Hi!

I have a question. Some users of my app noticed an interesting thing.
In my Strapi app, I have enabled email confirmation. When you click twice in activating link, you see a 400 error with the message “token.invalid”.

I think this isn’t user-friendly. Is there a way to add a custom 400 page in that case? Or maybe add a redirect to my frontend app?

Thanks for your answers!

Hi, I found a solution!

If you want to change the default behaviour of emailConfirmation link, You can overwrite emailConfirm function.

github.com

strapi/strapi/blob/077741b03725cc981bc984399d553df8a12d89d0/packages/strapi-plugin-users-permissions/controllers/Auth.js#L537

    
      
                ? {
                    id: 'Auth.form.error.username.taken',
                    message: 'Username already taken',
                  }
                : { id: 'Auth.form.error.email.taken', message: 'Email already taken' };
          
          
    ctx.badRequest(null, formatError(adminError));
            }
          },
          
          
async emailConfirmation(ctx, next, returnUser) {
            const { confirmation: confirmationToken } = ctx.query;
          
          
  const { user: userService, jwt: jwtService } = strapi.plugins['users-permissions'].services;
          
          
  if (_.isEmpty(confirmationToken)) {
              return ctx.badRequest('token.invalid');
            }
          
          
  const user = await userService.fetch({ confirmationToken }, []);

Just paste this function to /extensions/users-permissions/controllers/Auth.js file, and change the default behaviour of redirecting.

Any idea if this still works in Strapi v 4.10.x ? I need to do change the redirect behavior to include the JWT for my front-end so I can log the user in right away.

I tried creating the auth.js file under src/extensions/controllers but it doesn’t seem to be picked up by Strapi at all.
