seems to work properly after the following changes. haven't noticed any adverse effects, maybe the experts can comment.

in file profile/edituser.php change (uncomment):
Quote:

//if ($xoopsModuleConfig['allow_chgmail'] == 1){
// $edituser->setVar('email', $email);
// }
to:
Quote:

if ($xoopsModuleConfig['allow_chgmail'] == 1) {
$edituser->setVar('email', $email);
}


then in file profile/include/forms.php change:
Quote:

if ($user->isNew() || $xoopsUser->isAdmin()) {
to:
Quote:

if ($user->isNew() || $xoopsUser->isAdmin() || $xoopsModuleConfig['allow_chgmail'] == 1) {


sorry about the wrapping. the files may look a little different.

don't think so. i could change my email address as an admin no matter what the prefs were. but i wanted to let my registered users change their own email. there's a preference for that, but it didn't work. my changes make it work for me now.

i did just verify the problem that you are speaking of. i'll have to make that change as well.

Hi all,

I tried the above and changing form.php totally messed up my Extended Users > Users admin page.

I'm using v2.2.3

Can anyone help? I posted elsewhereand no one has been able to help.

I can't change users email address as admin.

I tried looking at that patch, but it seems my version already has that patch installed, and it still doesn't work.

I get a message that the updates were succesful, but when I call up the user profile again, the address hasn't changed.

Hi,

I want to confirm andersa on this bug. I am using 2.2.4, too and I have exactly the same problem.
I looked up all the suggestions but it seems they are already in the code. But the problem is still there and its a bit annoying.

greets
Ingo

I promise that this problem was fixed somewhere on the forums in the past (I know because that's how I got it to work!)

If you just change edituser.php, you bypass the system whereby the email address is only changed to a verified address. There's a file changemail.php which needs 2 or 3 alterations.

I'll look for it in the next few days (sorry, don't have time now).
