I have to add several users by hand in Admin CP and wondered if there was a way or a hack so that the new user could be emailed their username and pass without me having to go into my email acct and do it manually? I know that when the register on the board with the registration service that it sends out an email but I have to do all these users by hand.
What's the easiest way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your help! |

You should never mail them their password.
If you don't have many (none ![]() - Create the new users and put them in the 'Awaiting Email Confirmation' usergroup. - Go to AdminCP->Users->Send Mail to Users - Select to send mail to all users in the 'Users Awaiting Email Confirmation' usergroup only. You can ofcourse use more selection criteria, like registration date, etc.. - Send them a mail with the $activateid & $activatelink - They will receive a mail to activate their account and set a password. If you have many users signing up themself a day, you could do the same, but for making it easier to select them, you can fill out one of the User Profile Fields when you create the user, with a word that makes it easy for you to select them when you send out the mail. |

Yes you can put a password, but they would have to change it using the lost password link. Never send out passes by mail.
To use those variable, just include them in the mail text. |

One more question -
I've tried this and sent the email to myself just to see what would happen. Once they click on the link and are entered into the moderation queue and I approve them, how do they then log into the board? They won't know their password that I've set ( I have to put a pass in when creating a user - it won't allow me to create them otherwise) so will they have to do the lost password retrieval to get a password? Many thanks for your help - you've narrowed down my work quite a bit. |

They can use the lost password link to create a new pass for themself.
This is the problem with admin created accounts, since it is not safe to send a password using mail. |
