Possible Bug In Create Account

[jmdesign]

Hi Guys,

Thought I would post about an issue Ive been having with a site recently. Installed the latest version of the software (looks great by the way), configured it all and then created my template.

Everything was hunky dory until yesterday before launching it I went to create an account as a dummy customer, I filled out all fields and clicked the continue button only for nothing to happen. The page just refreshed itself without showing any errors or warnings. I was quite confused so assumed it must have been something I'd done whilst customising it so I tried a totally clean template and includes folder and still the same problem.

Then by chance I went into the admin area and started to change various settings back to their deafult to see if the problem could be related to one of these. After hours scratching my head I found the problem was caused by the "state" option being disabled in the "customer details" section, I enabled this and it all works fine now!

Not 100% if this a bug but thought I'd let you know.

Cheers,

James

Thanks for reporting this ... I have posted a bug tracker report so this issue will get investigated.

I'm seeing the same issue. I see the bug report has been closed but I'm not sure you have understood the issue.

With states turned off - once you complete the form and press continue, the page goes back to the create_account.php page with no warnings.

Looking at the code, it seems you can never complete the registration if ACCOUNT_STATE == 'false'

Line 150

if (ACCOUNT_STATE == 'true') {

closes at line 365.

tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT _SUCCESS, '', 'SSL')); is at line 363 and therefore can never be called unless ACCOUNT_STATE is true.

Adding a } on line 161 and removing the } on line 365 seems to fix this.

This is fixed in the upcoming 2.0.25 maintenance release.
