Create account only after admin validation

[superprg]

Is there a setting in prestashop that after user creates an account, admin should validate first and after validation only the user is able to login

If user can not log in, user will not able to place an order (at least for prestashop the older than 1.4)


Anyway, I don't think there is setting for this. If you really want to do this, you will need a little code changes.

for 1.3x or older, change /authentication.php
for 1.4x, you will need to change /contollers/AuthController.php

change 1:
after user sign up, there are lines as following, you need to change $customer->active = 0

               $customer->active = 1;
               if (!$customer->add())

change 2:
after sign up, there are a few lines of code the log user in automatically.
You need comment out those lines and redirect to home page.

                       $smarty->assign('confirmation', 1);
                       $cookie->id_customer = intval($customer->id);
                       $cookie->customer_lastname = $customer->lastname;
                       $cookie->customer_firstname = $customer->firstname;
                       $cookie->passwd = $customer->passwd;
                       $cookie->logged = 1;
                       $cookie->email = $customer->email;

Just have two question...

do I change the
$customer->active = 1;
to
$customer->active = 0; ?

as in the original file (authentication.php) it is: $customer->active = 1;

could you show me how to comment out the lines in step 2 and how to redirect to home page.

Thanks
