Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi,
I would like to propose another feature for this module. Before this module was posted, I made a preregister module. The idea behind it:
Let's say you are still working on your website and it is not ready yet, but you already have a frontpage. Before you actually want to open up your website for user registration, it may be you want to give visitors the opportunity to leave their email address so you can inform them as soon as the website will be open for login. The preregister module only contains a form with one textfield for leaving the email address. The email address will be used for making a new user account, but the visitor wont be notified.
As soon as you want to open your website for login, you can send the preregistered people an email telling them they can login with their email address and a provided password.
The attached module has been written for 4.6.x
Do you think it is usefull to add this feature in the logintoboggan module?

jjeff commentedI can see how this function might be related to Login Toboggan, but my gut feeling is to keep these separate.
How are you notifying users when the site is launched? How are you getting their passwords to them? Are they set as blocked to start with? How are you unblocking them? Does this scale to a large site with hundreds of users preregistering?
Just curious. ;-)

toemaz commentedTo answer your questions:
I didn't make that procedure yet. But it would send a mail to all preregistered users telling the website is online and giving them a password (random made).
You could do this. But at this moment, you can set a role which will be given to the preregistered users. Blocking isn't necessary that way. But of course, blocking/unblocking might be just a setting you want to add to this module.
I guess thus module can easily scale with hundreds of users preregistering. As a matter of fact, I am using the module right now. Yet, I still have the make the procedure to mail them when the website goes online.
