problems with invitation

nanahuatzin

I set my installation to required an invitation, but some invitations fail, for example:

One invitation has this link:

https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=38&email=verificiencia@paralax.com.mx Works ok, it takes my to the register page.

But another has this links, that tries to use Joomla registration, that is disabled:

https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=31&email=Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com

I can´t figure why.

Hi
When user is set for Invitation only kindly set the user registration to NO in Joomla user options : http://prntscr.com/11k0ufw
It will not open the registration page.

If it remain same kindly submit a temp super user login in edit fields options. I will do a test with my gmail id.

nanahuatzin

Yes that is my setting:

I put the login info.

Thanks

Some emails work, other don´t.
I asked the user

To try again, the mail has the link:
https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=45&email=Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com

And reports:

I dónt understand why some mails work, but no others... 🙁

Seems found the reason but I think it´s a bug

This links gives an error:
https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=45&email=Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com

But this not:
https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=47&email=Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com

Checking at the database at community_user_invites found that the first was registered as:
"Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com " and the seconds as "Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com".

There is a trailing space in the first email. It seems that when the user puts accidentally a blank space that is not removed, so when system check if the ID of the invitation corresponds to the email, they do not correspond.

Hi
It showing a duplicate entry in the DB. I tried but this not found in the fresh package. Kindly remove the user and check if this issue back again. As this problem is happen only with this user on your site.
The user registered 2 times on your site with different username.

Removing duplicates does not change the problem, since each entry has a different ID.
( y already try it)

The problem is that some users leave a trailing space in the email. For example If i remove manually the trailing space in the entry for ID 45 it would work.

https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=45&email=Kualtzinvejar8@gmail.com

Others users have the same problem.

For example, this user now works after I manually removed the space in his email. Originally it was "pretty.woman.94.b@gmail.com "

https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=26&email= Origiunally it was "pretty.woman.94.b@gmail.com

On the other hand in this user I still have not fix the poblem.

https://animatered.com/register.html?inv_only_id=22&email=madecita_sq@hotmail.com

Remember this is not the "register" but the "invite".

Hi
Your site has custom override for the email template and language values.
Kindly restore them to original and let me know if it still exist.
The email pretty women you added in last past appear same to me no space : http://prntscr.com/11oel7x Possible chances its customization issue on your site with email file and language values.

Here on demo i enabled the invitation option https://js-main.demo.jomsocial.com/
You can do a request with an email and let me know if there is problem exist.

nanahuatzin

Understood. I will try. Thanks

I created a clean test site (with the same user and password, and no cron jobs activated),

http://testsite.animatered.com/index.php/jomsocial

If I request an invitation with an email like this "Elnauhual@gmail.com " (with a trailing space
the invitation does not work:

http://testsite.animatered.com/index.php/jomsocial/register?inv_only_id=1&email=Elnauhual@gmail.com

But if I put a email withouth spaces "verificiencia@paralax.com.mx" it works.

http://testsite.animatered.com/index.php/jomsocial/register?inv_only_id=2&email=verificiencia@paralax.com.mx

The input field for email should clean any space put accidentally by the users.

Hi
Any email on web does not work if it has a space, its invalid.
I shared it with dev team about the space issue after email and update you soon here.

nanahuatzin

Unfortunatelly many of my subscriptors are leaving accidentally blank spaces after the email.
Currently I am cleaning directly the DataBase to remove those spaces.

Thanks you in advance.

I shared it with dev team member to look for an option for the space issue. Its something should not be added by default.

nanahuatzin

To resolve the issue, temporarily I made a change in the script

controler/registerinvite.php

There I changed line 80 from:

$registerintiveTable->email = $post['jsemail'];

To:

$registerintiveTable->email = str_replace(' ', '',$post['jsemail']);

This has solved my problem. If there is any other suggestion it will be welcome.
