    Posted: 14 November 2004 at 9:37am

Am I missing something here?  Aren't I supposed to get a notice by e-mail of a new member registration?

I've gone over my forum settings, and I can't seem to find it, but I was sure that a basic function like this existed in WWF...

Thanks,
Jake

Sorry, there is no such feature in web wiz forums.

You can only get email notification of posts and private messages.

Sorry for the confusion on my part.  Until I found WebWiz, I had gone through a couple of other message board packages.  Perhaps I'm recalling a feature from another board.

Could this, perhaps, be included in future releases as an option?  For example, I'm awaiting the registrations of several friends of mine.  Upon their registration, I'm going to add the to a private group that will reveal a private forum for us apart from the general setup.  I have to keep checking the forum to see if someone new has registered.

If it were a check box in the forum configuration that would alert me upon new member registration, I'd be on top of things without all the manual checking.

Thanks for your time,
Jake

it isn't that hard to impliment,

just copy the email sent to the new user,  and edit its details and change the email address who its sent to.

I believe what Hazelip wants is to receive a BCC when someone registers. A simple solution would be to just add a .BCC field in the functions_send_mail.asp file.

The problem with that is you will get BCCed on every piece of mail that goes through the forum like post reply notices, PM notices, etc..

Another, more efficient way is to simply edit the register.asp page so that a variable is passed to the functions_send_mail.asp page.

Like this:

Add the session tag to register.asp (or any other page that includes the email function)

<!--#include file="common.asp" -->
<%Session("BCC") = True%>
<!--#include file="functions/functions_send_mail.asp" -->

Now open functions_send_mail.asp and find the code for your particular email program. I will use CDOSYS for this example.

.To = strRecipientName

If Session("BCC") = True then

.BCC = your@emailaddress.com

Session("BCC") = False

End If

Now, everytime someone registers, you will get a copy.

That's sort of what I want, arpee.  What I really want, is two options in the forum configuration.  If neither is selected, then nothing from the current set up would be affected.

1.  Receive all individual notices of new forum member registrations.
2.  Receive a daily digest of all new forum member registrations.

1 quite easy to do.

2. unless you are scheduling .. it would be a bit hard to do.... it is do able.

by checking the date and if its different to yesturday run a script and change a veriable in the Confoig table to hold todays date.

*edit -

but if noone visits for a day it wont be updated/run the script.
