Resend Activation Code Hack Needed
 

Our ISP decided to upgreade and recompile out Apache and PHP the other day, because of this our email from our server has been very flakey.

The ISP has found the problem and now email is working correctly again.

We have had a lot of new members sign up who may have not received their Activation Code due to our servers email problem.

We need a way for these users to click a link so they can resend their activation codes to their email address.

I found an OLD hack here that does this but it does not work for me. (We are running VB 2.2.6 still)

Can anyone help? Thanks!

This is already in the admin CP, albeit one user at a time. Amy (IIRC) also released a more powerful version with customizable text and cron integratable (if that's a word).

Is there not an option in the admin-cp that does this?

If i remember correctly there is an option on the admin index to re-send activation codes.

I know that, but we have so many users sign up over the past week I dont want to send them all by hand (and figure out whos new) etc.

I would like to make something so that it says on a screen, "If you are a new member and have not recieved your activation code in your email please "click here" to resend this code"

BTW thanks for the quick replies. :)

There's also a hack that uses show_nopermission() differently for each usergroup. You can also use the conditional templates hack and check the usergroupid; if it's whatever UAEV is, display the message in the header.

IIRC I put the text in the reg screen, and I completely rewrote the nopermission templates for similar reasons.

Ths hack is where? I want it, I'm already tired of resending activation codes!
