More information to new users #83

I have been doing some troubleshooting lately with the Community plugin on this site: https://www.lotroshots.net/

I can not emphasize strongly enough how important the Community plugin is for me and my fellow users on that and a couple of other sites. Without it I would have to move away from Piwigo.

Having said that I would like more information to be triggered for a new user. As it is, and I do not think it is a theme issue, new users get zero information about how to access their album, upload photos and additional voluntary information about the site. So I think the easiest way to implement this would be that an e-mail is triggered and sent out to new user and that the checkbox selection for that

is removed.

Considering that the way to access album and upload photos is a bit obscure and hard to find more should be done to improve ease and usability of that.

I guess one might use custom links, but it would be best if handled from within the plugin itself.

To further improve on the usability on this function, the e-mail content should be editable within the Community plugin, so the webmaster can make sure relevant information, and screenshots, are sent out to the new users.
