Hey Dimmy,

Just wondering if you could talk me through adding the custom fields?

That function didn’t change from the previous beta. I just highlighted the new features compared to the repository version.

You can edit the template of the Websignup Email in the Manager (Tools -> Configuration -> User).

- If ’Send notifications’ checkbox is checked the module will send out WebSignup Email.

great work, but what do you mean with websignup email? What is the difference with the previous version ’send notifications’?

I added Dimmy’s code snippet to this module. Check it!

Features:
- Now if password field is empty the module will (hopefully) generate one.
- If ’Send notifications’ checkbox is checked the module will send out WebSignup Email.
- If a user already exists the module will skip it and echo an error message.
- Optional password encripting (don’t store passwords unencripted!)

to bump this up.

What when i want modx to generate the passwords?

you could add a small password generator in it or use the one modx uses, but then how will the users know what the password is?
you should maybe print them to the screen?
once in the db its md5 and not reversible.

next pice wil generate a password like modx uses:

// Generate password
function generate_password($length = 10) {
	$allowable_characters = "abcdefghjkmnpqrstuvxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789";
	$ps_len = strlen($allowable_characters);
	mt_srand((double) microtime() * 1000000);
	$pass = "";
	for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
		$pass .= $allowable_characters[mt_rand(0, $ps_len -1)];
	}
	return $pass;
}
$password = generate_password();

that could be used in the while loop and maybe echo the usename and password to the screen in the same loop.

hope that helps

First bugfix (not my )

Re: Support/Comments for WebusersImport

I modified this snippet further (based on Dimmy’s version).

- Added checkbox to send notification emails to the imported users (uses the default email template);
- Checks if a user already exists to avoid error message with broken import sessions;
- Puts temporary file to assets/cache because that’s always writable.
And from Dimmy’s:
– Group ID can be used in the text file but it also works without it.

Please test it!

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Most likely I’ll encourage them to use the Forgot your password link but change the wording to something like "generate a new password" since I have their email addresses and the users are pretty savvy about websites.

Thanks for your reply, again, and thanks for a great little app.
