version 5.7.2.1 - "Not a member? Register" button not working

Permalink
Hi Everyone,

I'm creating a website that can only be accessed by members, with the option to register.

The registration was working well until yesterday afternoon. When I click on the button it loops the user back to the login page.

I've tried the other 2 domains that we just installed C5 on and they all have the same issues. Same issue with different computers and browsers.

Here's a URL to one of the sites we are developing -http://workcationist.com/dev/index.php/login...

Does anyone experience the same problem and is there a quick and easy fix? Hope that someone gets back with a solution very soon. Thanks in advance.

This sounds like a bug. I think the Register page is inheriting its permissions from the home page, instead of having its own permissions set. To fix this you'll have to enable advanced permissions from the dashboard, go into the Sitemap, show system pages, find the "Register" page in the sitemap and edit its permissions. Then, choose to override the home page permissions there, and swap the "Registered Users" group out for the View Page permission for the Guest group.

I'll add a bug report for this so we can fix it in the next version.

The workaround helps. Thanks Andrew.

I am having a similar issue, well I think it is.

I have created a number of custom attributes in the Members registration as I want to capture additional information (Firstname, Surname etc) when a user registers.

Whenever the submit button is pressed the registration form just loops and doesnt do anything. I have entered fresh information, duplicated existing user information, but it does the same thing everytime.

Could this be related to the Advanced Permissions that you have already mentioned Andrew?

Did you find a solution to this? We're having the same issue - we've added quite a few attributes to the Register page and now when you click the Register button the Register form just reloads, with no error message and all the fields still populated.

We've looked at the permissions for the Register page and guests can view it, so I guess it's not related to that. If anyone is experiencing the same or has any ideas the following might be useful:

- We're running Concrete 5.7.4.2
- It's also a site that is inaccessible to guests
- It's intermittent, sometimes working in our office but not our client's and vice versa
- It's unpredictable, there doesn't seem to be any connection (browser etc.) between the times it doesn't work
- Even if the form should generate an error (say you missed a required field) it doesn't
- The browser offers to save the username & password, so the browser knows the form was submitted
- The issue seems to be that when /application/single_pages/register.php reloads, the $registerSuccess variable is null

Version 5.7.4.2 is over 10 months old. I would consider updating to the most current version to see if this addresses the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion MrKDilkington, much appreciated

Upgrading was going to be our last resort as it's a very large site with a lot of overrides and packages, so the amount of testing will be huge. Our second to last resort will be to build our own register form. I'm hoping we don't have to do either :P

Thanks again
