Here's the fix, open /modules/Your_Account/index.php

look for function docookie(bla bla bla)
change this:

Code:

function docookie($setuid, $setusername, $setpass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax) {
$info = base64_encode("$setuid:$setusername:$setpass:$setstorynum:$setumode:$setuorder:$setthold:$setnoscore:$setublockon:$settheme:$setcommentmax");
setcookie("user","$info",time()+2592000);
}

to this

Code:

function docookie($setuser_id, $setusername, $setpass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax) {
$info = base64_encode("$setuser_id:$setusername:$setpass:$setstorynum:$setumode:$setuorder:$setthold:$setnoscore:$setublockon:$settheme:$setcommentmax");
setcookie("user","$info",time()+2592000);
}

as for the new user bug, I found the fix on phpnuke.org.

in the same file, on line 79 change

Code:

userCheck($username, $email);

to

Code:

userCheck($username, $user_email);

Damn! Didn't make a difference. Now I note that I can't login back the super Admin set up at start.

Login Incorrect! Please Try Again...

I'll restart this from scratch again, but thought I'd let u know. THX

This one DID fix the new user registration problem but I still can't login with the info sent in the email

Despite getting the reg email I do not see a new entry in the nuke_users table. But I didn't get any MySQL, ... err messages. Just the anon user in there.

Where would the "Admin" be stored a s a user?

Admin is stored in nuke_authors.

well ur suggestion doesn't stop my original fix from working, so I'll go with it Smile

Just to confirm, the docookie function should look like this:

Code:

function docookie($setuser_id, $setusername, $setuser_pass, $setstorynum, $setumode, $setuorder, $setthold, $setnoscore, $setublockon, $settheme, $setcommentmax) {
$info = base64_encode("$setuser_id:$setusername:$setuser_pass:$setstorynum:$setumode:$setuorder:$setthold:$setnoscore:$setublockon:$settheme:$setcommentmax");
setcookie("user","$info",time()+2592000);
}

$setuser_pass docookie update made. I can log god back in and he is in the authors table and I'm not sure where that problem was before.

But still - I get the new user email but can't log him in and I see only the one anonymous entry in the users table. I get no SQL update errors.

I only counted one place to make the $email change.

Indeed I can log on to sci-factor now. Were there other changes u made?

An odd thing. My server on my PC is named "testserver" (I go to http://testserver/html/index.php ... ). The cookies I get from PHPnuke are named 'testserver.local' (where other programs just send them back named 'testserver'). It seems to me that the browser is sending cookies back anyway (god stays validated, english is used, ...) but I wonder if the appending of ".local" by PHPnuke is causing any problems.

Servername? Hmm, run the analyzer as it reports back the env variable server_name.

good call

I'd misst the changing variables bit in the theme I use too.

My site works fine with the new user reg and password stuff, so I don't know why urs would be any different Phred. I've not made any changes I didn't post on here. Heck, I forgot to make half of the ones I did.
