Is it possible to add a checkbox during the add user process to choose whether or not to email the new user their password?
Reason behind the request:
I use this extension to add users to a closed, corporate forum. Our users want to use the same login as their corporate login, so we must use LDAP. To create the user, I have to deactivate the board's LDAP, add the user with a dummy password, and then activate the LDAP again. This way, the new user can have his corporate username and password without me knowing his password. But, as soon as I create the user, he/she receives an email with the dummy password in plaintext. Often, they try to login with this dummy password (which won't work once LDAP is on). To try to get around this, I now also disable board emails before I create new users - and hope nobody posts a topic in the meantime!
Unfortunately I cannot program in PHP, so I am sure if I tried to contribute, I would break something!
