Interesting Issue

WOW, Thank you so much for getting back to me as fast as you did. I’m just now getting caught up on messages.

It appears as though it does have to do with cookies but I’m not sure where to start.

The way we have our sites configured (this is the second time I am trying to implement this plugin, last time I tried was over a year ago), users can have individual accounts with separate info on each subsite.

So far it is behaving great (accept)

We are registering members on the main network site. Like I said, our setup allows for individual accounts on each subsite.

The user is redirected to a subsite based on the site they select when they register. If I have the subsites set to auto add, it does that beautifully (but that’s not what we want) We still want them to ‘Activate’ their account on the subsite they selected AND any other subsite they visit. All of the subsites retain the TLD name and each subsite has content centered around different subjects.

The Problem:
When we have this plugin setup for ‘Manual’ activation (we are using the widget), it is clear to the user they still need to “Activate” their account on that subsite. However, when they visit one of the ‘other’ subsites it shows the link to their profile page “On That Site” (which works BTW) but in the backend it does not add them or show them as a user (that’s good, it means they are not really added to the subsite yet). (Unless they click the ‘Activate’ button which they can’t see, find or even realize exists because the link in the menu says “XYZ Account” and not “Activate” which would send them to the ‘login/activation’ and THEN to their profile page. Crazy I know but I’m thinking either this plugin or something else is setting the plugin ‘Network’ wide when we want the cookies to be ‘Site by Site’. Make sense??!

I’m pushing the envelop when it comes to how I have setup sites in the past so this is new territory to a small extent but one that would open major doors once we wrap our brains around the way it is working.

Any suggestions or help you can offer would be appreciated more than words could say and I’d be happy to cover your time if you could help us find a solution.

Thanks again for getting back to me so fast. I hope you can repeat that! 🙂

Have a great day…

Most lines commented out but we keep them in file for testing. I actually already had to bottom four lines in the config file so all I had to do is uncomment them.

If there is a better setup than this please do tell!! 🙂

p.s. Also Multi Network

Thank you for this Mika,

Based on this we were able to create a custom rule and with If Menu it worked great.

However, I do have another problem now.

We currently have JMM setup for ‘Manual’ adding users.
Here is what our page looks like. As soon as you have visited this I’m going to delete this short URL http://dxi.bz/supaf

Right now we have it setup so as soon as a user registers on the main network site, based on the section they choose they are redirected to the subsite and login-activation page. Where is says ‘Click Here to Register’ is then replaced with an ‘Activate Your Account’ link. The only problem has been that if they leave and then come back and want to also register on another section, the link does not say ‘Activate My Account’, it defaults back to ‘Click Here to Register’. Nevertheless, they can login and even be redirected to a ‘Profile Page’ on the new subsite but they are not ‘Added as a User’ (I know that sounds counter-intuitive) but that’s what happens. We are using the plugin “Login With Ajax” which when a user logs in they are taken directly to their profile profile page.

What would be nice is if they could be “Added as a User” two ways. #1 Click the ‘Activate My Account’ link & #2 Simply ‘Log In’ to the subsite which would also then ‘add’ them as a user.

Any chance you could help us with a snippet to do this?

Thanks again for your help, we’ll be sure to send you a token of our appreciation 🙂

No worries, We have made some milestones on some other controls that might make it possible for us to change it back to automatic. Fingers crossed!

Thank you for taking the time to reply!
