Welcome Email?

CrazyCarlx2 · October 2010

I want to send a welcome email when people join, I have my registration set the to "basic" method. Basically, as soon as they join I want to send them an email that just says welcome to the site.

UserModel has an event in its _Insert() method, fired like so:
$this->FireEvent('AfterInsertUser');

So you could write a plugin that hooks that method, like so:
public function UserModel_AfterInsertUser_Handler($Sender) { ... }

Within that hook you could add some code to send an email to the newly inserted user whose ID would be available in the EventArguments, like so:
$Sender->EventArguments['InsertUserID']

Thx for the fast reply and your input, I'll see what I can do. I'm not that PHP savy so some of this stuff is gibberish to me. I have trouble understanding all the objects and $this flying everywhere.

I've got it working for the most part, is there an easy way to grab the InsertUserID's Email??

Assuming you're inside the UserModel's event handler:

$UserID = GetValue('InsertUserID', $Sender->EventArguments, NULL);
if (!is_null($UserID) {
   $UserData = $Sender->Get($UserID);
   $UserEmail = GetValue('Email', $UserData);
}
