Error sending mail: mailer error
I can't figure out what this error even means, or where it's coming from. I grep'ed for the text and didn't find anything in the folder containing the ConfirmAccount code. What's the cause of this error? How can I fix it?

"efCheckIfAccountNameIsPending failed to return a value; "
Seems like I'm missing something obvious here, but so far not seeing it. Have upgraded wiki to latest release (1.15.4), and re-installed fresh versions of both ConfirmAccount and ConfirmEdit. ReCaptcha is not being used. Here's what I get when a user clicks the "submit" button:

Internal Error Detected bug in an extension! Hook efCheckIfAccountNameIsPending failed to return a value; should return true to continue hook processing or false to abort.

This looks like something reported below that was supposed to be fixed, so I'm assuming I probably have something out of sync, but I can't find it -- any guidance would be most appreciated. On a bit of a deadline here, of course ;)

Thanks!

Ok, got this working ... here's what I had to do with MW 1.15.4 to get it working.

(1) install latest ConfirmEdit.

(2) install latest TRUNK version of ConfirmAccount -- NOT the 1.15 release (this has not been fixed, apparently).

(3) Hand edit the ConfirmAccount.sql file to specify database table prefix, then run maintenance/update.php -- note this is different from install instructions...

(4) follow install instructions for 1.16 -- not 1.15 -- in other words, use the extensions/ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount.php in LocalSettings.php, NOT SpecialConfirmAccount.

At this point, every thing seems to be working, will report back if not.


 * Under MW 1.15.5 I get problems with TRUNK and 1.15 BRANCH.  Branch gets above error and trunk fails to show correct login / request register dialog.

Using template on "bio" section"?
Hi! First of all: This extension is great! But I have a little problem. I´m trying to use an existing wiki template on the "bio" section. Is this posible? The goal is that the information that the new users inputs on the bio (and, the template), they can get their "users profiles" almost ready. Thanks!!! --Tango granada 01:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Any ideas??
Same issue, I putzed around with the PHP, but now it loads the 'template' I created at load-time and at submit time, so even if the user requesting the account filled in the details as needed, it gets replaced by the template text.

Bureaucrat's do not have permission to confirm an account.
Permission error when trying to confirm an account with User 'bureaucrat'. I see the file "SpecialConfirmAccount.php", and this has a line of code to configure the group bureaucrats. In file: $wgGroupPermissions['bureaucrat']['confirmaccount'] = true;
 * 1) Grant account queue rights

The account then I try confirm is the admin of wiki. They have bureaucrats group add. So, i have something more to do?

Email sent with password contains line I would like to remove
The email sent out with username and password contains the line "Welcome to the forums. Thank you for your interest in joining our forum." by default. How do I remove this? I've tried looking at MediaWiki:confirmaccount-email-body (2,3,4,5,6) but that line doesn't appear to be present and I would like to remove it. --90.192.146.115 13:06, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Installing reCAPTCHA with ConfirmAccount
Just a little public service for those trying to do what I've done:
 * 1) Create a private wiki using these guidelines: Manual:Preventing_access
 * 2) Use Extension:ConfirmAccount to set up an account request queue
 * 3) Use Extension:reCAPTCHA to keep the bots from filling up my account request queue

First off, after adding Extension:ConfirmAccount and Extension:reCAPTCHA to my installation, I went to test. Starting at my Main_Page, I clicked log in, then clicked the Create an account link to request an account. But it took me right back to Main_Page. Clearly, not the desired effect. After cursing a little and pondering the meaning of life, I recalled that when I worked on LocalSettings.php to restrict viewing, editing and account creation, those configuration flags included $wgWhitelistRead (see Manual:Preventing_access). Naturally, "Special:UserLogin&type=signup" (usually called "Special:RequestAccount" on standard MediaWiki installs) wasn't in the list. Duh. Added that in to LocalSettings.php, FTP'd it over to the server and voilà! Fixed. Sort of.

