Increasing the time for activation - Login package

I have a registration form that creates accounts and sends an activation email. I'm assuming since my users are complaining once they registered that their account is blocked that they did not click the activate button in their email in time?

I'm wondering where I would increase this time?

I've been looking in the login.class.php but no luck....wondering if this might be set in a template that i can't find somewhere or if their is a default value that comes with the package that I can change.


Thanks!

The &activationttl property of the Register snippet sets the time limit in minutes. The default is 180.

In the docs: https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/login/login.register, as Bob says, you need to add the following setting to the registration snippet call:

&activationttl=x

It's in minutes "Number of minutes until the activation email expires. Defaults to 3 hours."

So the default is 180 (3 hours, i.e. 180/60) when unspecified in your register snippet call. I've had clients demand up to a week of time (10080 minutes).

Looking at this closer I see that the [[!ConfirmRegister]] snippet is called after the user registers.

This snippet contains the following:



....can I add &activationttl=10080 to this?

The docs are here:

https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/login/login.confirmregister

That is not one of the properties. I don't know PHP so have no idea if it can be modified.

Thanks yes I reviewed the docs and did not come up with anything.

It's listed on this page: https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/login/login.register.

And, yes, you should be able to add &activationttl=10080 to the register snippet tag.

Thanks BobRay! So just to confirm [[!ConfirmRegister &activationttl=10080]] will work?

I can't see how it wouldn't, but I've never tested it directly. I did put it in my Register snippet (as part of the Subscribe package) at Bob's Guides and haven't had a complaint since.
