Invite users to Silverstripe CMS

This module makes it posible to invite users that you would like to register on your site. Users can be invited from either a:

• frontend form

• or via an admin interface in the CMS.

Features

• Quick-entry invitation form (By default only first name and email fields are required to invite someone)
• Sends email invitations to recipient
• Supports optional user group assignment (See below for how to enforce this group selection)
• Invitation expiry can be set via configuration.
• Default SilverStripe member validation is applied.
• Create and send invites from CMS admin interface

Force required user group assignment

Place the following in your mysite/_config/config.yml

Dynamic\SilverStripe\UserInvitations\Model\UserInvitation:
    force_require_group: true

Template override

To update the base template use updateMainTemplates. It defaults to Page.

/**
 * @param array $mainTemplates
 */
public function updateMainTemplates(&$mainTemplates)
{
    array_unshift($mainTemplates, 'InvitationPage');
}

Redirect after successful user creation

You can set a custom 'BackURL', that the user will be redirected to, after having completed signup from invitation.

Dynamic\SilverStripe\UserInvitations\Control\UserController:
    back_url: '/admin/'

Please remember to set an admin_email (used as sender)

This is done in your app/_config/email.yml file

SilverStripe\Control\Email\Email:
    admin_email: #Default email this site sends emails from
        mail@example.com: 'Admin at example.com'

For easy email testing, use: https://mailcatcher.me/
