Part of a series of reforms for the login system, this patch would ideally allow users to login immediately after registration, a feature that has previously been provided by the LoginToboggan module.

The login functionality applies to all Drupal installs, and this usability feature seems to me to be applicable to all Drupal installs and therefore the 6.x-dev core.

NOTE: I have no coding skills whatsoever, however, I hope I can contribute my ideas and hopes to Drupal.

There's going to be a fair amount of resistance on this one -- mostly on the basis of security concerns and the logic of how this system would work. See this comment for more on the logic issues.

Well, this is definitly the least important in the series. If it can't be done, so be it.

When the "Require e-mail validation checkbox" is left unchecked, the user does NOT getted login automatically. The user still must proceed to login manually which seems redundant. It doesn't seem right that I have to install LoginToBoggan to solve this, but that's what I had to do.

@webchick Can you please be more clear as to what part of this was added in Drupal 6. The option to not require email registration has been around since before D6.

I'm a little confused and hope to not be missing something. Shouldn't this not be marked as closed?

In user settings, the "Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account" option states "...With it unchecked, users will be logged in immediately upon registering, and may select their own passwords during registration." This would imply that users should already be logged-in upon completing registration so long as the box is not checked. As lee20 said (and I can confirm with D6.14) this does not happen unless you install Logintoboggan. It would seem that this is not the intended design based on the text I quoted above.

LoginToBoggan is a fine option, but it seems like overkill just to add this feature (an important feature, btw, for any eComm site).

Regards,
Ryan

Automatically closed because Drupal 6 is no longer supported. If the issue verifiably applies to later versions, please reopen with details and update the version.
