email when admin approves account: can it get into 4.7?
1 sentance summary: when drupal is configured to require admin approval for user, it should only email the temporary password once the admin has moved the account from blocked to active. http://drupal.org/node/5689 (you can tell from the node id this issue has been around a long time) ;) this is a *major* usability feature for site admins... i'd consider it a "critical" issue, but i don't know if anyone else feels that way. i've got a patch working for this in 4.6 (which is obviously frozen), since that's what i'm using and many other folks want it. if i made time to update the patch to work in 4.7 is there any chance that would make it into 4.7 before the freeze (it's in core -- user.module)? if so, i'll bump this to the top of my drupal-hackery list and get it done ASAP. if it's not going to get into 4.7 no matter how fast i do it, i'll work on fixing it in 4.8... thanks, -derek

I suspect that it won't - we're working on critical bugfixes ONLY at the moment, and this is neither a bugfix, nor critical. -- Morbus Iff ( whooooooo's hoooouuuuuse? ) Technical: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus

What about 4.7.1? Literally yesterday evening I was teaching a new admin how to do the various user administration tasks and he was surprised that he has to manually send an extra email after activating the account to let users know their account is activated. I was going to open a bug, but coincidentally this one showed up. Greg

Greg It is unlikely that new features get added to a point release (e.g. 4.7.0 to 4.7.1). Only serious bugs and security fixes are likely to make it there. That being said, you can take the change in the issue listed, and apply it to your own installation when you move to 4.7, as well as keep pushing for this to get into 4.8/5.0.

I would vote and argue for this feature being in 4.7.1. This bug is short of being a critical, show-stopper, so shouldn't go into 4.7, but it is a major problem for admins, and has been for a long time. ..chrisxj

If it's been so long, they won't mind waiting further. Let's make sure to fix it right in 4.8, and not force it into a release paradigm where it has no place. It's not a bug, as Drupal is functioning exactly as it has been coded and intended. Thus, it is a feature, and does not belong in a minor point release. -- Morbus Iff ( you are nothing without your robot car, NOTHING! ) Culture: http://www.disobey.com/ and http://www.gamegrene.com/ O'Reilly Author, Weblog, Cook: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/779 icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus

Minor point releases like that are only for bugs.

This can be done in a simple contrib too. Just use the hook_user. ITs really easy, I hacked such a thing up once (pre 4.6, makes no sense to contribute, sorry), its really easy.

Ber, If you send me the code, I will convert that to a 4.7 module, then the problem will have a solution.

a) hook_user_add() -> mail user b) Alter drupal_set_message() c) There is no c) jh
I know that it is simple. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I would build on what is there. On 3/2/06, John Handelaar <john@userfrenzy.com> wrote:

Its somewhere on some old clients system. Living in a HEAD module from before 4.6 Please do not ask me to contact taht client for the server details only to find this silly module, that is of no use for you anyway :). AFAIK that clients site is not online at all anymore. However, ill be nice: here is a starter :) http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/tricks/sympal_scripts/pos...
