blank accounts ?

Monday 21 February 2005 8:49:12 am

Hello,
I am receiving some admin emails notifying about BLANK ACCOUNTS.
It seems that it happens randomly.
Some users get normal accounts and others not.
Actually, there are blank accounts at the admin users management, too.
Why is this happening?
How could I correct this?
Ezpublish 3.5.0 is the version.
Regards.
Andre Felipe

Hi Andre

Do you know how to reproduce this? What are your user settings, roles, polices?

Hi Lukasz,

I have the some problem, with a production site based on 3.5.0.
More, when runcronjobs run, one blank user is created as draft.

Note that the registering user do not recive no mail, because the account e.mail is not stored (I recive the welcome email as root, with the 'To' blank).

Bye

I found a bug in notification (which probably is not related thou :S). In some cases users get blank notificaion emails. Unfortunately the fix was to late for 3.5.1. Here are the patch for it:

Can you describe in steps what you need to do to reproduce this?

I installed a default fresh 3.5.0 install to test this on my enviroment. Site registration then worked fine. I returned to the site I was developing and restest user registration there. It worked fine this time? Very confusing as it failed consistently several times in a row last I tried. I'll delete and redo a few more signups tomorrow as this worries me a lot. An existing client running 3.5.0 had a recent experience where one of their established users lost all account information from the database except the object id? I had to re-instate a previous back. :(

We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

Thanks, Kristian. Also, please make them aware of how serious this bug is to production sites which makes use of a public user registration process.

Hello,

I'm encountering the same problem but can't manage to fix it with the corrections given by Kirill Subbotin.
Some accounts created are blank : nothing is stored but an account is created and an email with no information is sent to the admin. All of these "blank accounts" were created under IE6 and the PCs on which the problem appeared always have the problem. But some machine with IE6 doesn't encounter any trouble... It doesn't seem to be OS dependent.
The different versions used are :
eZ 3.4.1
php 4.3.3

I tried to fix by changing the following files :
- kernel/error/view.php
- lib/ezutils/classes/ezsession.php
and I then flush the caches.
Is there anything I forgot or is there other potential problems, linked to my version of eZPublish for example, that I have to check?

Thanks,

Guillaume
