New members unable to join

[Wayne Luke]

Run these two queries in PHPMyAdmin...

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,6,'Minimum Username Length','minuserlength','3','Enter the minimum length a user can register with.','',15)

INSERT INTO setting VALUES (NULL,6,'Maximum Username Length','maxuserlength','15','Enter the maximum length a user can register with.','',16)

It seems you missed an upgrade script somewhere so other things may not work properly.

phpMyAdmin
did not display anything. I added the query, clicked on "go" and the phpMyAdmin took the query and returned nothing.

Nothing was returned
No errors
No anything........

Okay check and see if those options are in your control panel now...

Modify Options -> User and Registration Options.

[datman99]

Yes, but.........

New users still get this error"

Your username can not be greater than characters.

Minimum Username Length: is set to 3
Maximum Username Length: is set to 15

I just tried to register with a new username of: barney123 and it failed. I can add new members from the CP.

OK we're back to I think you need to revert a template. Try reverting these two templates, if they are custom:
error_usernametooshort
error_usernametoolong
I believe an error was fixed with those two in one of the betas.

[datman99]

Your username can no be greater than characters.

I reverted the templates, but still got the same error after trying to register again.



Your username can no be greater than characters.

I got that same error when trying to register on your board.

Do you see the following on lines 214-220 of register.php?

  if (strlen($username)<$minuserlength) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_usernametooshort")."\");");
    exit;
  } elseif (strlen($username)>$maxuserlength) {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_usernametoolong")."\");");
    exit;
  }

This is what I have on lines 214-220 in my register.php file. This is the file that came with the Beta 5 upgrade, in the upload dir.

=================================

if (strlen($username)<$minuserlength) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_usernametooshort")."\");");
exit;
} elseif (strlen($username)>$maxuserlength) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_usernametoolong")."\");");
exit;
}

You must go to Change Options and go all the way to the bottom of the page and click "Submit" again, just to be sure it took the changes.
