Essam, they can still activate themselves. That system did not get impaired in any way.

bokhalifa, this is the template email_lostpw -- it's the same template that people get when they lost their password and request for it.

mmm,,
Is there a way to send all the unactivated members a new password? instead of still requiring them to activate themselves.

Essam, go to the Control Panel -> Usergroups. Click in 'list users' next to Users Awaiting Email Confirmation. For each user you can:

1) change his usergroup to 'registered'
2) click on 'send password'

If you have more than a dozen or so, let me know and I'll write you a quick script to run to do that in a batch.

thank you bira

good hack min;)

More than a dozen?! :)
I have 1319 member awaitning confirmation

I would really appreciated if you write me that hack. The hack will send a random password right?
Cause for the normal password this can be done from "Email Users".

Essam with so many, I would actually recommend you delete them, because there are bound to be a lot of duplicate people who tried several times, or people who tried a long time ago and forgot about it.

If, however, you want to send them a password anyway and don't mind about "dead" registrations, then you could just do the following two steps IN THAT ORDER:

1) email password to all the users in the "Users Awaiting Email
Confirmation"

2) AFTER sending the e-mail, run a MySQL query via phpMyAdmin:

Personally, I would recommend you delete all those accounts who are, say, one month old. If you want to do this, then run the following command BEFORE you do steps 1 and 2 mentioned above:

Thank you bira,
I'll try that.

Is this hack for rc1 or rc2 ?
