Is anyone out there currently working on OR willing to work on a CB plugin that will allow administrative approval or rejection of new users via email. For example something that adds a "click to approve" and "click to reject" links in the moderator/admin email that is sent out to notify moderators/admin of a newly registered user pending approval?
OR if someone knows of the existence of such a plugin, please post and let me know where to find it. I could find nothing on Joomla.org, Joomlapolis, or a google search.
Don't think such a plugin can be developed. CB users a form to approve users which uses generated security codes to ensure the admins session is valid. A URL will not be able to do this even if attempting to pass the security code, it must be done via POST.

My knowledge of HTMl is rusty, but instead of a link/url in a HTML-based notification email, couldn't you include a form with a POST action?
I recognized that the Joomlapolis CB team may consider it inadvisable from a security perspective to use such a plugin, but I don't understand any reason why it couldn't be done. Heck, after all, a person could modify the PHP code in CB that sends the admin notification email to hardcode in a URL to a separate PHP page that just access the CB MYSQL tables directly to approve or block a user - a php page with url parameters of ?user=<username>&action=[approve|reject]&secretkey=<secretkey>
So is it that it can't be done OR that it shouldn't be done?
