I'm building a premium membership site where a visitor can purchase a role and gain access to the privileged content using ubercart. I've got all that working fine, but the last tiny snag that my client wants to remove is to remove the validation email that's fired when someone signs up on the site. I've got nothing set that is forcing this extra step and I've come to believe that this may be a feature in core for any user that registers. I was hoping that this module (login toboggan) would eliminate that step but I've not as of yet been able to do so.

I can allow the newly registered user access by setting that in the module, but the notification and validation email requirement still remains. Can anyone recommend a way around this? I just want them to be able to come to the site purchase their membership without any validation/confirmation email. Is this possible?

Thanks -

Rob

sorry for the delayed response. Unfortunately, this feature is not part of LT. It doesn't get rid of the core requirement to validate an email address, as that's a fundamental security feature. However, you could assign a user to the authenticated user role. However, that's a potential security issue, unless you are really careful about what permissions that role has. The potential risk is that you have given a rogue user access to your site with all the permissions of an authenticated user despite the fact that no authentication has taken place. However, if this is being done in the context of handing money over, you might use this model with the authenticated user having minimal permissions, and a new role of 'trusted' user having the permissions normally assigned to an authenticated user.
