Overview- If you have set account activation set to 'Admin' all the board Admin will receive registration notification e-mails. This may be a problem if you want multiple board Admin but only want one to be notified of new registrations.
Solution- Luckily there is a simple change which can be made to the usercp_register.php file to make this happen.
- First things first you need the user_id of the Admin you wish the e-mails to be sent to.
- You can find the Admin user_id by viewing their profile, their profile can be accessed from the member list or one of their posts.
- When viewing their profile page their user_id is contained in the URI in the address bar, it is the value after the u=
- Now we have the desired Admin user_id we can make the changes to the file. You will need to open your includes/usercp_register.php in a text editor.
- Find:
- Code: Select all
if ( !defined('IN_PHPBB') )
{
die("Hacking attempt");
exit;
}
- After Add:
- Code: Select all
//Admin id of the Admin who will receive registration notification
$admin_email_id = intval(2);
- In the above code snippet intval(2) you replace the 2 with the user_id of you're desired Admin.
- Find(about line 572):
- Code: Select all
$sql = 'SELECT user_email, user_lang
FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
WHERE user_level = ' . ADMIN;
- Replace With:
- Code: Select all
$sql = 'SELECT user_email, user_lang
FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
WHERE user_id = ' . $admin_email_id;
- Find(about line 740):
- Code: Select all
$sql = "SELECT user_email, user_lang
FROM " . USERS_TABLE . "
WHERE user_level = " . ADMIN;
- Replace With:
- Code: Select all
$sql = 'SELECT user_email, user_lang
FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
WHERE user_id = ' . $admin_email_id;
