Add the ability to delete stale pending registrations

[paustian]

This should also be something the Core does automatically if the time to register expires.

Q	A
Zikula Version	2.0.15
PHP Version	all

Summary

Deleting all users should be a simple sql call to the database and implemented in UserRegistry. Since they are pending users, they should have no attachment to any other modules so removing them should not cause any consequences.

Desired Behavior

Have a button in the interface for users would be the simplest implementation. Pressing it gets rid of the users.

Possible Solution

After pressing it, an Are you Sure dialog would be nice. If yes, all stale pending users are deleted.

Context

My sites accumulate a ton of pending users. It woudl be nice to get rid of them.

I think this feature should come with additional options like search and pagination.

1. there might be huge amount of "pendings" and simple delete all will end up with 500...
2. search because sometimes you do want to filter by domain or date etc..
3. some modules can work on pending registrations so delete event will probably be fired anyway...

btw @paustian I guess your pendings are spam you can try to reduce them via banned email domains feature in settings module...

via banned email domains feature in settings module...

-> Users module

[Kaik]

yes sorry

[Kaik]

since pending is "just" a status and 3party modules are handled by events anyway it may also be just an upgrade - improvements in users list #3953

Main problem is that there is no proper way to target a specific group of users(including or not pendings) and then perform delete action on them.

I'll take this one (eventually but for 3.0)

[Kaik]

take a look on #3953 too and please consider databases like 40k+ users

@paustian. When we initially talked about this, I thought you were talking about automatic removal based on an expiry date. Your ticket indicates a more manual approach. which do you prefer?

[craigh]

ping @paustian

Craig, automatic woudl be best, but I would be happy with either. Sorry for the slow response, I am frantically getting my classes on for next week.
