Registration on a website that is done by user, but confirmed by administrator.

In a registration form it is a must to provide some password and user is deactivated by setting publish date to zeroes.
Sample front-end form is similar to following:

Code: Select all


<cms:form masterpage=k_user_template mode='create' enctype='multipart/form-data'  method='post'  anchor='0' >

    <cms:if k_success >

        <cms:set random_password = "<cms:excerpt count='5' trail='' truncate_chars='1'><cms:random_name /></cms:excerpt>" scope='global' />

        <cms:db_persist_form
            _invalidate_cache='0'
            k_page_title = "<cms:concat frm_first_name ' ' frm_last_name />"
            k_publish_date = '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
            extended_user_password = random_password
            extended_user_password_repeat = random_password
        />

 
            <cms:if k_success >

                <cms:send_mail from=k_email_from to=frm_extended_user_email subject='New Account Confirmation' debug='1'>

</cms:form>





Now in Users' template we can build the following picture, with required fields and a special radio button to enable account. By default such functionality (in the form of a checkbox) appears in default Couch Users section, so this effort will also make it available in our Extended Users template.

Editable part of 'cms:template' block with 'config_form_view' is as follows for our sample (with bootstrap addon viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11023&p=28462#p28418 ):
Code: Select all

<!--
    If additional fields are required for users, they can be defined here in the usual manner.
-->

<cms:editable name='row_1' type='row' order='-10'>
    <cms:editable type='text' name='first_name' label='First Name' required='1' class='col-xs-2' />
    <cms:editable type='text' name='last_name' label='Last Name' required='1' class='col-xs-2' />
    <cms:editable type='text' name='phone_number' label='Phone Number' required='1' class='col-xs-2' />
</cms:editable>
<cms:editable name='row_2' type='row' order='-5'>
    <cms:editable type='text' name='company' label='Company' required='1' class='col-xs-3'/>
    <cms:editable type='text' name='position' label='Position' required='0' class='col-xs-3'/>
</cms:editable>

<cms:editable type='securefile' name='avatar' label='Avatar' show_preview='1' quality='95' preview_width='1' allowed_ext='png, jpg, jpeg' max_size='20480' thumb_width='260' thumb_height='260'  show_preview='0'  use_thumb_for_preview='0' />


<cms:config_form_view>
    <cms:field 'k_page_name' hide='1' />
    <cms:field 'extended_user_id' hide='1' />
    <cms:field 'extended_user_email' order='-20' label='Email' />


    <cms:persist
        k_publish_date="<cms:if frm_my_publish_status='0'>0000-00-00 00:00:00<cms:else/><cms:date format='Y-m-d H:i:s' /></cms:if>"
        _auto_title='1'
    />

    <cms:field 'my_publish_status'  no_wrapper='1' order='-30'>
        <div id="my_publish_status" style="margin-top: 15px; ">
            <label for="my_publish_status">
                <cms:if k_page_date='0000-00-00 00:00:00' >
                <span class="label label-error">Status</span>
                <cms:else />
                <span class="label label-success">Status</span>
                <span class="desc">(password is mailed out)</span>
                </cms:if>
            </label>
            <cms:input type='radio'
                  name=k_field_input_name
                  opt_selected="<cms:if k_page_date='0000-00-00 00:00:00' >0<cms:else />1</cms:if>"
                  opt_values='Disabled=0 | Enabled=1'
                  label='Status'
                />
        </div>
    </cms:field>

</cms:config_form_view>





Now, in order to mail out a password, once Status has been changed from disabled to enabled, we have to enable a theme and add 'cms:send_mail' to the admin form (as discussed in Couch 2.0 topic viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10241 and Selective Override topic viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10438&p=25693#p25696 ).

So, my extended users template is '/users/index.php' therefore the snippet is couch/theme/my/content_form_users-index-php.html.
The only modified part is k_success block, which happens once the page in backend is saved.

Code: Select all

        <cms:if k_success >

            <cms:if frm_my_publish_status = '1' && frm_k_publish_date = '0000-00-00 00:00:00'>

                <cms:set random_password = "<cms:excerpt count='5' trail='' truncate_chars='1'><cms:random_name /></cms:excerpt>" scope='global' />

                <cms:db_persist_form
                    _invalidate_cache='1'
                    _token=k_cur_token
                    extended_user_password = random_password
                    extended_user_password_repeat = random_password
                />

                    <cms:if k_success >

                        <cms:send_mail from=k_email_from to=frm_extended_user_email subject='Account Confirmation' debug='1'>
Welcome!

Your username is: <cms:show frm_extended_user_email />.
Your password is: <cms:show random_password />.

If you have questions or if you need further information please do not hesitate to contact us at any time!

Your Team
<cms:show k_site_link />
                        </cms:send_mail>

                    </cms:if>

            <cms:else />

            <cms:db_persist_form
                _invalidate_cache='1'
                _token=k_cur_token
            />

            </cms:if>




It has been successfully implemented and every time a new user is enabled in backend, he is sent a fresh password.
Thanks
