Programmatically activating a new user

[davecov]

I have the following:

Code: Select all

<?php
  $user = JFactory::getUser(0); 
  jimport('joomla.application.component.helper');
	$usersParams = &JComponentHelper::getParams( 'com_users' ); 
  $acl =& JFactory::getACL();
  $usertype = $usersParams->get( 'new_usertype' );
  if (!$usertype) {
    $usertype = 'Registered';
  }
	$userdata = array(); 
  $userdata['username'] = $username;
  $userdata['email'] = $email;
  $userdata['name'] = $name;
  $userdata['password'] = $password;
  $userdata['gid'] = $acl->get_group_id( '', $usertype, 'ARO' );
  $defaultUserGroup = $usersParams->get('new_usertype', 2);
  $userdata['groups']=array($defaultUserGroup);   
  $userdata['block'] = 0;
  $usersParams->get( 'useractivation' );
  if ($useractivation == 1) {
    jimport('joomla.user.helper');
    $userdata['activation'] =JUtility::getHash( $password);
  }
  if (!$user->bind($userdata)) {
    $form->data['email_message']='Sorry, something went wrong with the registration process. Please try again.'.$user->getError();
  }else if (!$user->save()) {
    $form->data['message'].=$user->getError(); // something went wrong!!
  }
?>

This sends an email to the newly registered user with a link to take a test.

However, when the user follows the link and enters his password, it says User is not activated

How do I activate the new user programmatically?

If you're modifying the Joomla core code, be aware that an update will wipe that up.

I'm not.

The code is in a Chronoforms "Custom Code" element.

As far as I can tell, the activation field in the database is an empty string (as it should be).

Oops.

This topic should be in the Joomla 1.5 section.

Terribly sorry!

What's the drill? Can someone move it? or can I start a new topic in that section?
