Activation by admin

[yilmazerhakan]

Hi,

I want to activate users from admin panel only. When a user registered he will wait for admin.

What trick do you advise.

My advice would be to disable the default routes and provide your own version of those routes. (See the readme for details.) Then you can disable the activation route and remove the activation link from the welcome email.

To allow admins to activate users, you can do something like this:

try
{
    // Find the user using the user id
    $user = Sentry::findUserById(1);
    $code = $user->getActivationCode();

    // Attempt to activate the user
    if ($user->attemptActivation($code))
    {
        // User activation passed
    }
    else
    {
        // User activation failed
    }
}
catch (Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\UserNotFoundException $e)
{
    echo 'User was not found.';
}
catch (Cartalyst\Sentry\Users\UserAlreadyActivatedException $e)
{
    echo 'User is already activated.';
}
