Link in email to Private Message going to registration page?

[maranate]

But had not had time to address it. Now the info is not there - so can someone tell me what I need to fix in order to solve this problem? It only happens if someone did not choose to be "remembered" at login. I haven't upgraded yet from 2.0.19, will that fix it?

Shouldn't it goto the registration page if there not logged in? Yes it should.

My site is running phpbb2.0.20, security mod 1.0.3 and integramod 1.4.0 -- When users use auto login, it works (no reported problems anyway) so I would suggest that you update to the latest version of SecurityMOD and phpBB 2.0.20 -- Both of which can be found [url=http]here[/url].

BE SURE you install the upgrade to Security 1.0.3 before updating to phpBB 2.0.20 -- and follow all instructions detailed by the authors.

Hope this helps.

I'm on the latest security version - so I'll try the upgrade.

I disagree that it should go to the registration page. If they have received a PM, then they are already registered. They are just not logged in. It should go to the login screen.

I am creating a board to replace a very active Yahoo! Group, and I am dealing with some very computer illiterate people. I don't want to confuse them even further by sending them to a blank registration page if they're already registered.

yes, i can understand where you are coming from and it shouldn't goto the page if they recieved an email, but i've tested it on my site and thats what it does unfortunently.

Maybe some others here can shed some light on changing how that works. <img>

I have noticed this problem as well and believe it to be of great concern. This will undoubtedly confuse some members into trying to log in by entering their registration information (it shows all fields blank).
I believe the file which controls this URL is privmsg_notify.tpl and the field therein to be U_INBOX.

if you want access to the old board it is now available http://integrmod.com/home/search.php

Thanks, Adrian. Although I did not find the answer therein, I did find a clue that lead to a solution. Here is my fix:

OPEN
profilcp/profilcp_privmsg.php

FIND

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

                'U_INBOX' => $server_protocol . $server_name . $server_port . $script_name . '?folder=inbox')

REPLACE WITH

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

                'U_INBOX' => $server_protocol . $server_name . $server_port . $script_name . '?mode=privmsg')

This will take you straight to your PM inbox if you are logged in. Otherwise, it will open the login page and proceed to the PM inbox thereafter.

Nice fix Dr. Bantham, it's working super!

Would it be nice when the url directly opens the PM, like with the Topic Reply Notification?
