NOTES

glrevive is a modification of the geeklog batch user import functionality with
the following exceptions:

1) It requires the uid of the user account to create in addition to the
   standard full name, username, and email address.
2) The user will not be added to any groups.
3) Any email address can be specified, including the same email address for
   multiple revived accounts.
4) A password of '*' will be entered for the user, and no password will be
   emailed to the user upon account creation.  This disables the account from
   being used, prevents the creation of another account with the same
   username, and prevents attempts to reset the user password from being
   emailed to the original email address.
5) An existing UID or username will not be duplicated or changed.  If a uid
   or username is found to already exist, an error message will indicate the
   error, and processing will continue.

INSTALLATION

If you are starting with a freshly untarred geeklog, the simplest method
is to simply patch the source code with the provided patch and then proceed
as normal with the geeklog installation.  For example if you have just 
untarred geeklog 1.3.9, perform the following commands:

cd geeklog-1.3.9
patch -p1 </path/to/glrevive/patches/patch-geeklog-1.3.9

If you are working with a site that has already been installed and configured,
manually copy language/english.php, public/admin/user.php, and 
layout/*/admin/user/userslist.thml from to the correct locations.  A patched
version of each file is provided for each release of geeklog that was
available for download at the time of these instructions.

If you are using a custom layout (theme), make sure the following link
is available to administrators who need to run glrevive:

<a href="{site_admin_url}/user.php?mode=reviveform">Revive User(s)</a>
