I am evaluating different blog packages and would prefer not to email passwords to users. Can geeklog accomodate a different method?
thanks

Currently ? No.

However Dirk (dhaun on #geeklog) is working on (has completed) a custom user registration method to work with GeekLog. It gives the admin a list of users that have registered and the admin must specifically approve or reject them.

They still get an emailed password I believe, but if you\'ve done any PHP it should be relatively simple to allow them to sign up with a password and you just approve them.

Any way I can get my hands on this registration modification?

Thanks,
Frank

This modification is part of Geeklog since Version 1.3.6 :-) It's called the user submission queue. Set

$_CONF['usersubmission'] = 1;

in your config.php. After that change, requests for site membership are queued just like story submissions (and can be approved or rejected similarily from the Admin's moderation page).

bye, Dirk

If you search for the text in the language file that appears when a new user would normally sign-up, replace it with text like "to sign-up as a new user, please email me".

This is not an elegant solution, but if you need to get it done ...
