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

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 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!

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

• 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

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
git pull --rebase origin master
