      I’ve recently added this snippet to my website. It works great, but I had a couple of issues. Firstly, it didn’t verify as XHTML compliant if using the built-in template. There was a small error with the naming of the radio-button label name. Also, when it was set-up to email an administrator when someone signed up, it would always send the email address of the administrator to the administrator. Not what was intended, obviously wink.

      Anyway, I’ve fixed these issues and include the new code here:

      // RegisterX - snippet for MODx 0.9x
      // April 2006
      // [email protected]
      // Version 1
      // Adds and removes users from a given web user group
      // June 2006
      // Version 1.1 - fixed the bug where an existing web user
      // would get signed up if he tries to sign out when he's not
      // already a member of the web group
      
      // options
      //     &usergroup=`webgroup` - required! Form will not be displayed
      //                             without a valid web user group!
      //     &sendadmin=`address`  - optional, will send notification to supplied address
      //     &senduser=`1|0`       - optional, will send notification to user's address
      //     &tpl=`chunkname`      - optional, chunk to use as form template
      
      // text

      What is the accepted practice for submitting fixes like this? I’m conscious of the fact that sometimes, snippets can end up having many different versions.
