(The administration module has really made some great strides from 4-5-6 -- Great work!)

I have a site where it is set that new accounts need administrative approval before being activated.

It would be nice if a new user got a message -- without the password -- saying that the account was being reviewed and THEN got an email with their password after the account was made active.

Right now, the user gets an email with username/password/login instructions and nothing is sent automatically when the account is activated. This is confusing for new users and causes some to never come back to the site to login.

Thanks for considering this feature.

You can install the module USER STATUS:
www.drupal.org/project/user_status
This will give you the ability to send notification on
Activation / Blocking / Deletion of an account.

I deleted the login-link from the standard mail and changed the text: "I received your application. Yoo will receive an email as soon as it is approved"

Then in user_status you can configure your email to be send upon activation.

Version: 8.x-dev » 5.x-dev
Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

Account created (awaiting approval) has been split from Account activation email in 6.x
So the issue belongs not to 8.x, but 5.x - and I think it's safe to mark it won't fix (any volunteer to commit it to 5.x-dev?)
