MX Kommerce Forum :: automatic login

Hi there i have a problem.

I am creating a member registration area. on multiple pages. to do this i am using the trick of automatically logging in the user after they enter login details - i then want them to enter in personal details on the second page - i got it all working fine.

then on the 3rd page i want them to confirm their registration once they confirm they then recieve an email - i got this working BUT when they get the email inside the email content they only get kt references - such as kt_username and kt_password for example - so the email is NOT showing the actual info stored in the database.

I even created a seperate session variable in the kt control panel and added this to the custom trigger that was used to automatically log in the user - but it doesnt work.

so how when using the automatic login user i can then send an email that will show login details etc? because the only time this works if i were to use the registration wizzard or the forgot password wizzard - but i want to do it manually so that i can customise the way people register.

pease anyone - help me

Hello,

If you are using the default template this will not work, because it displays the variables named {kt_login_user} and {kt_login_passwords}. Because they have no prefix like SESSION or POST or GET these are taken form the transaction as both register and forgat pages have such field names in the transactions. If you use your own form, then you need to create a different mail template in which to used either the fields from your transaction, or from a recordset that extracts data from database for the current logged in user. To use a recordset, you must enter:

{Recordset1.username} and {Recordset1.password} for example.

However, of you store passwords encrypted into the database, you will not be able to send the password to the user, as you cannot decrypt it.

yes i understand now. on a slighty different direrection concerning recordsets how could i create a recordset connection manually using ONLY KT Kollection?

What I mean is its simple to create a recordset using dreamweaver build in function but that generates dreamweaver code.

What i wish to do is set up a recordset using ONLY KT kollection as this will be better coding.

For example when creating form wizards etc then KT Kollection creates recordsets using KT code - but for example I want to have a page that just checks a user is logged in and then setup a recordset using just KT code - is this possible? because i see no option for it.
