Hi All,

Is there a way such that the customer right after sign-up page, he can receive the card alias,pass word etc... instantly on the same page instead of getting it from the email that the system send ? thanks

So do you want to bypass email confirmation and give customer's access to their account - or both - have email confirmation to activate account and display cardnumber/cardalias/passsword and etc.?????

Sometimes the email confirmation get blocked by the internet provider so I would prefer an email confirmation + display (post ) cardnumber/cardalias/passsword on the same page as soon as a customer done with signing up. Which file is responsible for sending a message to a customer screen display telling the them of an activation email being sent to their mailbox ?

Never mind, I modified signup_confirmation.php to make this change !

Before

<?php }else{ ?>

<?php echo $list[0][2]; ?> <?php echo $list[0][1]; ?>, <?php echo gettext("thank you for registering with us!");?> 
<?php echo gettext("An activation email has been sent to"); ?> <?php echo $list[0][3]; ?> 

<?php } ?>

After

<?php }else{ ?>

<?php echo $list[0][2]; ?> <?php echo $list[0][1]; ?>, <?php echo gettext("thank you for registering with us!");?> 
<?php echo gettext("An email has been sent to you for a record "); ?> 
<?php echo gettext("your user name is: ");?><?php echo $list[0][3]; ?> 
<?php echo gettext("Your password is: ");?><?php echo $list[0][4]; ?> 
<?php echo gettext("Please, write down your password and go to this website http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/a2customer/"); ?> 

<?php } ?>

Hi ...

in A2b.conf there are two options regarding the confirmation:

activated = no (default)
activatedbyuser = no (default)

if you set the first one to yes, the account is created as active account (did not try it actually).

as for the second one, if you set it to no, you will get an email asking you to confirm and then another email after confirmation.

if you set it to yes then you only receive the second email.

in both cases, the email will say your account is activated, and

In both cases, the account is not activated !!!

I checked the activate.php module and found that it is updating the filed activatedbyuser only (there is another field which is also related "activated")

Code:

    $QUERY = "UPDATE cc_card SET  activatedbyuser = 't' WHERE ( loginkey = '".$key."' ) ";
    $result = $instance_sub_table -> SQLExec ($HD_Form -> DBHandle, $QUERY, 0);

I think adding another query to modify the (activated) field as well will solve the problem ...

Areski, Asiby, Stavors ... please comment .. is this how thinks should go or i am missing something.??

I'm not 100% sure, as I've not taken the time to verify by reading the code, but my understanding is you want both set to yes. The account won't be fully active until the user clicks the confirmation link in the email, but at that point they should be ready to login and make calls.

Thank you Stavors for the quick reply.. and thank you again (you and Asiby) for being my mentors, i've been reading your posts in the forum and learning alot.!

:roll:

What i am facing is the following:

Setting the first option to (no) because i want the e-mail activation process.
As for the second option i tried both setting to (yes) and (no)

(yes) .. i got an e-mail saying the account is activated. i tried to login but could not (account is being blocked).. in the Admin interface i can see the account is not activated.

(no) .. i got an e-mail asking to follow a link for activation.. after follwing i got i page saying the account is active now as well as an e-mail similar to the one in the (yes) case. again i can not log in and the admin interface is showing that the account is not active.

in both cases i had to change the status of the account to (active) from the admin interface so that i can log in (as a user) and use it.

So i tried to follow the page which is involved (activate.php).. and found the code that i posted above .. it is updating the field (activatedbyuser) and leaving the (activated) field which is related to the account status in the admin interface.

I added another query involving the (activated) field and it worked..

before :

Code:

if(isset($key) && $list[0][8]=="f")
{

    $QUERY = "UPDATE cc_card SET  activatedbyuser = 't' WHERE ( loginkey = '".$key."' ) ";
    $result = $instance_sub_table -> SQLExec ($HD_Form -> DBHandle, $QUERY, 0);
    
    
}

after :

Code:

if(isset($key) && $list[0][8]=="f")
{

    $QUERY = "UPDATE cc_card SET  activatedbyuser = 't' WHERE ( loginkey = '".$key."' ) ";
    $result = $instance_sub_table -> SQLExec ($HD_Form -> DBHandle, $QUERY, 0);
    
    $QUERY = "UPDATE cc_card SET  activated = 't' WHERE ( loginkey = '".$key."' ) ";
    $result = $instance_sub_table -> SQLExec ($HD_Form -> DBHandle, $QUERY, 0);
}

I admit that i am below the beginner in php, feel like wondering in the dark with a cigarette lighter.. i am not sure if i placed the new code in the right place and it is not going to interact with other pieces from the original code.

Hmmm... that's odd. It could do with being tidying up a little, if that's the way things currently work.
I can't see that your code would produce any problems, but I'm a newbie to PHP myself. You could word it with slightly less duplication:

Code:

if(isset($key) && $list[0][8]=="f")
{

    $QUERY = "UPDATE cc_card SET  activatedbyuser = 't', activated = 't' WHERE ( loginkey = '".$key."' ) ";
    $result = $instance_sub_table -> SQLExec ($HD_Form -> DBHandle, $QUERY, 0);
}