After figuring out how to let an anonymous user get to the account request page, I moved on to a more serious issue. I was getting an error on the screen that pointed to Extension:ConfirmEdit as the culprit. The errors looked pretty much like this:
 * Extension_talk:ConfirmAccount

While Extension:reCAPTCHA was installed (but not working), Extension:ConfirmEdit wasn't. The Extension:ConfirmAccount and Extension:reCAPTCHA gurus know this (of course, I didn't), but Extension:reCAPTCHA is really a combination of some .php files from the reCAPTCHA people at Carnegie Mellon University and some other .php files for Extension:ConfirmEdit. You can either run Extension:ConfirmEdit (with it's very basic text CAPTCHA implementation) or the more sophisticated Extension:reCAPTCHA (with graphical CAPTCHAs), but not both.

After much trial n' error, Googling and a piecing together comments HERE, HERE and HERE, I figured out that I needed to use the ConfirmEdit.php file from Extension:ConfirmEdit instead of the file with the same name supplied with the reCAPTCHA download. I also needed to add the ConfirmEdit_body.php file from Extension:ConfirmEdit as this file is not in the Extension:reCAPTCHA package.

I re-downloaded both Extensions just to make sure I had clean, un-edited .php files (I had been experimenting with several files as I did my trial n' error), then replaced the ConfirmEdit.php and ConfirmEdit_body.php files in the Extension:reCAPTCHA package with those from the Extension:ConfirmEdit package. I deleted the /your_wiki's_root/extensions/recaptcha directory on the server, FTP'd over a new /recaptcha directory with the correct files and everything came up as desired.

Hope this helps someone else down the road.

Problems using this with SQLite
I'm having a bear of a time getting this to play nice with an SQLite backend. To start, the .sql script is for MySQL. That is mostly solved except for the account_credentials table having two primary keys, which isn't supported in SQlite.

Then, for some reason none of the database requests work. I can submit a request, it gets committed to the database, but it won't be read/counted properly for some reason.

Anyone got experience using it with SQLite?

Got it working with SQLite
To get this extension working with SQLite, I had to edit ConfirmAccount.sql: CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/account_requests (   acr_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,    acr_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default ,    acr_real_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default ,    acr_email tinytext NOT NULL,    acr_email_authenticated BLOB(14) default NULL,    acr_email_token BLOB(32),    acr_email_token_expires BLOB(14),    acr_bio mediumblob NOT NULL,    acr_notes mediumblob NOT NULL,    acr_urls mediumblob NOT NULL,    acr_ip VARCHAR(255) NULL default ,    acr_filename VARCHAR(255) NULL,    acr_storage_key VARCHAR(64) NULL,    acr_type tinyint(255) default 0,    acr_areas mediumblob NOT NULL,    acr_registration char(14) NOT NULL,    acr_deleted bool NOT NULL,    acr_rejected BLOB(14),    acr_held BLOB(14),    acr_user INTEGER NOT NULL default 0,    acr_comment varchar(255) NOT NULL default ,    UNIQUE (acr_name),    UNIQUE (acr_email),    UNIQUE (acr_email_token)  ); CREATE INDEX acr_type_del_reg on /*$wgDBprefix*/account_requests(acr_type,acr_deleted,acr_registration); CREATE TABLE /*$wgDBprefix*/account_credentials (   acd_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,    acd_user_id INTEGER NOT NULL,    acd_real_name varchar(255) NOT NULL default ,    acd_email tinytext NOT NULL,    acd_email_authenticated BLOB(14) default NULL,    acd_bio mediumblob NOT NULL,    acd_notes mediumblob NOT NULL,    acd_urls mediumblob NOT NULL,    acd_ip VARCHAR(255) NULL default ,    acd_filename VARCHAR(255) NULL,    acd_storage_key VARCHAR(64) NULL,    acd_areas mediumblob NOT NULL,    acd_registration char(14) NOT NULL,    acd_accepted BLOB(14),    acd_user INTEGER NOT NULL default 0,    acd_comment varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',    UNIQUE (acd_id)  );

I saved this to a file (e.g., ConfirmAccount_SQLite.sql) and loaded the new tables to the SQLite database with: sqlite3 wikiDB.sqlite < ConfirmAccount_SQLite.sql

To get it working, I also had to make one small edit to the code. Apparently, SQLite doesn't like to set a default value for NOT NULL columns. So, I added this line to the account_requests insert query in RequestAccount_body.php (around line 384):

'acr_deleted' => 0,

I haven't tested everything, but the basic functionality seems to be working now.

