(Provide a clear and concise description of what the problem is.
For example: "I'm always frustrated when ...")
Sometimes, due to some email transport reasons, we need to send again a registration email. But just calling send_verification_notification() function with the same parameters didn't work in this case.

Describe the solution you'd like

(Provide a clear and concise description of what you want to happen)
I want to have an ability to resend registration email manually using a function or admin panel action

P.S. I would like to get some help with an idea of how to implement this so I can do it myself and probably provide a PR. Thank you

Hi @14MR, would moving the code for sending the" register user" notification to a separate function send_register_verification_notification help, like in this PR:

https://github.com/apragacz/django-rest-registration/pull/101/files

You would only need to provide request and user when calling this function.

It looks like I have to have my user's request to sign it, right? I would like to be able to resend activation link without asking the user to resend it

You need a request because the DRR signer uses request.build_absolute_uri to build the full verification URL. To be exact, this is currently done by function derived from ‘VERIFICATION_URL_BUILDER’ setting key, which is getting the request from the signer.

It doesn't matter whether the request is a Django Request object or DRF Request proxy object, in both cases this method (.build_absolute_uri()) should be available.

So in the case you mentioned earlier (re-sending the e-mail to users from the admin), you could write simple admin action like that:

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

from rest_registration.api.views.register import send_register_verification_notification

from myapp.models import User

def send_verification(modeladmin, request, queryset):
    for user in queryset:
        send_register_verification_notification(request, user)
send_verification.short_description = "Send verification e-mail"

class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
    # ...
    actions = UserAdmin.actions + [send_verification]

admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)

The code above is untested and needs refinement, but hopefully you get the idea; see the docs about admin actions for more:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/actions/

You could consider refining the code by sending the verification only to the unverified users (not all selected) but that's up to you.

I think I will move the send_register_verification_notification to new rest_registration.utils.verification module to avoid confusion, but will confirm that when the change will be merged to master.

If you have any other questions please let me know, in other case I will merge the change in the PR above soon (in few days).

I decided to name the aforementioned function send_register_verification_email_notification and place it in rest_registration.utils.verification_notifications module.
