How to send activation email for registered user again manually?

Dear Community,

is it possible to send the activation email for a registered - not confirmed user - again?
How could I trigger it?

Thank you in advance?

Bye
Chris

I don’t think this is possible with the Login extra.

If you really need the functionality, you could try recreating the code from the register processor.
Take a look a the functions sendActivationEmail(), gatherActivationEmailProperties() and setCachePassword().

github.com

modxcms/Login/blob/007d1b9fe7ae624423c2749dc852e4526ffe7202/core/components/login/processors/register.php#L263


      
              if (empty($this->persistParams) || !is_array($this->persistParams)) $this->persistParams = array();
              return $this->persistParams;
          }
          
          /**
           * Send an activation email to the user with an encrypted username and password hash, to allow for secure
           * activation processes that are not vulnerable to middle-man attacks.
           *
           * @return boolean
           */
          public function sendActivationEmail() {
              $emailProperties = $this->gatherActivationEmailProperties();
          
              /* send either to user's email or a specified activation email */
              $activationEmail = $this->controller->getProperty('activationEmail',$this->profile->get('email'));
              $subject = $this->controller->getProperty('activationEmailSubject',$this->modx->lexicon('register.activation_email_subject'));
              return $this->login->sendEmail($activationEmail,$this->user->get('username'),$subject,$emailProperties);
          }
          
          /**
           * Get all the properties for the activation email

But it’s probably easier to just register the user again or manually activate the user.

I could be wrong, but I think the ActivationEmail extra will send the email if you uncheck “Active” in the User Profile, save the user, then check it and save again.
