Hi Guys,

I have stumbled upon the following scenario:

1. User registers for Newsletter -> we use Extranet module to create a user with Email and Name and generate Username and password in the process

2. User decides afterwards that he wants an account -> we use Extranet module to create a User with the data submitted by the user

3. User wants to recover password -> we use Extranet module with Login setting. But the module will return an erro"User not found" because it finds 2 records with the same email address.

I think that we need a way to merge the accounts based on the email address if the user decides to create an account and also have Newlstter subscription.

Any ideeas?

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi George,

Yes. I am using the email as username.

I endedup adding an additional field for regular users and I have added it in the fields needed for retrieve password. This way I can make sure that the password will be for the Account and not for the subscription.

But I still have 2 users with the same email address.

If you find a better solution please let me know.

Thanks,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I have the first step the newsletter with Extranet module (per default DW use the email as username)...
Then in second step I have a new user profile with Extranet module... If I use the email as a username, DW will give-me an error saying the user is already in DB.
If I use another information as username, then I will have two users...

You should probably create the user in a single post and mimic the 2 steps creation.

But in this case you gonna have to make a custom provider for checking the Email before creating the user.

One other option would be to Edit the user in the second step. But this means you have to auto-login the user after the first step.
