This won't turn on the approval process... it'll just send the email to the admin anyway. In adduser.php find this.... and remove (or comment out) the lines in Red. code: // --------------------------------------------------------------------- // Now if we are manually approving user registration we need to send an // email to all admins [:"red"] if ($config['userreg']) {[/] $query = " SELECT U_Email FROM {$config['tbprefix']}Users WHERE U_Status = 'Administrator' "; $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query); while(list($adminemail) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) { if (!$adminemail) { continue; } $newuser = rawurlencode($Username); $to = $adminemail; $header = $mailer -> headers(); $subject = "{$ubbt_lang['NEWREG']} {$config['title']}"; $msg = "{$ubbt_lang['NEWREGBODY']} {$config['phpurl']}/admin.... mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header); } [:"red"] }[/] Edit: Careful not to miss removing that last } if you remove the if. the color is tough to see on the } by itself. I also shorteded the one line with the URL so that Dave_L doesn't have to scroll. Hope that works for ya. Last edited by JoshPet; 11/11/2002 12:50 AM.

Then I could verify that the Username is not against our guidelines. I went to Show/Edit User and found that I could see Users that registered in ... 1 day, so that may work as well. Somewhat more manual, but there. Thanks for the help.

Ah...

I've never used approval. Does it just tell you there's stuff to approve?

OK - we can go further.
Again... I didn't test.... so let me know:

code:

In adduser.php

#
# Find this:
#

// -------------------------------------
// Now we need to mail them the password
   if ( ($Username) && ($Email) ) {
      $to      = $Email;
      $header  = $mailer -> headers();
      $subject = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_SUB']} {$config['title']}";
      $msg     = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY1']} '$ip' ....edited for length
      if ($config['userreg']) {
         $msg .= $ubbt_lang['NEEDAPPROVAL'];
      } 
      mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);

  }



#
# BELOW it, add this:
#

// -------------------------------------
// Let's send the info to the admin - JoshPet
   if ( ($Username) && ($Email) ) {

	  // Set this to the email you want the alert to go to
			$adminalertemail = "[email protected]";

      $alertheader  = $mailer -> headers();
      $alertsubject = "A New User Has Registered: $Username";
      $alertmsg     .= "You have a new user at your board.\n\n";
      $alertmsg     .= "Username: $Username \n";
      $alertmsg     .= "Email: $Email \n";
      mail("$adminalertemail","$alertsubject","$alertmsg",$alertheader);

   }

Hope that helps!

PS = You have to insert the email address that you want the notices sent to. Wasn't sure if you wanted to use the email in the config file or not.... or a different one.

The following is JoshPet's code as modified, and is the only the code that needs to be changes (the earlier part of this thread is not required). # # Find this: # // ------------------------------------- // Now we need to mail them the password if ( ($Loginname) && ($Email) ) { $to = $Email; $header = $mailer -> headers(); $subject = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_SUB']} {$config['title']}"; $msg = "{$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY1']} '$ip' {$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY2']} "$Loginname". {$ubbt_lang['PASS_BODY3']} "$pass". "; if ($config['verify']) { $msg .= $ubbt_lang['DOVERIFY'] ." {$config['phpurl']}/verifyemail.php?verify=$Uid-$key&Cat=$Cat"; } elseif ($config['userreg']) { $msg .= $ubbt_lang['NEEDAPPROVAL']; } mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header); } # #BELOW it, add this: # // ------------------------------------- // Let's send the info to the admin - JoshPet if ( ($Loginname) && ($Email) ) { // Set this to the email you want the alert to go to $adminalertemail = "[email protected]"; $alertheader = $mailer -> headers(); $alertsubject = "A New User Has Registered: Username"; $alertmsg .= "You have a new user at your board.\n\n"; $alertmsg .= "Loginname: $Loginname \n"; $alertmsg .= "Displayname: $Displayname \n"; $alertmsg .= "Email: $Email \n"; mail("$adminalertemail","$alertsubject","$alertmsg",$alertheader); }

