Hello sirs, ma'ms,
I recently installed coppermine at http://photos.febc.ph . Very fresh install. I developed initial categories and albums already. I have also created another user account "normaluser" and tried registering. After hitting the submit button, the system told me that it has sent email to confirm my login details and probably some other introductory msgs. It's been quite sometime already and that email has not come. :(
I logged in as admin and found out that "normaluser" was tagged as inactive. Probably until i activate it using info that should be found in the email i'm missing.
Question: how long is the wait for the email to come? is there a setting so that i can tweak it to send mail right away? where is the email setups found?
newbie me,
Jim
Usually the email goes out in no time at all, but you have to set up sending of emails properly, especially if you're on a windows server that doesn't come with sendmail. Read http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#smtp
You can skip the step of confirmation emails being sent before an account get's activated, go to coppermine config and set "User registration requires email verification" to "No". You can as well manually activate the user account you created - log in as admin, go to "users" from the admin menu, click on the edit button next to the user and set the dropdown box "User is active" to "Yes". Remember to save your changes.

Is it possible automatically send email to user when administrator changing user status from non active to active?
