Multilingual registration approval PluginLanguage

This plugin forces user's registration to be approved first by an administrator. The user email is first verified, then the administrator will approve the registration.

The template must include a position for the Message (jdoc:include type= "message").

When using JoomFish, the global configuration for each language should be parametered.

As of 2009-06-19, 28 languages are included:

English, French, Danish, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Slovak, Albanian, Swedish, Thaï, Polish, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, Catalan, Turkish, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Gujarati, Japanese, Spanish, Romanian, Montenegrin, Belarussian, Russian.
Will add languages when they come. Please send new language file if you make one.

As of 2009-06-23 , 3 languages more.
Lao, Estonian, Farsi
As of 2009-07-18, 1 language more
Tamil(Sri-Lanka)

TIP:
The first messages and mails are the default ones in your language/xx-XX/xx-XX.com_user.ini file, as if the plugin was not published.

You may want to change slightly the message for the user to reflect the new way of registration.
the token is
REG_COMPLETE_ACTIVATE=[...]. //add here in your language: An admin will then verify your mail and approve your registration.
and also change the content of the mail sent to the user in the same file
SEND_MSG_ACTIVATE= //change there
After activation you may login...etc.
by
After approval by an administrator, you will be able to login...etc.

Then, the mails and messages depends on the plugin ini file.

When the user clicks on the activation link, a new message is displayed telling the user that an admin has to approve his registration.
At the same time an e-mail is sent to the admin letting the choice to activate the user or not.
If the admin activates the user, a new mail is sent to the user letting the user know that login is now possible.

I just wanted a simple solution to handle approval of registration requests... this was the answer. I'm a newbie to Joomla and had no problem at all installing and changing user messages as needed. Thanks!!

This fills a big gap in the standard Joomla registration facilities. It is very simple to implement and works as advertised.
Many Thanks!

This extension should become part of the next Joomla release. It's extremely simple to use, developer support is fast and friendly - the kind of extension everyone wants to use. I use it as a simple way to keep spammers and non-authorized users off our nonprofit org. site. We have several hundred users, and checking our membership lists against attempted registrations is very easy now.

Great work! Thank you!

We're all waiting for it, hope it will be added to next releases,
just add "administrator must approve your login" in the mail sent to users and it will be perfect !

Works like a charme.

Very useful, thank you!
Just install and activate and it works well, just need to change some wordings in com_user.ini
I saw many people ask for this. The approval procedure was great, just that I'm using Trad-Chinese and don't know where the content in the email was hiding, wan't to change some wording
Owner's reply

Easy to do, edit the file zh-TW.plg_system_registrationapproval.ini
which is in your administrator/language/zh-TW/ folder
Use an utf8-aware text editor as Babelpad for Windows or Textwrangler for Macintosh to save the file utf8 encoded.

Thanks jean.

This was very necessary and important.
