With a default installation, I tried to create a user account. Each time, I get the error "Please enter a username" but the username field is already filled! No matter what I do, I keep getting that error even if all the fields are filled correctly.

Please provide more information about your server, MODx version, etc. See my signature (help us help you) for more details.

How are you trying to create the user account?

[mlchai]

I'm trying to create it using this:

http://shuve.com/modx/request-an-account.html

Does it work for you? I've tried on Safari and Firefox but I get the same error.

Are you sure that you have the right name for the input field as the value being checked for input? If you look at the source code for websignup.inc.php, it's looking for

Code:

    $username = $modx->db->escape($modx->stripTags($_POST['username']));
...
    if($username=="") {
        $output = webLoginAlert("Missing username. Please enter a user name.").$tpl;
        return;
    }
...

In your form, you have wsu_username.

[mlchai]

Thanks, it works now. I had to remove wsu_ from username, email and password. Just as a note, this was a clean install of MODx, I did no changes. In other words, it came like that so the devs might want to take a look into that.

[rthrash]

Thanks for pointing that out... should be addressed for 0962

[NetApex]

Thanks for the confirmation, I was having the same issue (clean install no changes).  Tossed the wsu_ and everything works well now.

I can also confirm that I had this issue as well.. Even started a topic before I changed it to cover my other issue with the same form.
