Re: [gkornbluth] set membership signup to default to "disabled"

By gkornbluth - May 4, 2010

Hi Dave,

Thanks, the line of code in the error checking section of emailonapproved got rid of the error I was getting and the plugin is now working.

I’d like to include the login form URL in the text of the congratulations e-mail, but can’t seem to get the syntax correct.

I’m trying to use something like:

'from' => $SETTINGS['adminEmail'],
'to' => $_REQUEST['email'],
'subject' => "Your membership has been approved!",
'text' => "Congratulations!

You're membership has been approved and you now have access to the \"Members Only\" area of our web site.
Your temporary password is: {$_REQUEST['password']}. \n

Once you have successfully logged in, you can change your password and update your profile information. \n

<a href=”http://www.my_url.org{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']}">Click here to login</a>

Best,

Membership Committee

Thanks,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Jerry,

Are you getting an error?

From looking at your code, you could try this:

'from' => $SETTINGS['adminEmail'],
'to' => $_REQUEST['email'],
'subject' => "Your membership has been approved!",
'text' => <<< __TEXT__
Congratulations!

You're membership has been approved and you now have access to the \"Members Only\" area of our web site.
Your temporary password is: {$_REQUEST['password']}. \n

Once you have successfully logged in, you can change your password and update your profile information. \n

<a href=”http://www.my_url.org{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']}">Click here to login</a>

Best,

Membership Committee
__TEXT__

It is very important that the "__TEXT__" line at the bottom be flush against the left hand side. Even if there is just a space, you'll get an error.

Hope this helps.

Jason,

I gave it a try and made a few modifications (guesses) regarding the double quotes at the befginning and end of the "text" section and the escapes for the double quotes in the href. (Got errors without them)

here's the code that I'm using:
// send email
$wasChecked = intval(!$oldRecord[$fieldname] && $_REQUEST[$fieldname]);
$wasUnchecked = intval($oldRecord[$fieldname] && !$_REQUEST[$fieldname]);

if ($wasChecked) {
$errors = sendMessage(array(
'from' => $SETTINGS['adminEmail'],
'to' => $_REQUEST['email'],
'subject' => "Your membership has been approved!",
'text' => "<<< __TEXT__
Congratulations!

You're Artists of Palm Beach County membership has been approved and you now have access to the \"Members Only\" area of our web site. \n
Your user name is: {$_REQUEST['username']} \n
and your temporary password is: {$_REQUEST['password']}.\n \n
Once you have successfully logged in, you can change your password and update your profile information. \n \n


<a href=\”http://www.artistsofpalmbeachcounty.org{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']}\">Click here to login</a>

Best, \n

The Membership Committee
__TEXT__
",
));
if ($errors) { die($errors); }
}
}

?>

And here's the result that I get in the e-mail:

<<< __TEXT__
Congratulations!

You're Artists of Palm Beach County membership has been approved and you now have access to the "Members Only" area of our web site.

Your user name is: fish

and your temporary password is: a2b95721c561bb5ed.


Once you have successfully logged in, you can change your password and update your profile information.

<a href=\ http://www.artistsofpalmbeachcounty.org/sample_login.php">Click here to login</a>

Best,

__TEXT__

I'm probably very close but don't what else to do.

Thanks,

Hi Jerry,

It would probably be easiest to put your email into a $message variable and then put it into your array.

Something like this:

$message=<<< __TEXT__
Congratulations!

You're Artists of Palm Beach County membership has been approved and you now have access to the \"Members Only\" area of our web site. \n
Your user name is: {$_REQUEST['username']} \n
and your temporary password is: {$_REQUEST['password']}.\n \n
Once you have successfully logged in, you can change your password and update your profile information. \n \n


<a href=\"http://www.artistsofpalmbeachcounty.org{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']}\">Click here to login</a>

Best, \n

The Membership Committee
__TEXT__

Then sending your message like this:

$errors = sendMessage(array(
'from' => $SETTINGS['adminEmail'],
'to' => $_REQUEST['email'],
'subject' => "Your membership has been approved!",
'text' => $message,

Hope this helps.

Hey Jason,

Seems that the variable $message doesn't like spaces.

There must be an easier way.

Hi,

What error are you getting? If you attach the file you're working with I can take a look at it for you.

Thanks.

Hi Jason,

I know I'm going to be embarrassed when I find out the answer, but the plugin file is attached.

When I try to use this I get a
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /hsphere/local/home/apbcweb/artistsofpalmbeachcounty.org/cmsAdmin/plugins/emailOnApproved.php on line 32 error when I try to login to the CMS Builder Admin page

Hi Jerry,

There are some spaces (or other characters) after the
$message=<<< __TEXT__
so just make sure they are removed first. After that, just add a semicolon after the bottom __TEXT__ line:

__TEXT__;

That should take care of it for you. Let me know.
