should try that for a Test.

If it works then, you can be sure the Problem is somewhere in the Permissions of the Membership Levels.

Now disable the Freemode again and check in the Membership Levels if the corresponding Membership Types you have in use are allowed to chat, this must be given.

For some reason the pricing and discount checkbox always stays checked. If I uncheck it and save changes it automatically checks itself when the page refreshes. I still have to activate the profiles myself. I'm sure there has to be code for this. I'm looking through the code now. membership_levels.inc.php seems close but I don't have any levels, but the code seems like what I should be aiming for... I'm going to keep looking...

I'm having exactly the same issue, is anybody has a solution?

Yes please help someone!

Change your database (GlParams table) from

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO `GlParams` VALUES ('free_mode','on',0,'Site is running in free mode','checkbox','','',NULL); 


to

PHP Code:

INSERT INTO `GlParams` VALUES ('free_mode','',0,'Site is running in free mode','checkbox','','',NULL);

Yes - I have noticed this too....

First - make sure you are using the correct submit button - the one at the top.

Second - after you change this value and save - navigate off the page, and then go back - and you will see it is unchecked.

Update statement that does the same:

Code:

UPDATE `GlParams` SET VALUE ='' WHERE Name ='free_mode'

Note - this is another one of those things we have been asking BoonEx to change in the default SQL file used for installs.... for years now. Almost nobody wants Free Mode on.... in fact, I can't think of a single admin who ever wanted this set to ON.
