Activation Email

[Aros12]

We are trying to send an email to all users who have not completed their account activation. We are using the "Send Email to Users" feature within VB 5. Inside the body of the mail we have the $activatelink variable. The problem is that the activation link that gets created is not valid. When the users clicks they get the following error message:

"Invalid Page URL. If this is an error and the page should exist, please contact the system administrator and tell them how you got this message. "

Here is what the link looks like (I changed the last 4 digits for security)

http://www.hobbysquawk.com/core/register.php?a=act&u=51&i=a6057a3d108493fd103b18f9ee3f6d98c6efxxxx

Now, if we go into AdminCP > User Manger and just pick one user that has not activated, and we click the "Email Activation Codes" button at the top of the page, the user gets the following activation link (last 4 digits changed for security):

http://www.hobbysquawk.com/registration/activateUser?a=act&u=51&i=f9bda62ad281274cd0413ea7e52921695330xxxx

and that link works perfectly.

Does anyone know how we can fix this or what might be causing this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Try manually doing the activation URL and use the $userid and $activateid variables
