I use a similar method to Edward's (or so i imagine after a quick glance). I have the "ticketing" side of things put into a general-purpose model: http://bin.cakephp.org/saved/44956
In your case you would need the following logical steps. Where are you getting into trouble? - Display registration form - Save new User with a flag to mark it as disabled. (any logins and other features should require an enabled user) - Create an activation ticket and send the url to the user's email. - Accept activations where you verify the ticket (and delete it) and enable the relevant user. Using "my" Ticket model, I create a new ticket like this: $ticket = $this->Ticket->setTicket($this->params['controller'], $theUser['User']['email']); Then I email this link: $link = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/'.$this->params ['controller'].'/activate/'.$ticket; In the "activate" action I then fetch the ticket and enable the user. function activate($hash = null) { $email = $this->Ticket->getTicket($this->params['controller'], $hash) ... $authUser = $this->User->findByEmail($email); if ( is_array($authUser) ) { // enable the user here }else{ // oups no user, better delete the ticket since this should not be able to happen $this->Ticket->drop($hash); } } On Apr 13, 9:43 pm, niki <ranga.nik...@gmail.com> wrote: > hello > > I have been trying out a way to send an email to the new user with a > token on a submitting the user registration form and finally saving > the user into the database when the token has been exicuted. > > This is excatly like the bakery.cakephp.org user registration system. > So far the closest tutorial/code snippet I have found for the same is > > http://edwardawebb.com/programming/php-programming/cakephp/reset-lost... > > and a slightly outdated tutorial for the same in the bakery.
