Hi all,
I've installed the latest edition of the 'Self Registration with admin confirmation' plugin onto my moodle 3.1 instance and ma having some issues.
Firstly, when, as a test user, when I submit a create a new account from the signin page, I'm immediately getting an 'internal error 500' message. The server I'm running it on has PHP 5.5 and IIS7. I suspect that whatever is happening in the signup.php code is trying to call something which just isn't there e.g. a default confirmation screen stating that the request has gone to an administrator for approval or something. I haven't seen this feature working in situ so I don't know how its supposed to look and I don't know where to being troubleshooting. There are no error logs in Moodle even with debugging verbosity set to maximum and there are no useful logs on the host server. The user account is being created and an admin request email being sent.
Secondly, I've manage to customise the wording of the confirmation email which goes to the admin, with the exception of the placeholders. I added an additional field onto the singup form called 'Establishment' and made it a required field etc ,but I can't call it through a place holder on the language string. I've inspected the form at the front end in developer mode in the browser and it looks like Id_Profile_Field_Establishment. I've tried every permutation I can reasonably think of to get the placeholder to resolve the user data but have been unsuccessful. The moodlelib.php file is referred to on a number of threads for passing additional strings for inclusion in the email confirmations, but said file makes no reference to the auth_emailadminconfirmation string which the self-reg with admin confirmation plugin uses.
I'm really eager to iron this out as I'm planning to go live with the site early next year. Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
