Was this information Helpful?

Straightforward question: For Ubercart, what is the recommended User settings configuration? "Visitors can create accounts and no administrator approval is required?" or "Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required"? (I assume that no email verification shold be required in any case.)

I want to be sure that folks who make a purchase and get their login-info email can immediately log-in to check status, etc. Just looking for clarification about whether an Ubercart-created user/pass (or one entered by a customer during checkout) is considered an admin-created/approved account or not.

A clear explanation of the proper settings, and why, would be great. Thanks!

Re: Recommended User Registration Settings?

http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/298/drupal_settings_tips is a getting starting point.

You want to select visitors can create accounts and no admin approval is needed.

Re: Re: Recommended User Registration Settings?

Thanks, LG. Any concerns/issues with zillions of spam accounts created if no admin approval is req'd? The site in question moderates comments, but there's some concern among admins that many spammer accounts will be created and flood the comment queue with time-consuming nonsense. Any thoughts/advice?

You migh try installing the Mollom module for this since it not only protects from comment spam, it also protects from user registration spam. No system is perfect, though it should do well to avoid the most obvious of spam.

That's awesome. I had no idea there was a mod like that for Drupal. Familiar with the ones for WP. Thanks HB!

You are doing yourself a great favor learning Drupal. There IS a learning curve but I promise you it's worth it. If it were easy, everyone would do it Smiling

I had to test this out...

My settings under admin/user are set to "Only site administrators can create new user accounts". The checkbox for "Require e-mail verification" is turned off. Ubercart 2.x created a new user account upon checkout of an anonymous user. That's the behavior I had expected and I'm glad to see it works. Accounts on this site I'm working on are meant to be for paying customers only.
