User registration process improved

As well as photo gallery, account handling (net.nehmer.account) also got its share of love.

Registration got one step more to process as it is now possible to require administrator approval for a registration. This was required for a future MidCOM site of Servaali (yet to be published) needing to control who could subscribe as a user.

Simply switch Require administrator approval for a new user account to Yes (or the configuration key require_activation to true) and your want-to-be users need to go through your approval process. Configured administrator will get at the moment an email notification, but this is due to change as soon as I find the time to use org.openpsa.notifications, which can be configured to send an SMS if you please.

Approvals are also shown in navigation, so it should be rather easy to see if there are new people waiting for their judgement.

It's possible to approve or reject en masse or one at a time. Either select the user's name from the list or check their rows and be the jugde.

If you decide to reject, there is a quickly customizeable email message that you can send to the rejected users.

Approved users will get an email message that will still verify their email accounts and from that point on it works as the former net.nehmer.account.

Note!

Sorry folks, but it's MidCOM 2.8 only! We are pushing to get it (MidCOM 2.8 stable, that is) released soon, but backporting to MidCOM 2.6 (shouldn't be that difficult) requires Santa's little helpers.
