I was having a siimilar problem where new members could no register.

The Anon. group needs to have block access to Members and Extended Profiles.

I appear to have fixed my site like this. Please test user registration if you have time:

http://www.area51.gen.nz

OK with a little fiddling around I have been able to search for users by populating the table xoopsdb_user_profile with incrementing id numbers and a table size matching the number of users. - I am getting there.

Is there any chance that someone could explain how the user authentication works at a database table level.

Thanks for your thoughts on that I was using cron to backup to a friends isp, he took the machine I was backing up to offline to revamp it and silly me (because I was sick of cron emailing every day) had piped it out to dev null.

I need to set that up again, saving seven days sounds like an awesome idea.

Do you know how the user activation works? That I think may be a key part of this.

Help!

I have been using XOOPS for some years now and have recently had to restore my databases from a backup.

I have in the past used MySQL dump to back them up to another offsite server.

I needed to restore my site and found corroupt data. Unfortunatly this also included some of my backup files. The tables I have managed to save are the user table and stories table (using the stores module).

The stories which I extracted I have been able to restore using sql commands. The users appear to be restored and I have made links in the user_linking table that appear on browsing to be correct.

When I search for all users the only use that XOOPS can find is the admin user I created when reinstalling on my server even though the information for my other users appears in the tables XOOPS does not recognise this. I have been looking around the dbs thinking it may be to do with activateion but I have been unable to find anything which stands out.

Has anyone got any ideas about why XOOPS is doing this I am using version 2.0.10 with a debian install and the most up to date version of MySQL with apt_get (I don't have the verson number at present).

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Sally
