Hi,

We've restricted user account creation to ES backend [Joomla backend -> Components -> ES -> Users]. After selecting a profile type for user, filling account information and checking the box "Also approve this user" a user account is created. Subsequently, we notice in Users screen that the "Activated" col is checked but "Enabled" col is not. So we manually enable the account.

However after doing all this, sometimes an email with login credentials is being sent to the user and sometimes no email is being sent. It is critical for us to have the email sent always. What can we do to ensure consistency?

Note: We tried to uncheck the "Also approve this user" box and created account. Subsequently approve the account and a box pops up "Send confirmation email to user". Clicked yes but still no email. Need help to figure out what's wrong. Site credentials enclosed. We notice that when a user posts some information in group, notification emails are being generated and sent. So perhaps it's not email host issue.

Any recommendations on email host to use for sending such transaction emails. Perhaps we'll switch to Gmail.

Cheers!
Hey Juz,

Is there any way to reproduce this issue on the site? I just tested this locally for a few user accounts but they all seem to be sending the emails correctly. Are they all from the same profile type?

Hi Mark,

Have provided login credentials. To reproduce the error pls. login to joomla backend of the site and try creating a user from ES menu. An email should be sent with registration details. But is not.

Cheers!

Hey Juz,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've tested create 2 new users from your backend, I get correctly the email notification when the admin approval my both user account.

But if you tick this `Also approve this user` checkbox, it will not notify any email notification for the new user.

And I noticed what was a bug as you mentioned at above, by right when you tick this option, it should directly approved the new created user account.

We will fix this issue in next release version.
