Several Questions about Customized Self-Register

Hi all,
I have several questions during my dev of customize self-registeration：

1) I've created a Community called "https://dev-conagradev.cs65.force.com/readyseteat",  but to my surprise is that there's a suffix "/s"……Why? I cannot remove that at all. How can I remove that?

2) I entered the "builder" of that to select a self-registeration page (My selection is "SelRegister"——A lightning page with some components):

But to my surprise——When I run the page I always receive an error (See the red below), why? I do nothing to do codes at all.
Even if I tried to do some alerts, I didn't see anything popped up to me？No alert dialog pops out？

In my Server-side code, where to see "System.Debug"? I see nothing outputted in the Developer Console……

Is there any full example of using SelfRegister page to implement your own registeration step by step? Thanks!

Hi Wei Dong, 

First issue:
This is product behavior, there is an idea submitted for the same. Upvote and comment it https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000cKd5AAE

Second issue:
You are reporting that the 'init' method is not executed in the component load. can you post component code so that we can take a look on that?

While working on the lightning components always start debugging from the component side.

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply:

I did nothing to the codes (I mean the codes are auto generated):

【SelfRegisterController.js】 
({
    initialize: function(component, event, helper) {
        console.log('initialize entered');
        $A.get("e.siteforce:registerQueryEventMap").setParams({"qsToEvent" : helper.qsToEventMap}).fire();
        $A.get("e.siteforce:registerQueryEventMap").setParams({"qsToEvent" : helper.qsToEventMap2}).fire();        
        component.set('v.extraFields', helper.getExtraFields(component, event, helper));
    },
    
    handleSelfRegister: function (component, event, helpler) {
        alert('handleSelfRegister from Controller entered');
        helpler.handleSelfRegister(component, event, helpler);
    },
    
    setStartUrl: function (component, event, helpler) {
        var startUrl = event.getParam('startURL');
        if(startUrl) {
            component.set("v.startUrl", startUrl);
        }
    },
    
    setExpId: function (component, event, helper) {
        var expId = event.getParam('expid');
        if (expId) {
            component.set("v.expid", expId);
        }
        helper.setBrandingCookie(component, event, helper);
    },
    
    onKeyUp: function(component, event, helpler){
        //checks for "enter" key
        if (event.getParam('keyCode')===13) {
            helpler.handleSelfRegister(component, event, helpler);
        }
    }   
})
【SelfRegisterHelper.js】 
({
    qsToEventMap: {
        'startURL'  : 'e.c:setStartUrl'
    },
    
    qsToEventMap2: {
        'expid'  : 'e.c:setExpId'
    },
    
    handleSelfRegister: function (component, event, helpler) {
        var accountId = component.get("v.accountId");
        var regConfirmUrl = component.get("v.regConfirmUrl");
        var firstname = component.find("firstname").get("v.value");
        var lastname = component.find("lastname").get("v.value");
        var email = component.find("email").get("v.value");
        var includePassword = component.get("v.includePasswordField");
        var password = component.find("password").get("v.value");
        var confirmPassword = component.find("confirmPassword").get("v.value");
        var action = component.get("c.selfRegister");
        var extraFields = JSON.stringify(component.get("v.extraFields"));   // somehow apex controllers refuse to deal with list of maps
        var startUrl = component.get("v.startUrl");
        
        startUrl = decodeURIComponent(startUrl);
        
        action.setParams({firstname:firstname,lastname:lastname,email:email,
                password:password, confirmPassword:confirmPassword, accountId:accountId, regConfirmUrl:regConfirmUrl, extraFields:extraFields, startUrl:startUrl, includePassword:includePassword});
          action.setCallback(this, function(a){
          var rtnValue = a.getReturnValue();
          if (rtnValue !== null) {
              alert('selfRegisterError=== '+rtnValue);
             component.set("v.errorMessage",rtnValue);
             component.set("v.showError",true);
          }
       });
    $A.enqueueAction(action);
    },
    
    getExtraFields : function (component, event, helpler) {
        var action = component.get("c.getExtraFields");
        action.setParam("extraFieldsFieldSet", component.get("v.extraFieldsFieldSet"));
        action.setCallback(this, function(a){
        var rtnValue = a.getReturnValue();
            if (rtnValue !== null) {
                component.set('v.extraFields',rtnValue);
            }
        });
        $A.enqueueAction(action);
    },

    setBrandingCookie: function (component, event, helpler) {        
        var expId = component.get("v.expid");
        if (expId) {
            var action = component.get("c.setExperienceId");
            action.setParams({expId:expId});
            action.setCallback(this, function(a){ });
            $A.enqueueAction(action);
        }
    }    
})

I see only javscript code here, can you please post component code. And also please confirm that it is not logging the things mentioned inside the method 'initialize' is it?

PS：You can find the component inside a dev or sandbox's "c:selfRegister" control in the Developer Console and run directly to see the final result (I suspect whether I've missed something……)?

I see that there is initialize handler in your code  -> <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.initialize}"/>
so it should hit controller js file. Check in browser console whether you are seeing comments like  ''initialize entered''

Finally I see that when I change the code, the community has created a new component called "Custom Self Register" (I don't know why and I remember I didn't create it on purpose)……But when I drag and drop this into the component, it can OK. The codes are all below.

My another question is:  Why "Your Request cannot be processed"……Is there anythign wrong when calling "Site.createPortalUser"? Anything should be noticed?
Sai Bharadwaj GotetiSai Bharadwaj Goteti
Allow external users to self register in the communties settings by checking -->  Allow using standard external profiles for self-registration and user creation.
Setup --> All Communties --> open the Builder of your communty --> Settings --> General -->  Guset User Profile --> Add the Apex Class (LightningSelfRegisterController) related to the Self Registration.

Hope this helps.