Problem with "position" titles starting with the same letter
I am experiencing a problem that is preventing me from having the "position" labels starting with the same letter. Basically, you can not have two position titles that start with the same letter. (Example: "Reader" and "Reviewer")

Sample synerio:
 * A user requests an account with the position of "reviewer."
 * Admin navigates to Special:ConfirmAccounts to confirm the pending account.
 * Admin clicks "open requests" for "reviewers" (second queue listed) you are brought to the "readers" queue.

I noticed that the url that you are sent to is represented by the first letter of the position. Example: xxxxx/Special:ConfirmAccounts/r&ShowHeld

NOTE: If there is only one default position group (array is commented out) then you are sent to: xxxxx/Special:ConfirmAccounts/reviewers&ShowHeld

Can the "open request" links be formatted to always use the entire position name, not just the first letter?

Sorry for the over explaining..I know it is a strange sounding problem.

Thanks in advance,

 * -Dgennaro 21:03, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I thought you wanted something different. The above code would make a 'reader' queue and the approved users are in the 'reviewer' group. If you want a 'reader' and 'reviewer' queue, then you want:

Error when confirming email account
I am receiving an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when a potential user clicks the link provided in the "Email Confirmation" email.

I am running MediaWiki 1.14.0 with ConfirmAccount 1.46 (x1.15).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. -Dgennaro 22:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I've heard Zend Optimizer can cause 500s. Redirects to invalid URLs can cause thus too. The apache and PHP error logs may have useful info. By the way, did you ever fix the $wgAccountRequestTypes value? Aaron 04:06, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did. The advice worked perfect! I must have forgotten to post.


 * I tried using the 1.14x version of ConfirmAccount also with no success. My next step today was to check out the PHP and IIS error logs. I am determined to make this extension work for me! I will post an update with my findings.


 * Just to recap...what is happening is: the user requests an account and they receive an email to confirm their email address and when the user clicks the link within the email they receive a HTTP 500 error, but when I look in the database their email address has been confirmed. This would be fine, but I added the bit of code in that enables the "admin" to receive an email when there is a pending user account for approval...this step is not happening. I am assuming that the HTTP 500 error is not allowing this step to happen since the email confirmation step was not "fully completed." Do you think I am on the right track?


 * Thanks again! -Dgennaro 13:20, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

How to let a user edit his biography (that is not confirmed yet)?
I do not really get the meaning of the "Hold" option when confirming account requests. When I choose this option, then an email with the following contents is sent to the email address requesting the account: Before your request for an account "Klaus Mustermann" can be accepted on Wiki you must first provide some additional information.

 Your biography needs editing. Please add your birth date, place, address, etc.

There may be contact lists on site that you can use if you want to know more about user account policy.

Now, assuming that the person wants to edit his/her biography according to my request, how can he/she do it? Is it possible at all? If not, what is the point of the "Hold" option?

Not receiving any email to administrator after the email address is confirmed
Even after setting (either directly in SpeciaConfirmationAccount.php or in LocalSettings.php) : $wgConfirmAccountContact = 'myemail@example.com' That administrator does not receive any email notification once the user confirmed his email address. Looking at the archives, seems like it was a problem already before and there is no answer there.

I am using mediawiki 1.15.2, the extension from 1.15.x branch. Even if I enable debug messages, I don't see it complaining about anything. Help please !


 * I have this same problem, although I am going to try it with an email address rather than the way I have it which is:
 * $wgConfirmAccountContact = true

Doesn't respect $wgDBprefix
Using trunk as of 2010/04/18 & just wanted to point out, the setup steps are not quite correct.

1. they do not take into account if you are using $wgDBprefix in your settings. I had to run these mysql statements to post-fix: mysql> rename table account_requests to mw_account_requests; mysql> rename table account_credentials to mw_account_credentials;

2. The include in LocalSettings.php is (now) actually require_once("$IP/extensions/ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount.php");

—- The missing step that solves #1 above is you have to edit ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount.sql and perform a change as the remark there says: (this is actually included within the "Setup" steps as "substituting db prefix")

-- Replace /*$wgDBprefix*/ with the proper prefix

Problem with Special:UserCredentials
The display isn't right! Here is what it looks like:


 * If I go to Special:UserCredentials:
 * the page title shows as &amp;lt;usercredentials&amp;gt;
 * there is a box with the title , and an input field with the title &amp;lt;usercredentials-user&amp;gt;


