hi, i hope this is an easy question, but i didn't find answers elsewhere in the forum.
here's what i'm looking to do: 1) a parent registers with the site 2) the parent registers her child using just an email address 3) the child receives the verification email, and clicks on the link 4) the child then finishes the rest of the registration the part i'm having trouble with is the transition from (3) to (4). in (2) i was able to do a custom form to create the user and populate the registration_key field, no problem. but what i would like to do is have clicking on the verification link actually log in the user, and then use updates to set the rest of the variables. this isn't a security risk because it's just registration and there's no data about the child in the system. basically, i want the child to be logged in BEFORE having to set a password, then change it inside. is there a command i can use that will log a user in, or a way to set verification to automatically log in a user? thanks, matt
