The implemented UserRegistration Plugin only supports storing the user-preferences (including the password) in the homepage of the user. So by define every Authenticated user (with autentication-method is 'pagedata') has it´s own homepage. If other autentication emthods are used, then it might be true, that the user preferences is not stored in the (none existing) homepage. > >>Having said the above, I also think we should eliminate the "Create > >>HomePage" checkbox (which also doesn't work yet) upon Sign In. > > > > This is already removed in the patches. > > Hmm. The optional "Create HomePage" button is not bad. > (if it would work). As I said: The UserRegistration-Plugin only supports authentication via pagedata, so there is a need for the homepage. If the homepage does not exist, the user does not exist, and therefor the "create-homepage-button" is not needed, because we need a homepage! > Thanks, I'll try to commit these. > Unfortunately I had a lot of work to do in the last months.
