Customise emails and notifications

[Endcliffe]

Is there a way to notify administrators when new users have registered?

Also, is there a way to customise the email sent following registration?

Thanks

[Khaled]

You can use user_register action in your function.php file.

add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘yourUserRegisterFunction’);
function yourUserRegisterFunction( $user_id ){
// your code here
// you can use wp_mail function for sent mail
}

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I’m not a WordPress developer so coding an action as you suggest is not easy for me.

I searched for a plug-in that might do what I want and I found “SB Welcome Email Editor” which is perfect – it allows me to customise the new subscriber email and also send a message to the administrator to notify new subscribers. However, it doesn’t seem to work with your plug-in, and in fact now that I have both your plug-in and this “SB Welcome Email Editor” a new user no longer receives the default email that was working prior to installing the latter plug-in.

Can you tell me if there’s a way to make this “SB Welcome Email Editor” and your plug-in compatible, or alternatively suggest another way (perhaps another existing plug-in) that will enable me to (a) customise the new user registration email and (b) setup an administrator alert email?

It seems that as a future enhancement to your plugin it might be better to integrate this functionality, in which case you could add an easy way for the values of the custom user fields to appear in the email messages.

Thanks

Hi,

You kindly provided me with some code to help manage emails with user-meta (username: Endcliffe).  I have been trying to reply to you but there’s a problem with the support forums on your site:

 “Sorry, we can’t find the content you’re looking for at this URL. Please try selecting a menu item from above or to the side of this message to get where you’d like to go.  ”

 Thanks very much for your help – the extra code does almost everything that I need.  I am tweaking it to deal with my specific additional requirements but just have one more quick question – can you tell me how to extract a custom meta field so that I can do a substitution in the emails?  For example, I have a custom field with meta name “instrument” and I want to substitute occurrences of %INSTRUMENT% in the email text with the value of this meta field.  Could you give me a code snippet that will extract the appropriate value from the database?

 Thanks again for your help – you have been very helpful.  If there’s anything I can do to support your development (eg. Testimonial) then please let me know.

 

[Khaled]

As per your above request, We will provide a modified script asap.

If you want to support us(Testimonial), it will be highly appreciable for us.

Thanks for your kind support.

$data = str_replace( ‘%INSTRUMENT%’, @$user->instrument, $data );

Add this line, before line number 131 (before return $data)

Thanks.

Hi, I’m trying to implement this changes in a registration form.

I made the changes in the filterContent function in the umSetEmailController to include some custom fields in the email.

But when I debug the code, the data came empty.

This is what i’m doing:

$data = str_replace( ‘%TITLE%’, @$user->title, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%PHONE_NUMBER%’, @$user->phone_number, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%FAX_NUMBER%’, @$user->fax_number, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%JOB_TITLE%’, @$user->job_title, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%EMPLOYMENT_SECTOR%’, @$user->employment_sector, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ORGANIZATION%’, @$user->organization, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%COUNTRY%’, @$user->country, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ADDRESS%’, @$user->address, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ADDRESS_2%’, @$user->address_2, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ADDRESS_3%’, @$user->address_3, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%CITY%’, @$user->city, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%STATE%’, @$user->state, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ZIP_CODE%’, @$user->zip_code, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%NEWSLETTER%’, @$user->newsletter, $data);

Is something wrong in the way I’m doing the change?

Thank you

[Khaled]

$data variable should be return at the end of filterContent function, like:
…
$data = str_replace( ‘%ZIP_CODE%’, @$user->zip_code, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%NEWSLETTER%’, @$user->newsletter, $data);
return $data;

is it there?

Thanks.

Hi, Thank you for your reply.

This is the complete function I have:

function filterContent( $user, $data ){
$data = str_replace( ‘%BLOG_TITLE%’, get_bloginfo(‘name’), $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%BLOG_URL%’, site_url(), $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%USER_LOGIN%’, @$user->user_login, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%USER_EMAIL%’, @$user->user_email, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%DISPLAY_NAME%’, @$user->display_name, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%FIRST_NAME%’, @$user->first_name, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%LAST_NAME%’, @$user->last_name, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%USERNAME%’, @$user->username, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%PASSWORD%’, @$user->password, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%TITLE%’, @$user->title, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%PHONE_NUMBER%’, @$user->phone_number, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%FAX_NUMBER%’, @$user->fax_number, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%JOB_TITLE%’, @$user->job_title, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%EMPLOYMENT_SECTOR%’, @$user->employment_sector, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ORGANIZATION%’, @$user->organization, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%COUNTRY%’, @$user->country, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ADDRESS%’, @$user->address, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ADDRESS_2%’, @$user->address_2, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ADDRESS_3%’, @$user->address_3, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%CITY%’, @$user->city, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%STATE%’, @$user->state, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%ZIP_CODE%’, @$user->zip_code, $data);
$data = str_replace( ‘%NEWSLETTER%’, @$user->newsletter, $data);

return $data;
}

For example employment_sector is the name I’m using in the field for the form.

This is how I setup the email:

Contact Information

User Login: %USER_LOGIN%

User Email: %USER_EMAIL%

Display Name: %DISPLAY_NAME%

Username: %USERNAME%

Password: %PASSWORD%

Title: %TITLE%

First Name: %FIRST_NAME%

Address (Cont): %ADDRESS_3%

Town / City: %CITY%

Region / State: %STATE%

And this how I get the email:

Hi, I do some modification to umSetEmailController.php, hard coding for meta field is no more needed.

You need to add some line of code up-to version 1.1.1, Please follow those steps:

1. Open user-meta/framework/models/PluginFrameworkWPSupport.php
2. Find “insertUser” function, add those line before return statement of function:

$userdata[‘ID’] = $user_id;
if( $userID )
do_action( ‘user_meta_after_profile_update’, (object) $userdata );
else
do_action( ‘user_meta_after_user_register’, (object) $userdata );

3. Save files.
4. Download and unzip following zip file:
http://user-meta.com/files/2012/03/EmailController.zip

5. This file contain umSetEmailController.php script, Upload umSetEmailController.php to wp-content/plugins/user-meta/controllers directory.

6. There will be new menu under User Meta in admin panel.
7. Update your setting.
