How can I tell Tank Auth to not activate users at all?

Question

For the CodeIgniter project I'm creating, it is necessary that users get activated manually by an admin after registering.

Currently I'm using Tank Auth (http://www.konyukhov.com/soft/tank_auth/) for user authentication, and it seems to be missing this particular setting. Is there any chance I just didn't find the setting? If not, how (and where) would I start coding that feature myself?

If you're interested in a quick hack, I think this would work.

Look in application/config/tank_auth.php and be sure that $config['email_activation'] is set to TRUE.

Then in the application/controllers/auth.php sign_up method look for this line: $this->_send_email('activate', $data['email'], $data);

Change $data['email'] to the admin's email address. So you end up with something like this: $this->_send_email('activate', '[email protected]', $data);

Then when users sign up, an email will come to the admin with the activation link to activate the user.
