Component body

This module allows users to be registered without the necessity to inform an e-mail. Therefore, the e-mail field is non-mandatory.

This module must be used in very specific cases. Consequently, it might possibly cause problems with some Drupal features, such as the user's personal contact form and the e-mail checking of new user accounts (this feature is disabled by this module, by the way).

This module is sponsored by Lexa Sistemas.

1. INSTALLATION

1.1 Enable the module at /admin/build/modules
1.2 Go to /admin/user/settings, activate and configure the feature

2. OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED MODULES

We recommend the No Request New Password module be used. It disables the "request new password" link in the user login block and page. Download it at: http://drupal.org/project/noreqnewpass

New minor features added in Drupal 7 version:

  • If the contact module is active, you can disable the form of personal contact for all users;
  • Disable the checkbox that enables the form of personal contact (again, if the contact module is active).
  • A small change of usability, the module informs the motive of the checkboxes Form Contact and Account Verification email are disabled.
