README

The Invitations app allows you to invite people by mail to your ownCloud instance.

After installing, a new app will be avaliable to both administrators and group administrators called 'Invitations'.

• It asks for a username that will be used for the users login
• It asks for a email address. This will be used to send the invitation. Also, it will setup this email inside the users 'Personal' settings so they can recover their password at any time.
• One can assign groups. This is optional for administrators. Group administrators must assign at least one of the groups that they administer.
• The invited user will receive an email containing a link where he can set his own password and login afterwards.

The source code is available on GitHub

Bugs

DRAGONS AHEAD!

THIS APP IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL. It works - for me. It may or may not work for you. Bugreports are always welcome of course.

Before reporting bugs please make sure you have done the following:

• get the newest version of the App Framework
• get the newest version of the Invitations app
• check if they have already been reported

Before you install the Invitations app

Before you install the app check that the following requirements are met:

• ownCloud Server 5.0.10 or greater is installed (might work with lower versions down to 5.0.0, untested though)
• App Framework 0.102 or greater - Lower versions will not work correctly!

Installation

App Store

As of now, this app is still experimental and therefore not on the appstore yet.

Git (development version)

• Clone the App Framework app into the /var/www directory:

  git clone https://github.com/owncloud/appframework.git
  

• Clone the Invitations app into the /var/www directory:

  git clone https://github.com/Takuto88/owncloud-app-invite.git
  

• Link both into ownCloud's apps folder:

  ln -s /var/www/appframework /var/www/owncloud/apps
  ln -s /var/www/owncloud-app-invite /var/www/owncloud/apps/invite
  

• Activate the App Framework App first, then activate the Invitations app in the apps menu

Keep up to date

To get the newest update you can use git. To update the appframework use:

cd /var/www/appframework
git pull --rebase origin master

To update the Invitations app use:

cd /var/www/owncloud-app-invite
