Hi there

Really stoked to find this great little module. But I'm still a newbie to Drupal and was just wanting a bit more explaination on where to add the $path in the code. It would be nice to be able to set this in the user settings with the email template?

I also would really, really like the feature to send a one time link to all users. I'm not so gifted to add the code, button etc. Not sure of all your the reasons not to add it. Couldn't a warning message be used? Adding it to the "User list" page in the "Update options" dropdown would be fantastic.....

Any help would be appreciated
Tan

I don't understand that question. Are you familiar with PHP?

I also would really, really like the feature to send a one time link to all users.

You can easily make a script like so to do that:

<?php
$path = 'whatever/path/to/start';
$result = db_query("SELECT uid FROM {users}");
while ($row = db_fetch_array($result)) {
  $account = user_load(array('uid' => $row['uid']));
  login_one_time_send_mail($account, $path);
}
?>

I don't understand the suggestion.

Sorry, I'm not so familiar with PHP - but with some simple directions I can often manage.

My key question was - where do I set the path?

When I click the "Send one time login link to xxx" it sends the email and generates a one time link that has a path set to the user details page. I want just want the sites home page.

You mentioned in the module usage that:

If you would like them to start on a particular page, you can add an extra parameter $path like so:
print login_one_time_button($account, $path);

I guess it is obvious but could you please give some basic directions on where to put this code?

Put the code wherever you need it mate, in a node template or something.
The path they will go to is the value of $path.
You really need to learn some basic PHP :/ I can't teach that to you here.

If I'm not mistaken this code will give an a new button?

I just want to modify the path for the exisitng button that appears on the user account page.

The only place I see to set the path is in the login_one_time.module, I'll try adding the path here:
'#value' => login_one_time_button($account, "http://mysite/?q=node/99"),

/**
 * Implementation of hook_user().
 */
function login_one_time_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
  switch ($op) {
    case 'view':
      if (user_access('send link to login one time')) {
        $account->content['login_one_time'] = array(
          '#title' => t('One-time login'),
          '#type' => 'item',
          '#value' => login_one_time_button($account),
          '#weight' => 10,
        );
      }
      break;
  }
}

No worries now.
I managed to get what I want.
Not ideal but will do for immediate needs.