Ok. I added the code below

Code

// -------------------------------------  added 3/25/03 by eallen<br />// Let's send the info to the admin - JoshPet<br />if ( ($Loginname) && ($Email) ) {<br />// Set this to the email you want the alert to go to<br />$adminalertemail = "[email protected]";<br />$alertheader = $mailer -> headers();<br />$alertsubject = "A New User Has Registered: $Username";<br />$alertmsg .= "You have a new user at your board.\n\n";<br />$alertmsg .= "Loginname: $Loginname \n";<br />$alertmsg .= "Displayname: $Displayname \n";       <br />$alertmsg .= "Email: $Email \n";<br />mail("$adminalertemail","$alertsubject","$alertmsg",$alertheader);<br />}

So - I get the email but there is no user name in the subject. Initially the code in the previous post has "Username" and all that sent was the actual word "Username" in the subject. So I added the "$" like all the ther variables and that just gets me a blank.

What am I doing wrong?

I have registration turned on and have been trying to figure out how to send the username as part of the email notification to the administrators that someone has registered. It'll prolly be something very simple, it's just eluding me right now. I used the sample above but took it out since I don't need another email notification that some one registered. Any ideas anyone?

Find this in your adduser.php:

Code

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br />// Now if we are manually approving user registration we need to send an<br />// email to all admins<br />   if (($config['userreg']) && (!$config['verify'])) {<br />      $query = "<br />         SELECT U_Email<br />         FROM   {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br />         WHERE  U_Status = 'Administrator'<br />      ";<br />      $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />      while(list($adminemail) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />         if (!$adminemail) {<br />            continue;<br />         }<br />         $newuser = rawurlencode($Loginname);<br />         $to      = $adminemail;<br />         $header = $mailer -> headers();<br />         $subject = "{$ubbt_lang['NEWREG']} {$config['title']}";<br />         $msg     = "{$ubbt_lang['NEWREGBODY']} {$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?file=approveuser.php";<br />         mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);<br />      }<br />   }

Replace it with this:

Code

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------<br />// Now if we are manually approving user registration we need to send an<br />// email to all admins<br />   if (($config['userreg']) && (!$config['verify'])) {<br />      $query = "<br />         SELECT U_Email<br />         FROM   {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br />         WHERE  U_Status = 'Administrator'<br />      ";<br />      $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />      while(list($adminemail) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />         if (!$adminemail) {<br />            continue;<br />         }<br />         $newuser = rawurlencode($Loginname);<br />         $to      = $adminemail;<br />         $header = $mailer -> headers();<br />         $subject = "{$ubbt_lang['NEWREG']} {$config['title']}";<br />         $msg     = "A New User Has Registered: $Loginame \n{$ubbt_lang['NEWREGBODY']} {$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?file=approveuser.php";<br />         mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);<br />      }<br />   }   <br />

You can change the text in the line saying:
$msg = "A New User Has Registered: $Loginame \n{$ubbt_lang['NEWREGBODY']} {$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?file=approveuser.php";

You can use $Loginname and $Displayname to fill in the values of the new users.

ok. I added the following to adduser.php.

Code

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------       <br />// Now if we are manually approving user registration we need to send an<br />// email to all admins   <br />if (($config['userreg']) && (!$config['verify'])) {<br />        $query = "<br />                SELECT U_Email<br />                FROM   {$config['tbprefix']}Users<br />                WHERE  U_Status = 'Administrator'<br />        ";<br />        $sth = $dbh -> do_query($query);<br />        while(list($adminemail) = $dbh -> fetch_array($sth)) {<br />                if (!$adminemail) {<br />                    continue;<br />                }<br />                $newuser = rawurlencode($Loginname);<br />                $to      = $adminemail;  <br />                $header = $mailer -> headers();<br />                $subject = "{$ubbt_lang['NEWREG']} {$config['title']}";            <br />                $msg     = "A New User Has Registered: $Loginame \n{$ubbt_lang['NEWREGBODY']} {$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?fi<br />le=approveuser.php";<br />                    mail("$to","$subject","$msg",$header);<br />        }<br />   }

I then registered a test account and got the same old email output.