 * When I type in a username, it goes to the display page:
 * If the user does not exist (or existed before ConfirmAccount was installed - which is only 3 accounts on my wiki) the message reads &amp;lt;usercredentials-badid&amp;gt;
 * If the user does exists and was confirmed, the following is displayed:
 * 

&amp;lt;usercredentials-leg-user&amp;gt;Username: test &amp;lt;usercredentials-email&amp;gt; test@xxxxx.com &amp;lt;confirmaccount-leg-areas&amp;gt; &amp;lt;usercredentials-leg-person&amp;gt;&amp;lt;usercredentials-real&amp;gt; Test Name

"biography will be set as default userpage" even though $wgMakeUserPageFromBio=false
(Applies to ConfirmAccount 1.46)

When setting $wgMakeUserPageFromBio to false (meaning "don't set the person's bio as his/her userpage"), the page Special:RequestAccount still claims that "Your biography will be set as the default content for your userpage" (first sentence of box "personal information").

To remove this inconsistency, two files have to be changed in ConfirmAccount 1.46: $form .= wfMsgExt( 'requestaccount-bio-text', array('parse') )."\n"; by global $wgMakeUserPageFromBio; if ( $wgMakeUserPageFromBio ) { $form .= wfMsgExt( 'requestaccount-bio-text1', array('parse') )."\n"; } $form .= wfMsgExt( 'requestaccount-bio-text2', array('parse') )."\n"; The modified file is available at my web site.
 * ConfirmAccount/RequestAccount_body.php: Replace the line
 * ConfirmAccount/ConfirmAccount.i18n.php: The requestaccount-bio-text has to be split into requestaccount-bio-text1 and requestaccount-bio-text2 for all languages. This new version of ConfirmAccount.i18n.php is available at my web site . For a few languages (most notably Chinese) I was not sure where to split the text. In these cases I left requestaccount-bio-text1 empty and renamed requestaccount-bio-text to requestaccount-bio-text2; this way the new version behaves the same as the old one (well, almost, see below).

Note: When $wgMakeUserPageFromBio is true, a line break is inserted between the two parts of the bio-text, which was not there before applying the patch. This is caused by the extra call to wfMsgExt, which wraps p-tags around the text. Maybe some knowledgeable person gets rid of this extra paragraph. Or we declare the new formatting to be the preferred one.

log of actions other than approval
When an account is not approved, instead being actioned as 'Reject', 'Hold' or 'Spam', these actions should be in a log somewhere, but I can't see a log. I think the log should be private, like the suppression log, and only accessible to people with the permission to approve accounts. Is this an RFE ? John Vandenberg 08:11, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Internationalisation does not work
Latest SVN code from http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ConfirmAccount (revision 75783) installed in MW1.15.5 produces no internationalisation (i18n) text.

Instead, the raw tags are printed.

It appears the line ... wfLoadExtensionMessages('ConfirmAccount'); ... is missing from __construct in the files ConfirmAccount_body.php and UserCredentials_body.php

Adding this line to both files fixes the problem.

Database error
I followed the first two steps, however was unsure about this step:

''Run maintenance/update.php (run ConfirmAccount.sql if not possible, substituting db prefix and options) mysql -h DB_HOST -u WIKIUSER -p WIKIDB < ConfirmAccount.sql''

I tried a few things however this error still occured.

The error message below would show when you click on "Request Account" on the registration page.

''A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: (SQL query hidden) from within function "efCheckIfAccountNameIsPending". Database returned error "1146: Table ' .account_requests' doesn't exist ".'' Any help please?

Installed confirm account extension, but now people cannot see my web page

 * ConfirmAccount doesn't change 'read' permissions...you must have some other setting/extension causing this. Aaron 06:42, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand, but everything I've seen in my localsettings.php file says that anonymous viewers should be able to view the pages, yet they cannot. Plus, I've noticed that anonymous users can view other pages just fine, but some pages like the main page, they cannot see that. My wiki is www.asylumprojects.org.  I'm not sure what to do and if you don't know or this isn't the place, please point me to the place where I can go.  We decided we needed this extension after a massive spammer attack which has been going on for over a couple days now with no end in sight without us implementing this change.  Edit: I think I've localized it just to just the main page not showing, plus I've noticed that there seems to be an issue with the preview button too on the main page, where if an editor his preview after editing, they get a blank page.
