For some odd reason, I'm getting permission denied when I click the 'register now' link in the login block.

I've searched about everywhere my logic tells me this should be a problem.. but.. for some reason I can't make it work.

Could anyone tell me what the problem is please?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Yeah, it gets kind of complicated.

First, check ALL of your User Management permissions again. Anonymous users should be permitted to view account and new user registrants should be set to Yes.

Next, you may also have to go into the Module's permissions section, which is separate from it's General Preferences. From there, you decide what fields, what type of account editing, searching, and access levels each user type has.

There are also a few posts in the forum about this which may be more definitive. I think what XOOPS may eventually need is a little Tutorial on pesky little problems like this that crop up from time to time.

I think you or someone else needs to give me this in a step by step manner.. because I simply can't see where the permissions are set wrong.....

Modules looks fine... anomymous have access to view them all. ... nothing seems to be wrong.

New user registrant enabled you say? Where do I enable/disable that? Haven't found that anywhere.


Thanks again.

Go into your admin section and click on preferences. There should be a an option for the User Management module. (I can't remember it's original name, because I've changed the names of some of my modules.)

At any rate, use your mouse to run down the Preferences list until you see a submenu that says: General Setting and User Settings.

Click on General Settings. Everything is pretty straightforward from there.

If that looks fine, click on the Modules Menu. Look for the User Management module (again, I have renamed mine, so I don't remember its original name.)You're going to be looking for the module whose submenu contains: Users, Categories, Fields, Permissions. Go through the permissions there also.

Ok.. this may be me being stupid.. but I can't find that anywhere....

When I click Preferences, I have the following:

System
Extended Profiles
Forums
Private Messeging


Now.. I presume the only place we can do anything here is 'System' under which I have:

General Settings
Meta Tags and Footer
Word censoring options
Search Options
Mail Options
Authentication Options.

Now... I've check the general settings here, and there isn't any option in there that can enable or disable new user registrants....

Of modules, the only module I have where I can do any configuration that is related to this is the system module as well... there isn't any user configuration module or anyting like that. I can click on Modules and then Administration.. and then I can click on the System Module icon to edit configuration there..
In there I get the following:

Avatars, Banners, Blocks, Comments, Find Users, Groups, Image Manager, Mail Users, Modules, Preferences, Smilies Templates, User Ranks.

Nothing much to do there... since most things here are relinks to things I've already been to.

Then I went to the 'User' menu in the top.
This menu holds links to some of the same things which also is listed above.. but I went to 'Groups'.. and here I can see the group 'Anonymous Users'... now I presume this is where the real problem is.. that Anonymous Users don't have access to register.

When I click on modify on the anonymous group, there is no module related to registration.. user or anything that can be clicked. I can only click on access rights to the forums and extended profiles...

I checked the blocks section as well, and can see the login block which is related to the system module. When I edit that, Anonymous Users are also marked so they can see it..

The thing just is.. I can't find anywhere I can edit actual access restrictions to a certain module... this is where the whole problem is.

Forget the entire last post.. all the setup I needed was in extended profiles...

My logic told me that the configuration for that module only had something to do with users already registered.. but I figured out that this actually had confuration for new user registration and so on.

Sorry for having wasted your time...
