Okay, after digging into the code I found the solution myself.

On the page user//invites/expired the invitees are displayed with the link 'resend'. This link is displayed only after the expiration date of the invite is in the past. This expiration is set on the moment of inviting.

Each expired invite can be invited resend seperately. In my case, a common case, this is a lot of work.

Does anyone has a solution to invite a bunch of invitees with one click?

Because I urgently needed a function to reinvite a group of people, I wrote a tiny module for that purpose.
The module displays a page from which existing invites can be selected. To avoid confusion, the second invite has the same registration code as the first. The module doesn't alter tables or columns in the database. For more details, see the Readme.txt file.

The module is tested and free of bugs as far as I know (you are never sure of course with software!) and used in production with succes. However, i'am not a professional programmer and kept the construction very simple with reuse of code from de node module and the invite module.

I proposed a CVS account for this module if useful for the community. But I am also OK if sma-ka integrates this in the invite module.

EDIT: USE THE IMPROVED VERSION UNDER #4

I don't if this is the right place to discuss this, but consider the following scenario:

User A invites user B.
User B joins.
Admin removes user B.
User A invites B again, but is not allowed to, because A has already invited B once.

Shouldn't Invite do some house keeping when a user is deleted?

Thanks for this Jaapx,
Did you ever get cvs account? I could not find this module in the drupal list.

Also, not sure if this is a configuration problem, but I did not get the full list of expired invitations, ( 250 out of 3000).

Thanks again :):)
JJ
