Webauction - Unable to register an account

[ronnie]

Hi there, when I go through the account registration process I don't recieve an account activation email. Therefore no new users can use the system.

My collegue installed the webauction app initially but I am unable to contact him and so I am pretty much starting fresh here.

Can someone please tell me what needs to happen in order for new user account registrations to go through properly?

Thanks for your help

Update:

I found the following documentation regarding new registrations http://xataface.com/documentation/how-t ... gistration

And part way down the document it mentions that you can switch off email validation so that new users are able login directly after registration.

This is ideal in this case so I added the following code to my actions.ini file as instructed [register > register]email_validation=0 but it hasn't changed anything and I am still being prompted for email validation.

Is there anything else I can do here?

It appears to be working now in that registration requires no email validation. Very cool.

Thank you Steve for all your hard work

You may want to double check to make sure that PHP is sending email ok on your server. If it wasn't sending activation emails, that means it may not be sending notification emails either (to notify people when they are outbid, etc..).

You should be able to find some good resources either in this forum or on google (e.g. search for "PHP test mail", or something like that) for strategies to make sure that PHP is able to send mail ok.
