Registration Errors

[smooth-c]

I was just testing something out and registering a new account via the "member" way and I noticed that when you get the message "Thank you for registering, test1. Your account has been submitted for.." the top of the page is filled with this;

Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 38: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 10 and head in [path]/register.php(1068) : eval()'d code on line 39

I don't know how long it's been like this, how embarassing.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Do you have any mods installed to do anything on the registration page.

I tried with Moderate New Members on and off
I cant seem to reproduce this error on my set up.

Also See: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228035

That is from a modification. Disable it and the errors will go away.

[smooth-c]

Is there any way of eliminating which modification?

I had vbstopforumspam disabled, i've uninstalled it anyway as I no longer need it. I'll check

It wasn't that. I really can't see what else it would be.

I haven't tried registering an account the member way for.. god, months, if not atleast a year so have no idea what it could be.

I've just noticed, this isn't vb4, it's vb3.8 - I could of sworn I posted this in "vB3 General Discussions" and not the vb4 forum.

Open your config.php which can be found in your forumroot/includes directory.

Put this at the top:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

above <?php

Save and try to re-register.

Should be no errors now.

Be advised this will disable all plugins. Once you know for sure its a plugin you can start turning them all off one by one till you find the culprit.

Remove the line I just said to add before you start turning off the products to find the problem.

[smooth-c]

Doing that shut down my entire board, saying "content coding error".. wierd.

[BBR-APBT]

I don't understand why it did that.

My next suggestion would be to start turning off all products/plugins one by one in order.
Every time you turn one off try to register and see if the error is there.
Once the error is gone the last product/plugin you turned off would be the problem.

[smooth-c]

Such a pain in the ass huh! I'm about to compare my registration file with one direct from the customer area (fresh download) see if there's any bits that shouldn't be there.

Then do what you said

--------------- Added [DATE]1259789815[/DATE] at [TIME]1259789815[/TIME] ---------------

Nope, no change so it's got to be a plugin/product >.< great! lol.

--------------- Added [DATE]1259792517[/DATE] at [TIME]1259792517[/TIME] ---------------

I just elimiated the problem! *is soo proud of self*

I was thinking over and over, plugins/products.. hmm. I was using Interspire Email Marketer a few months ago and then moved servers and hadn't used it/installed it since - yet, I had a custom written plugin that pulls the username etc. when someone registers each time.

I disabled the plugin and voila, no errors

Thanks anyway dude/dudette
