I searched, but can't find anything on this.
I have the email verification turned on, but that doesn't let me know of new sign-ups.
How can I get mail to tell me when someone registers? |

Register.asp:
Change
strRecipients = Request.Form("Email")
to
strRecipients = Request.Form("Email") & ", " & StrSender |

This is what it looks like then:quote:
'## E-mails Message to the Author of this Reply.
strRecipientsName = Request.Form("Name")
strRecipients = Request.Form("Email") & ", " & StrSender
but isn't this what goes to the new user only?
I guess not. Trying it out showed that I get a copy of the email verification message.
The meaning of that code is really hard to guess. After all, you added & strSender, which sure sounds like it wouldn't be me. I wasn't the sender, but the receiver...  |

You are the sender, the main admin is the sender, the address you put it when you first made the forum is the sender  |

I ran some test registrations, and the verification mail came neither to the applicants nor to me.
So I looked at the code and moved the coma one space over - then the mail got to the user, but not to me...
quote:
strRecipients = Request.Form("Email") & ", " & StrSender
What to do??? |

I can't get the new registrations verified with that additionalquote:
strRecipients = Request.Form("Email") & ", " & StrSender
so I had to drop it again to be sure to have it functional.
Which leaves me with the original problem: How do I get notified when there's a new registrant?
I think this is a major point of importance, and others may want to know as well! |

After 3 hours of testing it occurred to me to replace the coma between the two recipients' code with a ;quote:
like this:[quote]strRecipients = Request.Form("Email") & "; " & StrSender
This sends it properly to both addresses, but I always get the error message "Your activation key was not found..."
How can I fix that?

After 4 hours it's back to square one.
It only sent mail from localhost, but not from the web server.
So I removed the & "; " & StrSender again to make the site functional.
I am no further than I was yesterday -
I still need to know how to get notified when a new user registers!

Isn't there an easier way to achieve my goal?
Requirement:
- Give separate option in Register.asp to sign up for club membership
- Inform me by mail when someone registers
Can we not do this: - Add a required line to the registration form
- mail the form to me "on submit"
How easy would that be to do? |

| do what i did (don't have code with me)... take that whole hunk of code that sends an e-mail out to users. copy it, paste a copy of it right after it. change the e-mail it sends to to your own, then edit the body of the message to something like, "New User Signup: " (whatever you want). This'll send the normal e-mail to users, and a seperate e-mail to you |
