It would be nice to have a rules action to send the password recovery mail provided by Drupal core for a special user.

Maybe sending out all the other user related mail templates given in admin/config/people/accounts would be nice to have as rules actions too? But I don't know if this is really needed...

Hi Chris, I just created a new module for your request, since patching Drupal core is the last resort. I made a Rules Mail module that can be extended with further mail actions, like those you mention.

I'll be posting the module to Drupal contrib later on today, but you can take a look at it here in the attached file.

Best Regards!

..or.. you could patch the user.eval.inc and user.rules.inc files in rules\modules directory. I attached the patches here.

Hope it helps.

Thx chony! The patches are not working because they are not relative to the module folder. Can you fix this?
Maybe having just one patch file for all your changes would be nice to have too. I am not using netbeans but this should be feasible...

And please have a look again at coding styles (indents, brackets): http://drupal.org/coding-standards

Thx, the patch applied cleanly now.

I have tested the patch and it works fine! Great work!

One thing left: The type of the watchdog message should be the module name. But then it should be done imho.

#1031530: Add a User action "Send account e-mail" has a rather complete and more powerful patch covering this also - please collaborate over there and test the patch.
