Hello,
Thank you for this awesome module! It is great to be able to have users register/log-in with their email addresses.
I was wondering if it is possible to create an email confirmation box, so essentially the new user will have to type their email in twice when registering, and their password twice.
I tried using LogintoBoggan but the setup of that module automatically logs in the user when the new user chooses their own password in the registration process. I would like new user to register with email & password, go to their personal email to press registration confirm link, then be logged into the website.
I would really appreciate any help on this - thanks!

gregglesMy perspective is that this is not something we should include in the email_registration module. It is best handled by other modules that exist specifically for this purpose.

Christopher Herberte CreditAttribution: Christopher Herberte commentedAgreed, this should be the functionality of a separate project. This functionality may be useful where username is entered. Takers?
Comment #3
gregglesIf Chris agrees, I think we should call this by design.

Instead of username, enter in the email twice.

gregglesRegarding the state of the issue, maybe we should reconsider (I think we should).
Beyond that, it's not worth much unless you want to write the patch or sponsor someone else to.

The LoginToboggan module has an option for adding a second e-mail field during the registration process:

Check it out!

gregglesIt does, but these two modules don't always work well together and, even if they did, logintoboggan has a lot of other features that people may not want.

Bilmar CreditAttribution: Bilmar commentedI agree with greggles.
I feel the Email Registration module is nice and simple without the additional features which is great, but if it is meant to focus on users registering with only an email address than I think it would be great to have a checkbox in the settings to require a confirmation of the email address.
I would prefer to keep modules to a minimum and hope Email Registration module will allow full control over the registration process so that logintoboggan will not be needed only for the email confirmation box.
Thanks!

Comment #11
Lbob CreditAttribution: Lbob commentedis there a solution for what appears to be a basic functionality => check if 2 email fields are similar?

pcambraHere's a patch for D7

andypostChris asked me to not commit this and #1291908: Keep the email login entered by the user so it can be validated
So let's discus it for 7.x-1.1

gregglesMarked #1029816: Confirm e-mail address as a duplicate.
I apparently go back and forth on whether I think this is a good idea or not :)
Comment #16
gregglesThis patch changes a lot of style issues in addition to the new feature. The style issues have been fixed elsewhere, so it no longer applies.
I still wonder whether this problem should be fixed in this module at all. There's a lightweight solution to the problem in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8728680/drupal-7-confirm-email-address
I would imagine a module that specifically just adds this one feature would be a good idea.

IWasBornToWin CreditAttribution: IWasBornToWin commentedjust downloaded 7 dev. I do not see settings for this module that will allow email confirmation.
I'm very surprised Drupal believes people are perfect and does not, at core, DEMAND email confirmation. They apparently do realize this for passwords?
So, of course, I'm even more surprised this module does not confirm emails. It's half of the use of your module. Who wants a heavy login toboggon for something so simple, and expected?
Comment #18
IWasBornToWin CreditAttribution: IWasBornToWin commentedI see this solution. Do I have to create my own module or how do I apply this code/solution?
Thanks
Comment #19
gregglesI don't think this feature makes sense inside this module.

alamp CreditAttribution: alamp commented#18 works fine for me.
@IWasBornToWin, thanks for the patch
@greggles, thanks for the module.
