'the guest role is required' error when saving new user

[diogo]

This message also irritates you?

I did a small change on the file ProcessUser.js to get rid of it. This simply checks and disables the box with javascript.

edit: something went wrong, and ths is not working. i will investigate why

$(document).ready(function() {
    if($("#Inputfield_id").val() == 40) {
        // guest user
        // hide fields that aren't necessary ehre
        $("#wrap_Inputfield_pass").hide();     
        $("#wrap_Inputfield_email").hide();    
        $("#wrap_Inputfield_roles input").attr('disabled', 'disabled');
        //$("#wrap_submit_save").remove();
    }
    // Check and disable the 'guest' role checkbox
    $("#Inputfield_roles_37").prop({
                                    checked: true,
                                    disabled: true
                                });
});

edit: Ok, solved. Apparently disabling the box prevents it's value to be saved also. I went around it like this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    if($("#Inputfield_id").val() == 40) {
        // guest user
        // hide fields that aren't necessary ehre
        $("#wrap_Inputfield_pass").hide();     
        $("#wrap_Inputfield_email").hide();    
        $("#wrap_Inputfield_roles input").attr('disabled', 'disabled');
        //$("#wrap_submit_save").remove();
    }
    // Check and disable the 'guest' role checkbox
    $("#Inputfield_roles_37")
        .prop({
            checked: true
        })
        .css({
            opacity: 0.5
        })
        .click(function(){
            return false;
        });
});

This does work:

$("#Inputfield_roles_37").prop({
        checked: "checked",
        disabled: "disabled"
    });

[diogo]

Soma, doesn't work with me. Did you try saving?

[Soma]

Yes it does if you remove the disabled...

[diogo]

Ya, that also works with me

When/where are you guys seeing the 'guest role required' message? Just wondering if this is something that should be fixed in the core ProcessUser module? I guess I haven't noticed this before.

Create new user and leave "guest" role unchecked. Just tried in 2.3 and it does throw the error msg.

[diogo]

I don't think it should be fixed in the module. The behavior is correct and it's good that guest is on the list so it's absence doesn't confuse people. Because I consider this a small annoyance, IMO the best place to fix it is javascript.
