I would like to be notified anytime a new user registers for our site. Is there a simple way to do this? Sort of like how we are notified on links additions and review additions.

You can use GCommunity - there is an option to notify admin on user signup.

Yes, you can do a POST hook on 'add_user'.

What is GCommunity and how do I get it? Is it free?

Hi Philip,

Thanks for the reply. Are you able to be a bit more specific, i.e., where I change code and what I insert?

Thanks.

Info - http://www.gossamer-threads.com/.../community/index.htm

Yup! It's free.

Thanks, Payoo. This seems a bit overkill, though, for my intention, which is just to send us an e-mail notification when a new User signs up. We only use Links and don't anticipate using any of the other software, so we are satisfied with the standalone program. I just need to know which script to go in and edit and which code to add. I imagine it is relatively simple?

Thanks all!

I've attached a plugin for you. It was just a quickie to get you started. Modify the template file "new_user.eml" to customize the email (this installs into the admin template directory, NOT luna), and edit post_add_user() in NewUserEmail.pm if you want to do any additional post-processing.

Wow great. Thanks, I will install and test when I get home. Much appreciated.

Hey Philip,

This plugin works great functionality-wise -- we are always e-mailed on new user registrations. However, quick question on the foramtting of the email.

The new_user.eml template has only the following:




However, what is returned is:



Is there a way to edit the dump value so that it does not include the HTML, etc.?

Thanks.

Yes, simple don't use <%DUMP $u%>. I used that so that you can see the variables available to you. Instead, you can retrieve any of the three values like such:

<%u.Username%>
<%u.Email%>
<%u.Password%>

or, I suppose if you really want a real dump without the HTML, I think you can use:

<%Data::Dumper::Dumper($u)%>

which will use the standard Data::Dumper module, instead of Links'.

Hi Just a quick question

I dont have links 3 installed yet. What would be needed to make this compatible with version 2.1.1?

I updated line 18 :

use Links qw/objects/;


to

use Links qw/$CFG $IN $DB/;

but no joy?

What kind of errors do you get? Does it just not send the email?

hi

Yes no errors - it just doesnt send mail

I'll see what I can figure out. I don't currently have that version of Links installed so I'll have to set it up first to debug it. Give me a few days and I'll back with you with a fix. (I'm very busy working on other plugins...)

Hello,

I installed your script on version 2.1.1 and it gives an error message.

A fatal error has occured:

You have an idea?
Thank you for your assistance.

The plugin looks like it uses Links::send_email, which was added in Gossamer Links 3.0. You are using 2.1.1, which doesn't have this function.

Is it possible to use GT::Mail->send instead.
Have tried to play around with it but no joy

Hi,

Just wanted to see if anyone has an answer to the last question i posted?
