Opt-In Mail-Validation for new Users?

[rafvo]

Hi all,

Is there a possibility to use a double opt-in mod for new customers? After registration the user must click on a link in the welcome-mail to be able to buy in the shop?

I'm using 1.3.5.

Possible? Yes
Has someone written such a feature and shared it with everyone? Not that I've seen.

@DrByte:

I've been thinking a little around about that.

Following should work:

- on create-account page erease the password fields > now the user can't create passwords himself

- in includes/modules/create_account.php set a random password...

- ... and send it to the welcome-mail.

- on create-account-success-page log the user off first via 'zen_session_destroy();' to prevent buying before validation.

Now new users must login first. The random password can be changed in users account section.

Comments?
