Invited users not updated upon registration/confirmation

I had an idea that it would be helpful to show an invited user's full name instead of email in the table of My Invites after the invited user had registered & confirmed.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the code in /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbinvites/templates/default/tab.php would do this already if the User field in table #_comprofiler_plugin_invites was set correctly, but in my case, this field is 0 or NULL regardless.

I imagine there could be an auto-action that does this, but could not find it in the System auto-actions. Was this added or fixed recently? Perhaps I missed it.

The user column should populate when the invite is accepted. Is this not happening for you? Are you sure the invite was actually accepted? If it's accepted you should see it marked as such. Note if you are not using the Invite Code field during registration then it can't accept the invite unless the user uses the invited email address during registration.

Ah, so it depends upon the invite code. Yes, I require the invite code. Initially we were displaying the invite code input field and I noticed it was not getting pre-filled by the URL so I wrote an auto action to do that. But even then, it still did not update the User field in the invites table.

Then the site owner decided they did not want to see the field - it shouldn't be editted by the person registering any way, and I turned off displaying in registration. ( I suppose I was hoping it would be a hidden input field then ). I see jQuery has the cb_invite_code value...

I don't think I have tested trying to register with an invited email address but without an invitation code.

Have added a feature ticket to improve this further by keeping track of the pending invite in the users session data. This should allow proper acceptance without the need of the invite code field.

OK, thanks.

Yes, plenty of invited users have registered, confimed, and been approved.

After re-enabling display of invite_code on registration, I sent a new invite, the invite registered with the correct invite_code, the invite_code shows up in the new user's info, he's confirmed the email and been approved - but the User is not updated in the invite table.

I see a system auto action triggered on confirmed/approved. If I made my own, I guess I would update the invite table based on the invite code.

Not sure when this changed but the invite email uses the URL
[host]/index.php/registration?invite_code=[code]
which does not work for me. I have to use
[host]/index.php/personal/registers?invite_code=[code]

Something is interrupting the registration process more than likely. If the email address matches it will accept the invite. This assumes you aren't doing something like redirecting away during onAfterUserRegistration trigger, which custom redirects should be done on onAfterSaveUserRegistration and not on onAfterUserRegistration.

I've retested this entire process as working fine. Invites should be accepted immediately at registration as they do not need to wait for confirmation or approval. See the below example where invite worked fine and was accepted using email address.





As for the URL it will use the first available Joomla menu item to your CB registration page so if it's wrong then you've a menu item that probably shouldn't exist. Base off what you've provided it has a menu alias of "registration".

I see a system auto action triggered on confirmed/approved. If I made my own, I guess I would update the invite table based on the invite code.

There's nothing to workaround here. You need to figure out why your site is breaking CB Invites. This isn't a matter of the functionality not existing as it does exist and is tested working. It's a matter of something breaking that functionality.
