url1128 appended before verification email link

Recommended Posts

I moved to a new host and emails send to people who wanted to sign up got a link they needed to click for verification that had an "url1128" appended on it.

I fixed that.

But then I moved to yet another host because the previous one couldn't handle this software and I'm now am facing the exact same problem and I just cannot for the life of me remember what the solution was. On top of that I deleted all email correspondence that could tell me how to fix this, so this is a lot like 'Obi-Wan you're my only hope' question.

So this is what the link should look like:
https://whateveryoursiteaddressis/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://whateveryoursiteaddressis/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=register&do=validate&somelongcode&mid=1206&key=somelongcode&email=1&type=registration_validate

but this is the link people get at the moment:
https://url1128.whateveryoursiteaddressis/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=redirect&url=https://whateveryoursiteaddressis/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=register&do=validate&somelongcode&mid=1206&key=somelongcode&email=1&type=registration_validate

I'm using sendgrid btw.

 

Anyone feeling a bit like a Jedi and help me out here?

That other customer was me I have to admit deeply ashamed.

And I think I mailed you the solution. Do you happen to still have that reply of mine from around August 20-24?

 

Hurrrr, maybe I need to recreate  the sendgrid api key...
I'm so completely lost again. :(

I know, that was your suggestion in August as well :smile: and they reffered me back to Invision.

But I just asked. Will post the answer if I have one so next time, I have the answer somewhere stored.

Yeah, unfortunately it was never posted in your ticket so there isnt anything I can really give you there, other than you stated they asked you to add something to DNS

It's the same story as before, they refer me back to here.

We want to let you know that we have reviewed your email and registration settings for your website and we were unable to determine the exact reason for the reported issue.

With that being said we suggest contacting the vendor of the script for more information on the matter.

 

 

Haha, lol. 

/shakes head.

If I had access to a test forum I could try things out without having to fear forking stuff up, but somewhere there is still a snippet of an older test forum active and I have no idea where. So that's a big no there.

I set the email Mail delivery method to PHP, tested it out with a new user using a new Gmail account that received a working verification link.

Thinking that solved at least that part, I tried contacting sendgrid but their support was down. Then today someone signed up but my forum did not register that, though Paypal confirmed the user paid. So the user couldn't get in as there wasn't even a validation email.

It's not even funny anymore and I'm getting a bit desperate.

Completely understand you being desperate for assistance there, but unfortunately the issues you are having there are with your mail services rather than with the software. As a self hosted customer, once the mail leaves our system, it would be for the mail system to deliver those messages. You have seen yourself, the email is getting sent.

The most likely scenario there is that its getting caught in their spam, so it would be well worth getting that checked first of all. There are no access details on file for me to check, but also check to ensure the domain you are sending from has SPF and DKIM records in place. This can cause them to be returned by receiving email services. That again would be a hosting thing though, so if you need more assistance with that you would really need to contact them on this. Sorry we could not be of further assistance there

This is not your hosting company.

This is intentional behavior when you have sendgrid tracking turned on and you have added a branded URL. That's what is changing the address.

When the recipient clicks the link, sendgrid tracks the clickthrough and redirects.
