[SOLVED] Where is email verification handled?

[blakeburns]

Hey guys,

I am trying to figure out where in the phpbb php code the email verification is handled. I am trying to modify it slightly for my own needs and need to know exactly where it happens.

Any ideas?

[blakeburns]

This is PHPBB 3.0 btw. Hope someone knows where this is handled.

The URI to activate an account (which is what the account owner gets as e-mail) is created in /includes/ucp/ucp_register.php, whereas processing such a request is handled in /includes/ucp/ucp_activate.php. For more precision you need to tell what you want to modify exactly.

Thanks! I think I found it in the ucp_activate.php

If we aren't updating the password, its a new user activating and 'user_active_flip' below is what sets them from inactive to active. Need to do some database stuff when a user activates so I can add my stuff just below that.

Code: Select all

if (!$update_password)
		{
			include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_user.' . $phpEx);

			user_active_flip('activate', $user_row['user_id']);

Let me know if anything I said was inaccurate.

Fine so far, but...

when a user activates

...this is not bound to happen only once after registration. But I guess you don't mean it literally and not those cases where users get re-activated.

[blakeburns]

Ah so this code gets executed when a user re-activates or get de-activated as well? I guess I will have to check to make sure this is the first time activation.

[AmigoJack]

No. I said that i.e. user_active_flip() is used elsewhere.

[blakeburns]

Gotcha. I can't modify that function itself but I can just place the code I need just below it. That should work for me. Gonna say this is solved. Thanks for the help!
