How to send a custom message to newly registered user

Hello Max,

People don't receive any message after registration. The Chrono Forms plugin was sending en empty message with "SEND_MSG" in it from Administrator. I want to send a custom message containing "username" "password" and a welcome message. Right now nothing is sent not even the standard Joomla welcome message.
Please advise.

Something else, is it possible that people be redirected to a "registered only" page directly after registration or do they have to login first? if so, do you know if it is possible to create an automatic login after registration?

Thank you for your help,

L.

Hi Laure,

did you make the com_user language file copy which I suggested at another thread ? and did you set Email user to yes at the plugin config ?

you can edit the registration message then at the new language file you will create, well its not the easiest way now, I will add some enhancements to this but I'm really very busy this week!

I believe they should login first ? search the jooml api : http://api.joomla.org for a function called login, its somewhere there.

Max

Hi Max,

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't make the com_user language file copy but I did turn the email user to Yes and it got SEND_MSG as message body. Not really what I hoped for.

you can edit the registration message then at the new language file you will create, well its not the easiest way now, I will add some enhancements to this but I'm really very busy this week!

So I have to copy the com_user language file and place it "somewhere in your plugin folder" and edit it to update the email message that is sent???

I believe they should login first ? search the jooml api : http://api.joomla.org for a function called login, its somewhere there.

No I found there was a possibility to do automatic login after registration with Joomla com_user. I hope this will be the same with your plugin.

To be honest Max. We would both really save a lot of time if you took the time to do that long tutorial I know we're all begging for. Looking for scattered info here and there is neither fun nor user friendly and takes a huge amount of time. I already told you so. I'm ready to pay for it and access to priority support. I would gladly pay $40 annually and your support is already splendid for free. You could almost double your income instantly. I'm selling stuff on line and honestly you're sitting on a pile of gold....😛

Kind regards,

Hi Laure,

#1,2 , you need to go to the language folder, copy the com_user component ini file at the same directory and rename it, thats all!

#3-, ok, as stated there, just add this to the onsubmit after email :

$usersipass['username'] = JRequest::getVar('username_field');
      $usersipass['password'] = JRequest::getVar('password_field');
      $mainframe->login($usersipass);
      $mainframe->redirect( 'index.php' );

I agree with you about this and I will try to do it, but well, it might been easier earlier ? suddenly Bob disappeared (still don't know why and I'm worried) and I'm now working alone for development and support, I will try to find a way out, hopefully soon!

Max

Thanks Max,

I didn't know about Bob.

copy the com_user component ini file at the same directory and rename it, thats all!

What name should I use may I ask?

I'll do the registration plugin video tutorial after I finish this assignement as promised.;-)

Hi Laure,

at the copy, remove "Copy of", replace user with chronocontact , so its the same syntax as other files!🙂

Thanks!

Max

Hey,

It seems to be working. I'm super happy.


Thanks Max,

Laure

Hello Max,

Just wondering if it's possible to add user_email and user_password in the welcome message.
It seems it's not possible because it's in a language file.

Any suggestions?

Hi Laura,

the new V3.0 stable will not need the language file change or copy, get it then edit the com_user language file to add whatever data you may like!🙂

Regards

Max

That's surperb!

When can I get it? when? when?

and Max.. raise your price. Honestly you both deserve it.

Regards,

La...

Hi Laure,

the new V3.0 is in the downloads, V3.1 doesn't have a specific date yet, many other users want features!

not all users use the full Chronoforms features so the price can't go up for everybody, not fair!🙂

Regards

Max

Hey Max,

You said you sent me the update but I didn't get it. Can you send it again?

I'm not going to fight with you to make you increase your price :wink: but
take a look at your recent reviews in Joomla extensions.
I'm not the only one who thinks you deserve it. Your support is
phenomenal. Once I understand how your new version functions
I'll make a video tutorial to make it up to you.

Cheers,

Laure

Hi Laure,

I think you have got them by now!:)

Thank you, the video also will be great of course🙂

I think I can come up with some ideas for more revenues without increasing the Chronoforms price, will think about it.

Regards

Max
