cpg1.5.18
Linux
older php and mysql versions

I have both user verification and admin approval enabled.
I have created several test users. (problem exists with real users too)
I have clicked on the confirmation link for each user.

What works:

Clicking on activation links individually
Activating one user at a time through User Manager

What doesn't work:
When I go into the user manager and select several users to activate, the following happens:

The first user is activated and receives activation notification email
The second user is activated.  No email is sent.  (I have been tailing the maillog file to confirm, and the messages would have come to me).  Any user past the second user is not displayed on the screen
The screen (when activating 4 users) appears like this:

=====================================================================================================
Username    Status
testme34   Activated
testme12   Activated
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cpg_mail() (previously declared in /home/website/pictures/include/mailer.inc.php:20) in /home/website/pictures/include/mailer.inc.php on line 20
====================================================================================================

I did dos2unix mailer.inc.php since it has ^M everywhere and I am running on Linux.  I corrected the permissions afterwards to match the other files.

In relation, is there a way to resend activation emails when the system thinks an email has already been sent?

Thanks,
Barry

We have 3 issues here:
1. Missing mails for second activated user and following
2. Error message for third user and following
3. Re-send missing mails


To fix 2) please open delete.php, find
require('include/mailer.inc.php');
and replace with
require_once('include/mailer.inc.php');

Maybe issue 1) is also resolved with that change. Please report the results.

Barry, did Andre's fix work for all 3 problems for you?

Also, is there a way to resend the activation emails, if someone wanted to? I have seen this option in other places.

There's no such option, but it should be possible to create a plugin/mod for that task.
