Hi guys, I think this is a quick and easy bug and probably a result of Ellis having added this function to version 1.6.1.

The user registration tags are not honouring the multi-author list setting for the member group. Any chance of a quick fix on this?

Thanks!

Wonder Monkey,

I’m not quite sure what you’re talking about… could you explain a little further? smile

Thank you

Remember this issue you had? Well I’m using the user module to allow admins and other member groups to register new members and I have a similar problem. While I have the entire member group set to allow each member to be part of the multi-author list (ie. in exp_members each user should have in_authorlist = ‘y’). Unfortunately no matter what the group is set to, every new member registration has in_authorlist=’n’. I went through mod.user.php and noticed that the register user functions don’t address this setting (although I’m not super familiar with how it interacts with EE’s registration system), so it would seem to be missing this feature, aka, a bug.

Not a bug you big bully. Feature. Those EE guys add a feature, and when we don’t also add it, it’s a bug? Please! ha ha smile

This is already on our list for User. Comin’ right up.
