Hello everyone,
I have upgraded the following site: https://www.arosworld.org from PHPFusion 7.03 to 9.03 a few months ago. All seems to work fine but the new user registration does not seem to work at all. I have verified the SMTP settings and have tried several variations. The settings in there are correct and I have also verified them via www.smtper.net. Auth credentials, port, host name are all correct. I am able to establish an SMTP connection and send a test emails with the settings in place (Note: this was working fine before on version 7.03).

Now for some reason when a new user tries to request an account, when they click on Register, nothing happens, the page just refreshes back to the new user registration form. No error is displayed that I can see. Nothing. No email is sent and no account is created from what i can search in the user management.

Any idea?? I have been down for months and users are unable to register. Login with current accounts works, at least with mine.

Please help! Try logging in yourself to test.

Heya, nice site there !

So let´s start looking at ADMIN > SYSTEM ADMIN > ERROR LOG , See if you have anything in there.
Double check so that the registration system is enabled, ADMIN > SETTINGS > REGISTRATION SETTINGS
Also try to disable the Display validation code? , if you have an outdated verification system.
You can switch the verification under ADMIN > SETTINGS > SECURITY SETTINGS ( Captcha ), if you use an old one it can cause issues.

Hi Falk,

Thank you for your reply. You were correct about the captcha messing things up. During the upgrade, there were leftover files from old captcha options. I cleaned the files under \includes\captcha and re-uploaded the newer files again. I started having different errors such as email was not sent, etc. I changed the account for the SMTP connection and I managed to register one account as it was intended to be registered but using the secure image v3 option.
I decided to use the grecaptcha and things stopped working. I generated new site key and site code from google (version 3) but I am back to square one. If I use the secure image it does the same friggin thing, if I use the recaptcha, it shows error: ERROR for site owner: Invalid key type.

Changed back to secure image v3 and this is error: Undefined index: recaptcha_type
echo form_select('recaptcha_type', $locale['grecaptcha_0103'], $settings['recaptcha_type'], [
Line 192 -- 29 seconds ago
Undefined index: recaptcha_type

The user registration now seems to work OK. I upgraded to 9.03.60

Is there any reason why this shows up in my error logs? Posting replies in my Forums seems to trigger the error in the attached image.

Also the reply to forum threads seem to only work sporadically. Most times, just flashes the screen

Hi, modify as necessary the commented parts. Upload to your root directory. Run the file.

modify.php

Code Download source

<?php
require_once __DIR__."/maincore.php";
require_once THEMES."templates/header.php";

$data = array(
 "field_title" => 'a:1:{s:7:"English";s:8:"Location";}',
 "field_name" => "user_location",
 "field_cat" => "1", // or set the category where the field should be placed
 "field_type" => "location", // dynamics type, or if you have a UF_Location module, use "file" instead,
 "field_order" => 1,
 "field_section" => "public"
);
if (iSUPERADMIN) {
 dbquery_insert(DB_USER_FIELDS, $data, "save"); 
}

require_once THEMES."templates/footer.php";

Check your Settings under Admin > Security > Form Tokens and increase these to 5-10.

Great! Thanks Falk. That seems to do the trick on post reply but if I post and then I edit it to delete the post, It does the same thing. Screen just flashes back but nothing happens. Sometimes it deletes the post after 3, 4 clicks other times the flooding system blocks me because of the many attempts.

BTW: Shoutbox also has a problem on my brand new install. Standard member cannot post in shoutbox. Page just flashes back but nothing happens. I have the form tokens set to 10.

As long as user has a working email intact, you can ask him to reset his password. He will receive mail from your site, and click at that link and he will just need to type in a new password.
