XF 2.1 Approval of New User Registration

[carino]

When a new user registers, they become members of the default user group. That is fine and poses no issues. And, the new user must validate their email address before being allowed to proceed to viewing the forum.

What I would like to do is to that upon a new registration, first the user validates their email and then the new user registration request goes to a queue for the administrator to approve the registration. In addition, send an email to the admin that a new user has registered. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Steve

Set it up in ACP options to approve all new members. Then you'll see an approval menu up top next to the moderator/reports bar.

ACP > setup > options > user registration

Enable manual approval under registration setup.

But as far as admin receiving email when new user registers that would require custom development. Once you set this up, you'll have to approve all new members anyway and you'll get the notification up top for it.

Hello Jeb. What is ACP?

Thanks. I found it. Now it appears that only through a add-on can I get email notification of new registration. For now, this will do.

It seems I am not authorised to see the approval queue - where is that permission set? I have ticked the box in my id's General Moderator Permissions.

Are you physically setup as a moderator? Are you listed here?

/admin.php?moderators/

Great thanks - that's cracked it!
