Introduction

This part of the GroupServer user-profile code concerned with sign up when an administrator invites someone to join a group. An existing user or a new user can be invited.

Existing User

When an existing user is invited he or she is taken to a page that shows the prospective member all the pending invitations.

New User

A new user is sent an email that contains two links:

1. One to accept the invitation, and
2. Another to reject the invitation.

A redirector accepts or rejects the invitation, and takes the user to the correct page.

Error Pages

Invitation Followed

This page is shown when a user, who has already accepted an invitation, follows the invitation link again.

Invitation Rejected

This page is shown when a user, who has already rejected an invitation, follows the invitation link again.

Note about Forms

All forms submit to themselves, as the view handles the data, as it does with the XForms in GroupServer 0.9. We always post, as almost all forms have a side-effect.
