4.3.4 Character creation limitation

[Elblacko2]

Hello All,

I'm currently using the 4.3.4 BLIZZLIKE CATACLYSM - V.7 rep, when connecting in with the client I'm unable to create any race that requires the Cataclysm expansion.

In the server config I've enabled the expansion and have not set any race creation restrictions.

Does some one have a idea what could cause this issue?

You've said you "enabled those settings in the config", but they should be enabled by default. I just want to clarify, were you able to create Cata races before you changed any settings?
It's possible the account you're using does not have access to the Cata expansion, regardless if it's enabled server-wide or not. Try creating a new account without changing anything, just create the account, log in, and try to create a new Cata race character.

If that still doesn't work, I would recommend re-downloading the repack and not change any settings, and see if you can create the Cata races.

Thanks for the help, I've seen if I create a character directly on to the server console it is working perfectly, when using the PHP account registration page from the Pandaria 5.4.8 repack it seems it wrongly creates the accounts in the database.
There for I'm not able to select/create any Cataclysm races.
Any idea where in the code I could look as I'm new to the PHP world

Edit: Fixed the issue, had to allter the following part in the code:

PHP error check:

if(!ereg("^[0-[COLOR="#00FF00"]4[/COLOR]%]+$", $post_expansion)) { $errors[] = "Invalid input. Please try again."; }

Set expantion value:

<select name="expansion">
<option value="[COLOR="#00FF00"]2[/COLOR]">Wrath of the lich king</option>
<option SELECTED value="[COLOR="#00FF00"]3[/COLOR]">Cataclysm</option>
<option value="[COLOR="#00FF00"]4[/COLOR]">Mists of Pandaria</option>
</select>

Thank you for the help.
