Currently I run two websites under PostNuke 0.760

I have a problem with new users. In the groups configuration I've set "Users" as the initial group for users. However when they become registered users they don't enter any group. This has the consequent problem that they don't see any parts of the website when logged.

Up to now the only solution that I've found is to modify each user manually, but this is a rather tedious way to solve the problem as you may imagine. Firstly I thought I was the only one with this problem because I've searched these forums for similar problems but haven't found anything yet, but today I've fonud another PostNuke user with the same problem.

Any idea why this happens?

Your initial group for users is set correctly in administration > groups? You have tried resubmitting this form?

Yes, I checked it in administration>groups and it was ok, and a few hours ago I thought about resubmitting the form as you say, but I've had 4 new users since that and they aren't in any group :?

ok, can you dive into the database? In the prefix_module_vars table, look for the row: modname - Groups, name - default group.

Please tell me what is says.

It says

pn_modname: Groups
pn_name: defaultgroup
pn_value: Users

Everything correct I'm afraid...

You are using the default users module, and not an alternative like XUser?

Try to register a user yourself and see if there is a SQL error... (should be if there is a problem with the SQL when the user is registered to the default group).

I'm using the default users module, but I've found something now that Chestnut has told me to register a user myself.

I have omitted some info that might be interesting, sorry for that. My two websites are mysyte.com and subdomain.mysyte.com and the subdomain one is sharing some DB tables with the original one, in this case all the ones referred to users. And now, registering a user myself I've found that when I register a user in mysyte.com it doesn't enter any group at subdomain.mysyte.com and viceversa, but it works correctly in the site where I register it.

Does that help you in any way?

Yea... that's kind of a small detail that you've missed... :wink:

Groups tables also must be shared

groups
groups_perms
groups_membership

Yeah... sorry

I've shared those tables and it doesn't seem to work either. Another thing to say in case it might be useful: I'm not using multisites, I share these tables following the tutorial to create multisites by aferve.com

If the tables are shared now, future registrations should work fine, but existing users will still have problems (as some will have been in the table you didn't share)

I have modified the pntables.php file, as it is explained in the tutorial that I've mentioned, and I'm currently sharing:

groups
groups_perms
groups_membership
user_data
user_perms
user_property
users

However I've checked my last registered users (since I made the changes last night) and I continue with the same problem.
