account activation link problem

(1/12) > >>

Here's last my topic  http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=99735.0

I found half solution for this...
1. When user register from page http://mysite.com, he becomes activation link: http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token=xxxxxx - but it doesn't work (goes to index.php without any information)... but WHEN I correct link to http://WWW.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token=xxxxxx so when I add "WWW" - all is ok and account is activated!
2.When user register from page http://www.mysite.com, he becomes activation link: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token=xxxxxx - but it doesn't work (goes to index.php without any information)... but WHEN I correct link to http://mysite.com/index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token=xxxxxx so when I remove "WWW" - all is ok and account is activated!

what I should to do to repair it?

I've got the same issue on my VM 2.02 + Joomla 2.5.4

I noticed that problem is somewhere in session mechanism (or cookies). When I clear all my cookies for webpage , then I can activate my account via activation link from e-mail. Otherwise this link redirect me to main page. That's way you can activate your accounts for other domain name - your browser treats it as different host and doesn't use the same cookies. It's probably joomla/VM bug or we have got something misconfigured.

Just after register a new user during checkout, this user is automatically logged in (without confirmation. Why?). His activation link won't never work until he is logged in (or cookie exist).

Someone can help us?

There is a known JUser issue in Joomla 2.5.3/4 which has been reported to the Joomla bug squad. This may be related to the problem you see.

Hi,

I have the same issue. I am using joomla 2.5.4 and vm 2.0.7_d.

I didnīt test the registration until now because -normally - itīs such a easy thing.

I do not believe this is a problem related to joomla. The problem is like bajobongo said:
If you register, vm2 still logs the user in after sending the registration form. As long as this user is logged in, you cannot activate your account.
But what does this mean: This means the people will have to close all browser-instances after sending registration form and delete all temporarily internet files (cookies!!!) and then click the activation link.


Bounce rate will be very high. This is worse. This is a no-go. Does anyone have a solution for this?

jenkinhill:
I don't use email confirmation of registration, as the last thing I want during a sale is for a customer to wait for a confirmation email.

I have not tested this with 2.0.7d which is a development version, and not for use on a live site (although some do...)
