Creating user accounts so people can create listings

[Tyssen]

I'm working on a site where I want people to be able to create listings but to do so they need to create accounts first.

For the login/register forms, I'm using https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/LoginRegister but it says in the module settings "Roles with page-edit permission are not shown."

But I want my new users to be added to a role with page-create/edit permissions for the template in question, so how do I assign that role to the module? Or is there another way I should be doing this?

@Tyssen - unfortunately, that module is pretty broken. Either buy LoginRegisterPro, or use LoginRegister as a base (fixing the key Issues yourself), or as inspiration for how to implement your own login form and logic.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, removed the restriction on the page-create roles.

You'll need to do more than that to make it reliable - have a read through some of the issues - these two are key. One is simple to fix, but the other requires a fair bit of work.

OK, understood. At the moment, it's being used on a feature which may not actually end up being actively used or by enough people to make it worthwhile fixing those sorts of issues. We'll have to wait and see.
