Activation email not working correctly

Hi,

 

First of all, Great forum software!!

 

I think I may have fixed an issue with the new registered user activation email option.

 

I have set mine to notify the forum admin of new registrations to be activated. When I register a new user the user gets the email with the username and password. The forum admin gets the link to activate that user.

 

When the forum admin logs into the forum and then clicks on the link to activate the user and error message comes up saying that a variable is not defined in admin_activate.asp "blnSentEmail" on line 134.

 

So I added "Dim blnSentEmail". I then got another error "Forgot the exact message" about functions\functions_send_mail.asp so I added

 

<!--#include file="functions\functions_send_mail.asp" --> just below

<!--#include file="common.asp" -->

 

to admin_activate.asp and now it works perfectly.

 

I am running the latest version 8.01 of the forum on Small Business Server 2003 and configured to use CDOSYS

 

 

Just wondering if anyone else is having a similar problem.

 

The above maybe a workaround if you are having a similar problem. As I say it worked for me.

 

Cheers

Yes after refreshing the page it created the account but the email was never sent.

 

Did you try the above fix? The error message that I couldn't remember might have been the message you are getting.

Before you do though make copies just to be sure.

 

The top lines should read:

 

 

 

And the Dim statement should look like:

 

Dim strPassword   'Needed for login include
Dim strEmailBody  'Holds the email body
Dim blnSentEmail

 

blnActivated = False
blnDbActive = False

 

Hope that fixes your problem.

 

Regards

I Think I told him before and he was going to make the changes in the next release. I will PM him anyway to make sure.

 

I even added the users email address that they registered with so I can see who I should activate or not. This is in Register.asp about line 1042

------------------------------------------------%>------------------------------------------

'Create admin activation email
                         strEmailBody = strTxtHi & ", " & _
                         vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strTxtEmailNewUserRegistered & " " & strMainForumName & "." & _
                         vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strTxtUsername & ": - " & decodeString(strUsername) & _

This sends the admin an activation email that looks like this:
