Hi Allister!<br><br>Have been away from the computer over the weekend, and apologize for<br>not getting back to you earlier.<br><br>Unfortunately I don't have a solution for your problem. I'm still<br>trying to get email verification really working properly with this
<br>script, but am not there yet. If you don't mind manually doing some<br>of the work, you could have them create the account but only add them<br>to a password group once the paypal is confirmed.<br><br>Just a thought.
<br><br>Cheers,<br>Caveman<br><br>PS. If you do come up with a solution, let me know. I'm interested<br>in something like this as well, and would like to add such a<br>capability to the recipe.</blockquote><div><br>I've implemented a quite reasonable workaround. I have a page
Main.Subscribe which fulfils all the purposes of the (:membership:) markup. When a visitor is not logged on, it tells them what the process is. I.e. create account, log in, select product and go to PayPal. To facilitate the process I have another page
Main.AccountCreated which contains a giant, bright message saying "Account created. Please log in". The words "log in" are a link to do exactly that, and pointing back to the Main.Subscribe page. After that message I (:include
Main.Subscribe:). The net effect is the user sees the whole process as being on one page and the message appears at the top prompting them to log in with their new account. Once they log in the page content changes to show the PayPal buttons and all is well.
<br><br>The only improvements to this I see would be nice are for the 'create' process to (a) show a message that the account has been created (just like the actions on the admin view) and (b) automatically log them in. Then I could just direct the action back to the same page without the need for the additional page and the log in prompt.
<br><br>But it's not urgent. I think my workaround is fine for now.<br></div><br></div>-- <br>Allister
