I installed the module. I registered a test user.

"Thank you for applying for an account. Your account is currently pending approval by the site administrator.
In the meantime, your password and further instructions have been sent to your e-mail address."

I got this message.
Perhaps this module should come with a patch to say the email will be sent after the account is approved.

I guess I can find the line in user.module myself, but I think it'd be good to tell the webmaster in readme.txt of the need to change the message.

Title: patch needed for user_status module to user.module to say "email will be sent after approval" » option wanted in user_status module to delay password sent to user
Category: task » feature

Apparently I misunderstood. the email is sent immediately. this module sends a second email when the user is approved. I thought that this module also delayed the password email.

If the user is not approved, the user will wait and wait for a notification email. I believe nothing will happen. It would be good for this module to have an option to email the user with a select list of reasons for not being approved.

I am potentially willing to pay for this modification.

sorry, mariun, i was out of town for a few weeks, and am slowly catching up on stuff from while i was gone.

the 2 things you're asking about here seem completely unrelated to me, i'd rather they were separate issues so they can be handled independently.

the quick answer to the 1st question is that the text of the initial email is just a setting the site admin can control. so, sure, we could document that it's probably a good idea to change it, but otherwise, there's not really a "patch" we could provide to force admins to change what they have. but, maybe there are some tricks with form_alter() and variable_set() we could mess with. it's worth considering, but let's do it in another issue if you really want to talk about that.

i guess we'll just leave this issue with the current title, and can continue to talk about that new feature here. you should probably just use my contact tab (http://drupal.org/user/46549/contact) to discuss payment for your specific requests.

thanks,

re: changing the initial email text when you use this module to notify users when their account is activated, the README.txt, INSTALL.txt and help text when you view the admin/settings/user_status page are now all updated. see http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=51004 and other recent commits to DRUPAL-4-7 branch. i finally fixed http://drupal.org/node/61498 and http://drupal.org/node/66936. ;)

in terms of the other (main) request in here... i still don't need this functionality, so i'm not going to write it unless someone wants to hire me.

cheers,

now that user_status.module is part of D6 core (http://drupal.org/node/144859), moving this request to the core issue queue. if anyone's interested in seeing this before the D6 feature freeze, please assign this issue to yourself and work on a patch.
