Multiple users

Is there any way to get around Textpattern needing to email new user information? I’ve tried adding new users on multiple hosts and setups nothing gets sent. This is a serious inconvenience right now. What I’m asking if there’s any way to add a user and set their password for them.

Re: Multiple users

Create the user. Then go to phpmyadmin an type the following sentence:

update txp_users set pass=password('pw123') where name='user'

where ‘user’ is the user login and ‘pw123’ is the desired password,

Set their email address to yours?

Re: Multiple users

This looks to be a Textpattern issue because when talking to the admin of the server my site is run from, he said when Textpattern is attempting to send the email with login information, it’s not going through at all because the server is blocking null senders.

Re: Multiple users

I don’t see Textpattern sending mail with a null sender (<>) in the SMTP handshake when I test it here myself (it uses <ruud> instead as that’s my user name on the server). Can your admin provide mail logs that show this behaviour?

Blocking null senders isn’t really a good idea anyway, see rfc-ignorant

Make sure you have specified a valid email address for yourself (and other Publishers).
