Question

Hello!

I found out, that there are registered users, without a Main.FirstnameLastname topic. I also found out, that this was because of wrong access rights to the Main web. (see UserRegistrationProblem)

Those users already started posting to the wiki. Is there a way to re-register them or complete the registration?

regards, Rene

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

There is no need to register them again...

When the access control change is set at the main web, a new users file cannot be created but the .htpasswd is still updated. If the user signed up with the name UserName, then the file UserName.txt cannot be created at Main web.

Therefore, open up the .htpasswd and compare that UserName with the UserName.txt file at the main web. if there is no UserName.txt, then make one. also, put that UserName into the TWikiUsers.txt at Main

To make the UserName.txt, just open up another UserName.txt, and inside that file, change that UserName with the UserName in question. Then rename that file to that new UserName
