[Phpwiki-talk] Email Verification messages over and over

[Philip J. H. <ph...@po...>]

I'm running phpwiki cvs from 10/7/2004, crao theme, mysql backed.

After I applied the patch from a couple days ago to enable user prefs, I
logged in to the wiki as my user and changed my preferences.  This
included entering my email address.

When I checked back the next day, I had received an email from the wiki,
and I saw on the user prefs page that my user was now authenticated.

All good.  However, the authorization email seems to be stuck in a loop.
 Every time I log back on as my user, the wiki generates another email
saying "welcome to the wiki!" and sends it to me.

This is with my admin user, which has a password set.

Any ideas how to turn this off?

Thanks,
P.

That's no loop.
That's an indiction that your prefs are not persistent.
Your prefs cannot be safed.

Admin user?
I have to investigate this. ADMIN_USER has a different logic. Thanks for 
reporting this.

dbprefs or personalpage prefs?
what is your USER_AUTH_ORDER?
