Notification of New Registration

Permalink
Hello,

Just started using c5 and I'm loving it. I do have a question, though.

I have my site setup so that people can register to access the site, but they need to be manually activated. Is there any way to get an e-mail notifying me of the need to activate a newly registered user? This would be very helpful and definitely preferable to having to wait until I login to the dashboard to check for new users all the time.

Thanks!

I don't believe this is possible at this point in time. The only option that I know will show you registered users is to require approval.

beyond that the other option would be to copy the core registration controller (concrete/controllers/register.php) to /controllers and add a few lines to send you a notification.

It can be done by adding two files and adding a line in your config file.

I'm clueless with PHP. I can copy the code provided, but cannot create the mail template from scratch. Anyone already have something?

Here's the one I used if you want to try that.

Just add it to your /mail folder (not the one in the /concrete directory). Just make sure you remove the .txt before you upload.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you! This does raise another question, though.

Were the other files and code mods supposed to be done in the concrete directory, or in the main directory of the subdomain the site is hosted in?

All of these modifications should be done outside of the /concrete core folder.

If you put them inside the concrete folder - I would just move them out and delete the ones you placed in the concrete folder.

The config.php file is already outside of the /concrete folder so (assuming you put the file I left in the /mail folder outside /concrete) you should only have to move the application_user.php file out to the /models folder.

I hope THAT sentence wasn't too confusing!
