Problem/Motivation

When user_save is called without a mail attribute, a warning is issued by php:

Notice: Undefined index: mail in user_save() (line 536 of .../modules/user/user.module).

This happens for instance when a new user is registered in user_external_login_register.

In the mean time, you can work around this by making sure $edit['mail'] is set to anything, even an empty string.

This patch does not apply against D8. Will need some work.

Rerolled for D8. Set to RTBC if the tests pass.

Just marked #1126126: trim() causes error with empty mailadresses in user.module as a duplicate which suggested the same patch.

It seems to be not required at all anymore for d8? User is not a proper object without the $edit parameter etc.

I think that #14 is right and that this is no longer relevant for Drupal 8/9. So, changing to Drupal 7.

Status: Needs work » Closed (outdated)

Automatically closed because Drupal 7 security and bugfix support has ended as of 5 January 2025. If the issue verifiably applies to later versions, please reopen with details and update the version.
