Hi Sebastian,

Basically I've been trying to get the email functionality to work on new user registration. With reg type 'Public', everything works fine - email sent to registering user and to moderator. Once this is changed to 'Verified', no email is sent and an exception is generated:

Module load exception

StackTrace:



InnerMessage:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

InnerStackTrace:
at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo.GetProperty(String propertyName, String format, CultureInfo formatProvider, UserInfo accessingUser, Scope currentScope, Boolean& propertyNotFound)
at DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.Mail.SendMail(UserInfo user, MessageType msgType, PortalSettings settings)
at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.UserModuleBase.CompleteUserCreation(UserCreateStatus createStatus, UserInfo newUser, Boolean notify, Boolean register)
at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Users.Register.CreateUser()

Going through the code, I think the error is caused in UserInfo.cs, in GetProperty, somewhere around these lines:

case "verificationcode":
if (internScope < Scope.SystemMessages)
{
propertyNotFound = true;
return PropertyAccess.ContentLocked;
}
var ps = new PortalSecurity();
var code = ps.EncryptString(PortalID + "-" + UserID, Config.GetDecryptionkey());
return code.Replace("+", ".").Replace("/", "-").Replace("=", "_");

I have checked that there is a MachineKey entry in the config file. I have also checked that the host email is set and is valid and I've been wading through the DB trying to find what the issue could be without success.

The user does get created and is set with authorisation false. If he is authed by an admin, an email does get sent and everything works correctly. I presume with verified registration a user account is probably partially created and then completed when the user clicks the authorisation link or is authorised by an admin. The only difference I've seen so far between a public registered user and a verified type registration is that the VanityURL field in DNN_UserPortals is NULL in the case of a verified type registration.

We're running version 07.04.00(353) and this was an upgrade from a previous version.
