Thanks for this module. Its exactly what I was looking for.

I'd like to request a couple of changes to make it easier to invite multiple users. Instead of a one line text field for entering email addresses, it would be great if this could be a multi-line textbox and allow it to accept a lot more characters than just 128. Also change the button text from "Invite User" to "Invite User(s)" or just "Invite". This would make it much clearer to group admins that they can invite more than one person at a time.

Also, it would be nice if the addresses could be separated by either a new line character or comma so that one email address per line would be acceptable.

Often, my users want to set up a group and then invite say 50 people from their mailing list to join. If we could simply copy and paste the addresses into a text box and click invite, that would be great.

thanks

Looks like a nice feature-to-have.

Yeah, I had been wondering about that as an idea as well.
It is possible that I will get some time for this this week, unless dingo wants to submit a patch?

Hi,

I've created a patch for this because I have been meaning to for quite a while. Feel free to review or amend.

Reviewed the patch and made some small changes on labels and descriptions to suite for inviting multiple users.
Recreated the patch based on latest dev from today and marking as RTBC.

Nice work.

I had a go installing this patch but i got hunk errors. I'm new to the world of creating and applying patches so most probably i'm working off a different base version.

@dingo, first update OG Invite People module to latest dev from today and the patch will apply.

The patch installs fine now. I've tested it out and it works well.
