Send email copy to the admin

Post by open-your-eyes »

I want a copy of the registration email to be sent to the admin. Here is how it was done in phpBB2:

Code: Select all

OPEN
includes/usercp_register.php

FIND
         include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/emailer.'.$phpEx);
         $emailer = new emailer($board_config['smtp_delivery']);

         $emailer->from($board_config['board_email']);
         $emailer->replyto($board_config['board_email']);

AFTER, ADD
         // Send email to the admin
         $emailer->bcc($board_config['board_email']);
Thank you.

Seeing as how you’re looking for something that changes the way vanilla phpBB works you need an extension. Also please note, you should request it for 3.2 as well as 3.1 as 3.1 is EOL on July 1st and there’ll be no support for 3.1 after that.

Thank you Kev, but it's not what I'm searching for. I want an exact copy of the registration mail. I need to add BCC.

That gives you all of the information but without the unnecessary 'welcome' wording. So you're not losing anything you need.

But what difference does it make to have the useless wording in it along with the actual useful information like the username, email etc?

But what is the motivation? Or why should anyone be motivated to write code for that?

I've been using this on phpBB2 and I found it very useful. So now I need it again.
I don't think it is too much code to write for doing this.

Please remember that everyone on here volunteers their time and skill, and (In most cases) write an extension because they are interested in what that extension will do, the challenge it will involve, or maybe just 'because'.

Saying "I want it" is not likely to encourage someone to get involved unless you can also give a clear benefit that the extension will give.
