Hello everyone,

I am having a few problems trying to install/setup the Website Membership addon. The first issue is:

When a new client attempts register for a new account, the email does not go through and voids the entire application. It then redirects them to this message:
"Mail Error: mail(): SMTP server response: 451 See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html." I have not clue what that is and I haven't done any editing once so ever to the sample signup php. Here is the script just in case you need it:

<?php require_once "cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php"; ?>
<?php if ([url "mailto:!@$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_MEMBERSHIP_PLUGIN'"]!@$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_MEMBERSHIP_PLUGIN'[/url]]) { die("You must activate the Website Membership plugin before you can access this page."); } ?>
<?php

$showSignupForm = true;

// error checking
if (@$CURRENT_USER) {
$errorsAndAlerts = "You are already signed up! <a href='{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_POST_LOGIN_URL']}'>Click here to continue</a>.";
$showSignupForm = false;
}

// process form
if (@$_REQUEST['save']) {

// error checking
$errorsAndAlerts = "";
if ([url "mailto:!@$_REQUEST['fullname'"]!@$_REQUEST['fullname'[/url]]) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your full name!<br/>\n"; }
if ([url "mailto:!@$_REQUEST['email'"]!@$_REQUEST['email'[/url]]) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must enter your email!<br/>\n"; }
else if(!isValidEmail(@$_REQUEST['email'])) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "Please enter a valid email (example: user@example.com)<br/>\n"; }
if ([url "mailto:!@$_REQUEST['username'"]!@$_REQUEST['username'[/url]]) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "You must choose a username!<br/>\n"; }

// check for duplicate usernames and emails
if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
$count = mysql_select_count_from('accounts', "`username` = '".mysql_escape(@$_REQUEST['username'])."'");
if ($count > 0 && @$_REQUEST['username']) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "That username is already in use, please choose another!<br/>\n"; }

$count = mysql_select_count_from('accounts', "'".mysql_escape($_REQUEST['email'])."' IN (email, username)");
if ($count > 0) { $errorsAndAlerts .= "That email is already in use, please choose another!<br/>\n"; }
}

// turn off strict mysql error checking for: STRICT_ALL_TABLES
mysqlStrictMode(false); // disable Mysql strict errors for when a field isn't defined below (can be caused when fields are added later)

// add user
if (!$errorsAndAlerts) {
$_REQUEST['password'] = substr(md5(uniqid(rand(), true)), 15); // example output: c5560251ef0b3eef9

mysql_query("INSERT INTO `{$TABLE_PREFIX}accounts` SET
fullname = '".mysql_escape( $_REQUEST['fullname'] )."',
email = '".mysql_escape( $_REQUEST['email'] )."',
username = '".mysql_escape( $_REQUEST['username'] )."',
password = '".mysql_escape( $_REQUEST['password'] )."',

disabled = '0',
isAdmin = '0',
expiresDate = '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
neverExpires = '1',
createdDate = NOW(),
updatedDate = NOW(),
createdByUserNum = '0',
updatedByUserNum = '0'")
or die("MySQL Error Creating Record:<br/>\n". htmlspecialchars(mysql_error()) . "\n");
$userNum = mysql_insert_id();

// create accesslist entry
// replace '_sample' with the table you want the user to access
// replace '6' with the access level they should have: 0=none, 6=author, 9=editor
// replace '1' with the max listings they are allowed
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `{$TABLE_PREFIX}_accesslist`
(userNum, tableName, accessLevel, maxRecords, randomSaveId)
VALUES ($userNum, 'all', '1', NULL, '1234567890'),
($userNum, '_sample', '6', 1, '1234567890'),
($userNum, '_sample', '6', 1, '1234567890'),
($userNum, '_sample', '6', 1, '1234567890')") or die("MySQL Error Creating Access List:<br/>\n". htmlspecialchars(mysql_error()) . "\n");

//
_websiteLogin_sendSignupMessage();
$errorsAndAlerts = "Thanks, We've created an account for you and emailed you your password.<br/><br/>\n";
$errorsAndAlerts .= "If you don't receive an email from us within a few minutes check your spam filter for messages from {$SETTINGS['adminEmail']}<br/><br/>\n";
$errorsAndAlerts .= "<a href='{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']}'>Click here to login</a>.";

$_REQUEST = array(); // clear form values
$showSignupForm = false;
}
}

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</form>
<?php endif ?>
<!-- /USER SIGNUP FORM -->

</body>

The Second issue I am having is trying to add new fields to my membership signup page. I need a detailed description "step by step" process onto HOW to make such changes. I need the form to ask the same questions like this www.theugpa.com/join.html I will be honest, I have little to none PHP or ASP programming skills at all. I thought this program was suppost to be easy but so far I am having trouble understanding how it works. I have read the documents given and have attempted to do as much as I can but still find I need some additional help.



Thanks so much!

Alex

Hi Alex,

It looks like the issue is with your server, not the plugin. You should contact your hosting provider and ask them to make sure that the server is set up correctly for PHP to use the mail() function.

Give this a try. Let me know if you run into any further issues.

Hope this helps.
