Releases for Temporary Invitation

Bugfix release: The only change is that it now works correctly with path aliases when those include slashes (e.g. "invitations/edit").
If you don't need that, you can safely skip this update.

Fix the redirection issue once and for all. There's only one "delete" menu path now that works with the "destination" attribute, which should perform a tad better and enables better usage of the temporary_invitation_overview() function for themers.

I think this will be the final 5.x-2.0 version, I'm really satisfied with it now. If no further bugs show up, I'll re-release this as 5.x-2.0 in the next few days.

Minor polishing release: The only difference is the expiration setting pulled from the mail preview to the mail creation form, so that the time can be seen in the preview already.

Before pushing 5.x-2.0 out to the masses, I wanted to include one more cool feature, and that's (optional) support for the Token module. Given that, support for workflow-ng is basically free, so I included that one as well.

The formerly used manual replacement of variables like !invited_uid or !login_code is still in there without a hard dependency on Token, but the variable format has been unified (e.g. it's [invited-user:uid] or [invitation:login-code] now), so please run update.php once more. But that should now do for the 5.x-2.x series, I think - no further data changes planned.

In case no bugs are found, this release will be the same as 2.0. I hope it's ok, and this time it cannot screw up your database scheme (I'm still embarrassed about that upgrade bug in 2.0-rc1). Please test and report back, you might like it!

"Temporary Invitation 2.0: so much better than the first one"

This is actually a huge overhaul of the Temporary Invitation module. It now works not only better and more usable (hopefully), but also rather different than the previous 5.x-1.x releases. Which means that you should probably see the new 2.x as a replacement rather than an evolution. (I do hope that all necessary use cases are covered, though.)

The major change is that users now draft their invitation mails by themselves, and by that I was also able to get rid of quite a few settings. It is now compulsory to have mails sent to the invited entity, which includes the nice feature of integrating login codes inside the mail automatically (by using a mail template that incorporates the user supplied e-mail body). Additionally, there's a preview where the user can have a look at the complete mail (amended with login information)
before sending it to the invitee.

That, and a freaking lot of other cool features:

• Multiple users can now send invitations to the same mail address. (Yeah, that was a pretty grave design bug in 5.x-1.x. Fixing it required to change the database schema a bit, so run update.php.)
• Users that already exist (from a mail address point of view) can now also be invited, and don't even get blocked/deleted when the invitation expires. Whoo!

• Don't invite users with mail addresses that already belong to an existing user (#145923).
• Fully load the user objects before updating roles when they have been changed in the admin form.

Yah, here comes a rather big one. Remember to run update.php after copying the new version to your module directory.

The main feature of this release is support for notification mails that are sent to invited users, in addition to the already supported notification mails for the host users. I needed to restructure some things here and there, so this feature comes with a load of modifications:

This release introduces hook_temporary_invitation(), and lets the .inc file (containing the public API) be included without including the .module file as well.

Now works with 'open_basedir restriction in effect', and/or PHP 4. This release is brought to you by drupal.org users joeblow and ambrielangel, thanks for the notifications and patches.
