register.php login error.

[FleaBag]

If you log in from register.php using the login box at the top of the page, you are logged in but taken to a page with the following error:

Our records show that you have already registered under the name of FleaBag. If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here.

That's normal....

I would say that's a vbulletin bug - though I'm not sure what they would say as the navbar is not displayed on the registration page in standard vb.

[Ziki]

It was the same in all versions.It just redirects you back to the page and as you are already registered you get this error.

the action is correct .... you are viewing the register.php page while logged in

in other words, you don't have to be there

[RedTyger]

The action is correct but the behaviour isn't, it should kick you to the index or something instead.

[Ziki]

Yeah he has a point

can i have the point too?...

i reported that error on vB 2.0a

[FleaBag]

It gives the impression, upon redirect, that you have tried to register the username with which you have logged in.

Can probably do this with a plug-in but;

Open functions_login.php and find;

PHP Code:

    if (
        $vbulletin->url == 'login.php'
        OR $vbulletin->url == $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] . '.php'
        OR strpos($vbulletin->url, 'do=logout') !== false
    )
    {
        $vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] . '.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'];
    }
    else
    {
        $vbulletin->url = fetch_replaced_session_url($vbulletin->url);
        $vbulletin->url = preg_replace('#^/+#', '/', $vbulletin->url); // bug 3654 don't ask why
    } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

    if (
        $vbulletin->url == 'login.php'
        OR $vbulletin->url == 'register.php' // bug PITA feel free to ask why! ;)
        OR $vbulletin->url == $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] . '.php'
        OR strpos($vbulletin->url, 'do=logout') !== false
    )
    {
        $vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] . '.php' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q'];
    }
    else
    {
        $vbulletin->url = fetch_replaced_session_url($vbulletin->url);
        $vbulletin->url = preg_replace('#^/+#', '/', $vbulletin->url); // bug 3654 don't ask why
    }
