The Account Registration field-set is used to control how user's can obtain accounts on a Yioop installation. The dropdown at the start of this fieldset allows you to select one of four
possibilities:
- Disable Registration , users cannot register themselves, only the root
account can add users. When Disable Registration is selected, the Suggest A Url form and link on
the tool.php page is disabled as well, for all other registration type this
link is enabled.
- No Activation , user accounts are immediately activated once a user
signs up.
- Email Activation , after registering, users must click on a link which
comes in a separate email to activate their accounts. If Email Activation is chosen, then the rest of this field-set can be used to specify the email address that the email comes to the user. The checkbox Use
PHP mail() function controls whether to use the mail function in PHP to send the mail, this only works if mail can be sent from the local machine. Alternatively, if this is not checked like in the image above, one can
configure an outgoing SMTP server to send the email through.
- Admin Activation , after registering, an admin account (an account having the admin role) must activate
the user before the user is allowed to use their account.
