Empty private ID (PID) when new user signs up

    I have the following issue:

    When a participant signs up using the front-end registration form [pdb_signup], an empty private ID is generated. If however I use the backend to generate a new participant, a proper PID is generated and assigned.

    I wonder what could be the issue. I guess I have made some wrong configurations when setting up the plug-in. Does anyone have a clue what I could have done wrong, and what I could do to resolve it?

    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Here is a screenshot of my preference settings. I don’t see any private_id field in the html of my form.

    After the update to version 1702 the private ID of new registrants does not appear in the backend participants list;
    in the listing obtained through the pdb_list shortcut all new registrants show the same (invalid) PID RPNE2

    Help!! my registration form was based on the PID;
    all worked well before the last two recent updates.

    I’m very sorry to hear these reports, but I have not been successful in reproducing the problem. So at the moment, I’ve made no progress on solving this for you.

    Hi,

    What I noticed was that when I’m logged in the website I can generate a new valid participant with a private ID. But without being logged does not work (no private ID).

    This is exactly the same I experienced

    OK, that is helpful. I’ll get back with a solution (I hope!) in a few hours.

    Is anyone here using caching?

    Confirmed, being logged in does generate the ID. Being logged out produces NULL.

    No caching here.

    Updated Participants Database Version 1.7.0.2, still able to reproduce the issue. Logged in status affects generation of ID.

    Following that update: disabled all plugin extensions, still was able to reproduce the issue. Logged in status affects generation of ID.

    negative.
    I will grant you access to my testsite.

    OK I found the bug. It’s coming in the next update later today.

    If you want to fix in now, it in the file participants-database.php on line 1722 you’ll find:

    if ( !self::current_user_has_plugin_role( 'editor', 'readonly access' ) && $column->readonly != '0' ) {

    change that to:

    if ( !self::current_user_has_plugin_role( 'editor', 'readonly access' ) && $column->readonly != '0' && $column->group !== 'internal' ) {

    and the new signups will get their private ID

    Great! Working again. Thanks!
