    Posted: 05 June 2006 at 11:26pm
I'm running (and just configuring) 8.02.
 
With the registration form set to the short version, the page errors out with:
 
 
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occured while writing to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.
 
Support Error Code:- err_mySQL_register_USR
File Name:- register.asp
 
Error details:-
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.22-community-nt]Field 'Signature' doesn't have a default value
 
 
The signature field in MySQL is set to "Not Null", which seems to be the problem, it's rejecting the insert because there is no signature field in the short registration form.
 
I can fix this by setting the database field to allowing null entries, but by doing so am I introducing any other problems?
 
Thanks!

Yes you would be.

mySQL with the myODBC driver can be buggy and one of those bugs is that when the signature field is set to 'null' certain database updates then fail to work.

The best thing to do is set the signature field to be populated with nothing, rather than have it as a null field, this seems to fix the issue.

Try setting line 907 of register.asp after the Else part to:-

.Fields("Signature") = strSignature

If it fixes the issue please let me know.

Many thanks, I'll give that a try later and let you know how it goes.  I'm fairly sure that should do the trick.

Actually, now I've updated the code it didn't help.
 
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.22-community-nt]Field 'Attach_signature' doesn't have a default value
 
So still the same error.  The long registration form is fine, the short one errors out.

Try setting a default value for the tblAuthor Signature field in the mySQL database. Just having it blank will fix the issue.
