Account status

Friday 21 July 2006 2:07:56 pm

I am using the user class to let new users register. I have added the user account datatype to this class. In this datatype there is a piece of code that tells if the user account status is activated or not.

The problem is that on a blank user register page, it says that the account is activated.That is even before the user starts to register!

The code is copied below from content/datatype/edit/ezuser.tpl. It seems correct, but the variable "$attribute.content.is_enabled" can't be working. "$attribute.content.is_enabled" should return false, but it returns true. Why? A clue that could give me a better understanding of how this is supposed to work would also be appreciated.

Thank you.
