I have posted a draft of the email-address verification message
http://groupserver.org/groups/development/verify_email
[You must be logged in to view the message.] I have tried to make the message
clear and concise, without being too sterile, but suggestions are welcome ☺
A large, but subtle, change in the new registration system is that users are no
longer verified, but all email addresses are verified. The first step towards
this was taken a while ago, when Richard added the "verified" column to the
email-address table. Now it is time for the next step. I will create a Verify
Address form, and alter the existing email-handler for the verification
message.
By the way, I am finally getting around to fixing
https://svn.iopen.net/projects/groupserver/ticket/234
The verification message above is the *actual* message, using the same template
as the email-notification system. (You need to be logged in because GroupServer
is using *your* email address for the preview!)
I changed the verify email message to read as follows.
Hi There!
We received a request add the email address
mpj17 @ onlinegroups.net
to GroupServer.Org. To verify that
you control this email address, please click the following link.
http://groupserver.org/r/verify/398mCU71v6dIFz9CVFEjYd
We cannot use the user's name, as we do not necessary know the user's name; I
used “Hi There!”, even though it makes GroupServer sound like a door from
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy ☺
