New User Registration Error

[baberuth22]

I can create the master user with no problem, but when I try to create another user, I get the following error.

Slim Application Error
The application could not run because of the following error:

I've tried two fresh installs running PHP7 MAMP. Any insights?

The error indicates static::$app is undefined on the line:
$this->from_email = static::$app->site->admin_email;

Is it that $app is undefined, or $app->site? I haven't actually played with PHP7 yet, so it is possible that this is some compatibility issue.

I run PHP Version 7.0.4 (XAMPP) on my local machine and haven't experienced any issues registering or creating users as root. I'm certainly not an expert but I would comment out these lines: https://github.com/userfrosting/UserFrosting/blob/master/userfrosting/controllers/AccountController.php#L425-L451 and try again... Just to narrow down the issue.

[baberuth22]

@thomasspe I commented out those lines registered without error so the issue is right there.

@alexweissman I downgraded to PHP5 and still see the error.

Ok full disclaimer: I'm not an expert and if you follow my advice it's basically trial and error until something works without necessarily knowing why it works. If pretty much any other person gives you advice, prefer their advice over mine.

Next thing I would check would be in my database in the uf_configuration table that I have set the admin_email and site_title to something meaningful (check for leading and trailing white spaces). If so I would comment out this line and uncomment the things I commented out before: https://github.com/userfrosting/UserFrosting/blob/master/userfrosting/models/notify/Notification.php#L71 and insert this:

$this->from_email = 'test@test.com';

and then see if I get an error because of static::$app->site->site_title; or a mailer error.

I agree with @thomasspe about changing line 71. You also want to make sure that the email account listed for the from/admin email actually exists as it must be a real account when using PHPMailer.

[alexweissman]

But this should give an SMTP error message, no?

[cmy82]

It throws an error, but from my memory from using in a script it failed silently unless debugging was turned on, and I don't know how errors are handled in UF, so it might display it or not. But I know with PHPMailer the account has to exist to be used.

[baberuth22]

    public function fromWebsite($reply_to_email = null, $reply_to_name = null){
        //$this->from_email = static::$app->site->admin_email;
        //$this->from_name = static::$app->site->site_title;
        //$this->reply_to_email = $reply_to_email ? $reply_to_email : static::$app->site->admin_email;
        //$this->reply_to_name = $reply_to_name ? $reply_to_name : static::$app->site->site_title;
        $this->from_email = 'admin@domain.com';
        $this->from_name = 'Admin';
        $this->reply_to_email = 'noreply@domain.com';
        $this->reply_to_name = 'Admin';
    }

After commenting out lines that reference the non existent static::$app the code reaches a new error.

The "./templates" directory does not exist.

[alexweissman]

Yeah, I have the feeling that there is a bigger problem here. It seems to me like the entire setupTwig function isn't getting called at all: https://github.com/userfrosting/UserFrosting/blob/master/userfrosting/models/UserFrosting.php#L129-L195

This is both where $app->site is created, and where the template paths are added.

[alexweissman]

Btw, setupTwig is supposed to get called in initialize.php:

UserFrosting/userfrosting/initialize.php

Line 187 in bc440d4

$app->setupTwig();
