XF 1.1 User Registration Email issue

[Antonio Coelho]

Hello,

My forum is a private forum and all user registrations are to be done manually via the ACP.
So we have disabled user registration on ACP > Options > User Registration > Deselected 'Enable Registration'

So far, so good...
The negative is this way the system will not send the confirmation email

Is it possible to still send the confirmation email with the 'Enable Registration' option deselected?

Thanks in advance,
Antonio

Untested, but this should do it:

library/XenForo/ControllerAdmin/User.php

Add the red code:

	/**
	 * Inserts a new user or updates an existing one.
	 *
	 * @return XenForo_ControllerResponse_Abstract
	 */
	public function actionSave()
	{
		$this->_assertPostOnly();

		$userId = $this->_input->filterSingle('user_id', XenForo_Input::UINT);

		if ($userId)
		{
			$user = $this->_getUserOrError($userId);
			$this->getHelper('Admin')->checkSuperAdminEdit($user);

			if ($this->_getUserModel()->isUserSuperAdmin($user))
			{
				$visitorPassword = $this->_input->filterSingle('visitor_password', XenForo_Input::STRING);
				$this->getHelper('Admin')->assertVisitorPasswordCorrect($visitorPassword);
			}
		}

		$userInput = $this->_input->filter(array(

			// essentials
			'username'               => XenForo_Input::STRING,

That should send a confirmation email when you create a new user in the Admin CP and set their user state to email confirm.

Hi Jake,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I gave it a go but it still doesn't work

 

[Antonio Coelho]

any other suggestion?

 

[Jake Bunce]

I just tested this code edit. It worked for me.

When I created the new user in the Admin CP I set them to awaiting email confirmation:



I received an email at the address I entered for the new user. I clicked the link and the account was activated.

You might be dealing with a spam filter on the receiving end. Try a different email address, or see this guide:
