Invite Users - Not working for main admin user #57

Open slibby opened 9 years ago

When inviting users as the unmeerim user, the invite process goes smoothly, but when the new user attempts to create an account they receive a message saying "Registrations are not open at this time"

STR:

Login as admin
Invite user from username dropdown at top-right
Select "1", an email address and username.
receive invite email, logout from GeoNode, and click invite link such as http://ebolageonode.org/account/signup/?code=a205b802-f156-4feb-a712-c2f19788de4a
receive error.

The root cause of this is that REGISTRATION_OPEN was false and the invite function requires that its open. It should obviously not offer this invite option if it doesnt work.

I've temporarily opened registration and the invite feature now works.

From here we can do one of 3 thing

Leave registration open as is
turn the registration back off and hide the invite option
Send a patch against our fork of django-user-accounts to let the invite function work when registration is closed

Can we leave registration open, but hide it from the UI?

jj0hns0n commented 9 years ago

Thats also a possibility. You would just have to know the URL to register.

Ill just do that now and we can discuss a better longer term strategy.

I think a forking/refractoring of the invite user process and of https://github.com/pinax/django-user-accounts package at the code sprint is a good idea. There's probably other minor UI/model changes that could help out with this process.
