Folks: I hope I can get some help here. The RocketTheme folks aren't responsive. I use the SolarSentinel theme. I want new users to be able to register. I have set, in the "User Settings" admin interface, the "Visitors can create accounts and no administrator approval is required" option. However, I don't see the link to the /user/register node that lets a user create a new account. When I switch to the Garland theme, I do see this link, so it appears to be a problem with the theme.
This kind of problem makes drupal very frustrating for a newbie. As in several other issues like making the front page content show and making comments show, which require php file edits, this is probably some interior php file that must be edited. I've searched thru the php files for something obvious, but no dice.
Thanks, Bill

Just go to /admin/build/block (administer > site building > blocks) and enable the User login block for one of the regions the theme supports.

Hi Bill,
You may have already tried this but just in case, check in the admin > site building > blocks section to be sure that the user login is enabled. If you want a link to user login that's something that can be checked in the admin > site building > menus section.

Victor and Marty: Thanks for your suggestion. I have done this. The Login block does show. It just doesn't contain the "Register" link. It's fine with Garland. SolarSentinel doesn't show it. Bill

I worked around it by adding a block with a link to user/register page. It works. Funny about the theme. Thanks for the suggestions. Bill

The http://www.rockettheme.com/drupal-downloads page doesn't allow free downloads of the commercial theme you are discussing.
Check out the following handbook page, to see what overriding code in the theme may be causing the trouble:
Customizing user login, etc page: http://drupal.org/node/350634
Customizing user registration block: http://drupal.org/node/493650

Victor: Thanks. It appears to be in the code ( in the template.php file related to this is:
function solarsentinel_user_login_block(&$form){
$form['links'] = array('#value' => '<div id="sl_lostpass"><a href="/ user/password">Request new password</a></div>');
return drupal_render($form); }
I don't know enough php (and it's Drupal application) to brave changing it. It looks easy, but... devil's in the details. How should I change it to add in the "Create Account" with a link to /user/ register? If I just add an array element, will that fix it?
The other problem I've noticed is that the message that directs users to check their email for further instructions, after a new account is created, is missing from the front page. Any suggestions as to how to approach this fix?
Thanks for the help. Bill

Prothero, did you get an answer to this? I don't see one.
solarsentinel is providing a theme function to generate the block in question. The theme function, as you surmised, simply doesn't provide the register link.
You could simply add a line like this:
$form['register_link'] = array( '#value' => l(t('Register'), 'user/register'), '#prefix' => '<div id="sl_register">', '#suffix' => '</div>', );
If possible, I'd also modify the existing code to conform to Drupal best practices; i.e., using l() instead of hard coding the anchor markup, and wrapping the link text in t().
