Membership login - admin approval?

Hi Nigel,

There are a couple of options here.

The first thing you'll need to do is change the signup script so that the "disabled" field is checked by default. This would stop someone from logging in even if they had the password. It will also make it easy for admins to identify which accounts need to be approved. After that, you should remove the code that sends the email.

Next, you have a couple of options:
1) When an admin approves an account (ie, changes disabled from checked to unchecked), they create a new password for the user, and manually email them.

2) We write a custom plugin that when the account is approved, a new random password is generated and emailed to the user.

If you are interested in the second options, please email consulting@interactivetools.com to go over options.

Hope this helps.
