NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration does not work

Hi Joe,

in order to semplify the registration process of new users, I recently added to user.config of several sites the following key.

<addkey="AutoGenerateAndHideUserNamesWhenUsingEmailForLogin"value="true"/>

After that I did not receive anymore the notification of new user registrations despite the presence of the following keys

<addkey="NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration"value="true" />

 

Is the first key affecting the second one or this is just a coincidence and I should check something else?

(mojoPortal v. 2.3.8.1 MSSQL)

Thanks

Diego

Re: NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration does not work

Hi Diego, the NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration key is no longer used in recent versions of mojoPortal. The new method to be notified of new users is to put your email address(es) in "Email Addresses(es) For User Approval Notification" in Site Settings, Security. This field is unfortunately named, because it is actually used for new user notification whether you are using user approvals or not.

Hope that helps,

Jamie

Re: NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration does not work

Hi Jamie,

that's right. I have set the email address for "Email Addresses(es) For User Approval Notification" field and averything works.

I just let you know that the notification email text still says that if you no longer want to receive the notification you should set <addkey="NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration"value="false" /> (or perhaps it is only my Italian translation that is not up to date I will have a double check on this).

Thanks to you suggestion, the objective is reached. I will check the translation of field labels and messages templates with next release.

P.S. field help says that if you require the new user approval and leave the field blank, all administrators will receive the notification. Perhaps, to avoid any misunderstandings, it should behave the same even if approval is not required...

Thanks.

Diego

Re: NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration does not work

Hi Diego, thanks for that report. I had already reported that template change to Joe. I just downloaded the latest code line and en-US-NotifyAdminofNewUserRegistationMessage.config has been changed to the following, if you want to update the Italian translation from this:

A new user has registered on your site {0} {1}

You can review or manage this user from the Members List on your site or by following this link:
{2}

You are receiving this message because your site is configured to require approval before newly registered users can sign into the site or because you have configured notification of new user registrations. If you no longer wish to receive these notifications, you can disable them by navigating to Administration > Site Settings > Security, and removing your email address from the "Email Addresses(es) For User Approval Notification" field.

You can check if your site is configured to require approval before new users can sign in from the Site Settings page.
If either of these settings is enabled you will recieve this notification.

Also Joe, if you are reading this when you return, would you please correct "recieve" to "receive" in that final sentence?

Thanks,

Jamie
