Is there something I'm doing wrong.

I have the system set that new user registration requires activation by an admin.

1. User submits request for account.
2. They get a message from the system saying they've applied.
3. I go to the User and Edit it and select Active and then save the profile. There is no option that I can see to send the user the Welcome E-mail.
4. User receives no welcome e-mail saying they are active.

Question:
1. Am I doing something wrong?
2. Is there a way I can "re-send" the Welcome E-mail through the admin panel. I've searched high and low and on this forum to no avail.

Thanks,

Rich

I'm using Drupal 4.7.2 - there is no auto welcome email to let the user know his/her account has been acitvated. But when you can send it manually through the Contact form:

User / Contact

Maybe future versions will have authenticated notice.

Thanks,

I've used the manual Contact Form. The problem was that the "Awaiting Approval" default message was confusing to the user because it told him to await activation and even gives him a one-time link to login. I've edited that portion to make it clearer they can't do either until I activate them.

The contact form thing isn't too hard but I just had wished to wait to send the login info until after they were activated to give them their username/password at the time of activation to eliminate confusion.

I thought I was doing something wrong. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement a "Send welcome e-mail" message in some sort of Admin contact form. I wish I had the time to learn the programming stuff more.

I too would like to offer another welcome your authenticated e-mail to users, without using the contact feature. Anyone know enough to write a module?

Here is a quick patch that does pretty much what you guys are asking. I've been frustrated with the same things. This patch adds the ability to re-notify the user of the new account.

Still thinking about what messages to send under different create user circumstances.
