Description Savitra Sirohi 2011-09-05 05:12:02 UTC
A CLI script to generate and send welcome message (with userid and password) in bulk. Where conditions (e.g. only those users that are under a certain category) can be sepecified when executing the script.

This script will be useful during bulk upload of members.

Is this bug still valid?

I think it is.  AutoEmailOpacUser will only work if you create a new patron from scratch and finish the registering process in one session. If you use patron data import no emails are sent out when the account is created.

Bug 9097 is similar but different.

I wonder how sending the password can work here... I guess it would require resetting it to a freshly generated one.
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2019-05-04 11:27:08 UTC
I think if we are going to realize this, we should also ask for email confirmation and possibly enforce password change on first login.

Note: with the option to reset your passwords, this might no longer be a necessary feature?

Bug 30237 replaced the ACCT_DETAILS notice with a new WELCOME email.
It'd still be nice to be able to generate these via a cron.
