[OJS 3] Import xml users. Notify with email

Hello.

In OJS2 you can import users in xml and notify them with email with user and password.
I don’t see this option in OJS3. Can i notify them?

Thank you very much

Hi @juanito,

That’s not available in OJS 3.x yet, but it’s going to be included soon: Refine password element for user import (and possibly export) · Issue #3462 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

Thanks for reply @asmecher .

Then. If i replace classes/security/Validation.inc.php and plugins/importexport/users/filter/UserXmlPKPUserFilter.inc.php ( [pkp-lib] #3462 Refine password element for user import (and possibly export) by defstat · Pull Request #3494 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub ) in OJS 3 installation. When you import xml users, These would be notified. ok?

Thanks

Hi @juanito,

That’s just proposed code, not merged/accepted yet, so I’d suggest waiting until it’s been approved and merged before you consider adding it to your existing installation. At that point it’ll be better to apply a patch or cherry-pick using git, rather than replacing an entire file, as the rest of the file might not be compatible with your version of OJS.
