Re: Login error/refusal TW1.9.5

After the intial install, you should login as:
username = admin
password = admin

Tiki then prompts you to select a new password. There is no email confirmaiton required for the admin login.

> * In 1.9.5, I could not get email confirmation working TOGETHER WITH ADMIN VALIDATION; it was either one of the options. So now, new registered users get a confirmation Email, which they have to click and then they're "registered" with "registered" rights. Nice to have their email confirmed and to know who is on the other side (at least to have a working email of that person). But then I had to take all rights away from "registered" users, so they only have the same rights as "anonymous". Later I can upgrade them to "editor", "admin", or make a new category "approved(regiseterd)" members. Yes, its a bit too much, but this is because the two options didn't work together (email confirm + admin validation);

It is one or the other — but not both.

  • If you use "Email Confirmation", then admin does not need to validate the user. Users will will receive an email confirmation and, upon clicking the link, become REGISTERED users.
  • If you use "Admin Validation", then you — the admin — must manually valiate each new user. To receive notification, you must have the Tiki messaging turned on (as noted in the General Admin page).



> * When applying for more security on logging in that one not only has to fill in username + pasword, but also his/hers Email; that didn't work! Yes: it asks for one's email address on loggin in, but gives an error message if you give your TW-stored email address.
