Email verification

dbrody 15 Sep, 2011
We have a form that requires email verification. Often times the person doesn't get the email (for whatever reason - spam filters, deletes, isn't paying attention, etc). The email does get sent. I would like to resend the same verification after two weeks of no verification. It would also be nice if this could be automated. Any pointers or info how this could be done?

Hi dbrody,

Hmm . . . there's no dead simple way of doing this as Joomla! has no sense of time. What you could do is to set up a cron job on your server that will run every day or so. It should need to check for any 'unverified' accounts more than two weeks old and send them a reminder email.

Alternatively, if your form is used fairly frequently you can add OnSubmit code to do something similar.
