Hi, I moved my phpBB2 up to 2.0.18, and have tried to go back in and re-mod it so that it doesn't require an email address for users, and am having trouble. I installed this mod on 2.0.17 without issue, but I am now getting the following error message when I try to register a user without an email address: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in [path]/phpBB2/includes/usercp_register.php on line 789 Here's the code in that area of my usercp_register.php file: Code: 787 while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) 788 { 789 $emailer->from($board_config['board_email']); 790 $emailer->replyto($board_config['board_email']); 791 792 $emailer->email_address(trim($row['user_email'])); 793 $emailer->use_template("admin_activate", $row['user_lang']); 794 $emailer->set_subject($lang['New_account_subject']); 795 796 $emailer->assign_vars(array( 797 'USERNAME' => preg_replace($unhtml_specialchars_match, $unhtml_specialchars_replace, substr(str_replace("\'", "'", $username), 0, 25)), 798 'EMAIL_SIG' => str_replace('<br />', "\n", "-- \n" . $board_config['board_email_sig']), 799 800 'U_ACTIVATE' => $server_url . '?mode=activate&' . POST_USERS_URL . '=' . $user_id . '&act_key=' . $user_actkey) 801 ); 802 $emailer->send(); 803 $emailer->reset(); 804 } The system will process a new registration like a charm as long as there is an email address in there, but if I leave it out, as the hack should allow, I get the fatal error. Since this worked for me in previous versions, and I have gone back and double-checked my work, I am wondering if 2.0.18 has something different going on that would not allow this hack to work...? Thanks for any info!

Hm, actually I think it's just a bug in the hack that's never come up before. I bet you have admin activation of new registrations turned on. That seems to be where the error is coming up. I see another related problem or two now that I'm looking it over. I'll have to try to release an update soon.

Here you go: http://www.phpbbsmith.com/files/usercp_register.txt Keep in mind that this was a clean copy of the file. If you have any other hacks installed on your file, they would have to be reinstalled on this copy.

Hi,
I moved my phpBB2 up to 2.0.18, and have tried to go back in and re-mod it so that it doesn't require an email address for users, and am having trouble. I installed this mod on 2.0.17 without issue, but I am now getting the following error message when I try to register a user without an email address:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in [path]/phpBB2/includes/usercp_register.php on line 789

Here's the code in that area of my usercp_register.php file:

Code:

787          while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result))
788          {
789             $emailer->from($board_config['board_email']);
790             $emailer->replyto($board_config['board_email']);
791
792             $emailer->email_address(trim($row['user_email']));
793             $emailer->use_template("admin_activate", $row['user_lang']);
794             $emailer->set_subject($lang['New_account_subject']);
795
796             $emailer->assign_vars(array(
797                'USERNAME' => preg_replace($unhtml_specialchars_match, $unhtml_specialchars_replace, substr(str_replace("\'", "'", $username), 0, 25)),
798                'EMAIL_SIG' => str_replace('<br />', "\n", "-- \n" . $board_config['board_email_sig']),
799
800                'U_ACTIVATE' => $server_url . '?mode=activate&' . POST_USERS_URL . '=' . $user_id . '&act_key=' . $user_actkey)
801             );
802             $emailer->send();
803             $emailer->reset();
804          }

The system will process a new registration like a charm as long as there is an email address in there, but if I leave it out, as the hack should allow, I get the fatal error. Since this worked for me in previous versions, and I have gone back and double-checked my work, I am wondering if 2.0.18 has something different going on that would not allow this hack to work...?
