Problem Found With Joomla Blog Engine
Hey guys,
After getting a low success rate with the Joomla Blog engine, I decided to run in debug to see what I can find out. One thing I noticed is that quite a few of the sites are giving me errors such as "form not found". So I went to some of the URLs to the registration form on the sites, by looking at the URL in the logs. What I noticed is that it tries to use this string for finding the registration forms:
http://www.dirrebreather.com/index.php?option=com_user&task=register
You can see in the engine file, that's where it thinks the registration form has to be. But the problem is, that not every Joomla blog site has that URL structure for their registration page. Like for the site above, I went to the home page manually, and then clicked on "Create An Account". Which then took me to this URL:
http://www.dirrebreather.com/index/index.php?option=com_user&view=register
And I did the same process with several other failed Joomla Blogs, where it gave me the "no form found" error. And when I manually go to the homepage, the registration URL is different than what GSA pulled.
So maybe if you can change the engine to where it tries to find the registration page using either of the URL strings above, it would greatly increase success rate.
Just thought I'd let you know :-)
