Subject: ACP Add User MOD

Ok, here it goes. It definitely works since all my users use it flawlessly. This is the first time I posted stuff on here, so let me know if it doesn't work.

Changes Made Summary: Took out the random password generator. Added a password and confirm new password field. These fields will start auto-populated with the default password. The default password can be changed under the board preferences. Everything else is the same...

Open: /adm/style/acp_add_user.html
FIND:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF ERROR -->
        <div class="errorbox"><h3>{L_WARNING}</h3>

Highway of Life: Simple but great MOD - congrats

[notsa]

nice one thanks

[funowner]

sorry Highway! My translation was too late. I posted it at startrekguide. I hope you can still have a use of it.

[notsa]

if board email is disables and the registration validation is set to none, how do i set the password for the user or how does the user login?

[Highway of Life]

sorry Highway! My translation was too late. I posted it at startrekguide. I hope you can still have a use of it.

Its not too late, I decided to give the translators some more time. Your translation will be included shortly.

if board email is disables and the registration validation is set to none, how do i set the password for the user or how does the user login?

For now, your e-mail has to work for the users to get the password, OR after creating the user, click on the link to continue editing the user's profile, and set the password for that user in the overview screen.

[notsa]

oh ok thanks mate.

[r4wMUnt34q]

I would like to make a feature request for the next version, if possible .

If e-mails are disabled on a board, there should be an ability for an admin to set the users password, because right now with this setting the admin has to go to user administration and change newly created user's password... Correct me if Im wrong...

Sure thing, will do. -- Should be a quick fix, so I’ll release it with the extra Translations you guys provided.

[UncleVIBES]

I wish also another feature. (if possible)

I like to define a special group during this registration. It's not often the administrator create new users or in special circumstances. In my case I create users to convince some distributors to follow the forum & we give them special rights.
What do you think of this addon?

[Highway of Life]

I’m not quite sure I follow. Can you elaborate and/or give me an example?

[UncleVIBES]

Yes of course... We are making software for bedroom & pro dj's & we try to make more than since 2003. Now with phpbb3 we manage the download of updates & we feel in a safe aera to open forums for our distributors to give them the idea to follow their clients on the site. On these forum nothing need a challenge to hack the security but they need to be confidential, what phpbb3 does very well today.
I like your mod because these people need to be feed. They don't have the time, you know the story, time is money so I can register them with their email adress & I think with a click it will be quick & easy to give them the extra-powers their very important function need.

Thanks for the great mod. Wish more mods were as easy to install :p
