How do guests register? I can't seem to find any link, page, or form.

You add ?goto=register to the address, or if you're friendly URLs /register/

Also if you're upgrading from 3.1 you'll need to edit the template you're using and add the code for the registration form.

Code:

Fill out the form below to register an account.<br /><br />
{errormessage}
<form method="post" action="" id="registrationform" name="registrationform">
<div style="float: left; width: 150px">Username:</div><input type="text" name="registrationusername" id="registrationusername" value="{username}" /><br />
<div style="float: left; width: 150px">Email:</div><input type="text" name="registrationemail" id="registrationemail" value="{email}" /><br />
<div style="float: left; width: 150px">Password:</div><input type="password" name="registrationpassword1" id="registrationpassword1" /><br />
<div style="float: left; width: 150px">Confirm Password:</div><input type="password" name="registrationpassword2" id="registrationpassword2" /><br />
<div style="float: left; width: 150px">Security Key:</div><img src="news/image.php" /> <input type="text" name="registrationskey" id="registrationskey" style="width: 50px" /><br />

<div style="float: left; padding-left: 150px"><input type="submit" name="register_submit" value="Create Account" /></div>
<br style="clear: both" />
</form>

Thank you for your help, you've made a great script. But I found a small bug.

After you sign up it shows you this message "Your account has been created, you can now login here."

"login here" sends yu to the worng page this page http://dev.network-13.com/news/. The error appears to be in the file named langmsg.php in the 7th line from the bottom.

I've taken a look at your site, it seems you've enabled friendly URLs but it's causing a server error, could mean your server doesn't support it.

Try disabling friendly URLs then adding ?goto=register to the url of your main page, it should then hopefully show the registration form users can fill out to register.

Glad it's working. Don't forget to create a new access level (assuming you don't already have the Commenter access level) and select that as the level new users get assigned to.

thanks again.

is there a way to change the link from your e-mail to go to your profile [if you have one] when you post a comment?

If you edit the template you're current using, expand the Comments section, it looks like you're using something like this which makes their username a clickable email link

Code:

[email]{author}[/email]

change that to

Code:

<a href="http://ashleenah.dailycute.net/?goto=profile&user={author}">{author}</a>

this'll change the userame to a link to view that users profile, not all users are registered and the ones who aren't will still have a clickable name it simply will goto a profile that doesn't exist.
