user self-registration issues

Post by phalon »

I recently downloaded the user self-registration plug-in and then tried it on my own email @yahoo.com just to see how user friendly it was. The link to finalize the registration in the email is cut off right before the = sign and all is accomplishes is taking you to the main page. however you you copy and paste the whole thing into the browser(including the non link stuff that should be part of the link) it works perfect. any ideas how to fix this linking problem?

Yes, that is the problem of browser breaking lines where they shouldn't. Sadly I don't know a way to shorten the URL as all info is basically required.

Sending HTML mails is also a bit complicated and might make problem with user agents.
