Hi Guys,

Is there a way that I can get an email alert to go to an email when a new subscriber is added to the subscriber table?

Cheers,

That's right Ross - or a hard coded email address...

I was thinking that I could add to line 740 of the newsletterBuilder.php

$to                 = $subscriber['email'];

Hi Tim,

Sorry for the delay in reply.

You're along the right line. You could add a sendMessage function line like this on line 740:

        global $SETTINGS;

        $sendArray = array(
          'to' => $SETTINGS['adminEmail'],
          'from' => $SETTINGS['adminEmail'],
          'subject' => 'A New user has subscribed to the news letter ('.htmlencode($to).')',
          'html' => 'Hi<br> A new user has subscribed to the news letter with the e-mail address '.htmlencode($to).' They have been added to the database. <br><br>Thanks<br><br>Site Admin'
        );
        sendMessage($sendArray);

You should just be able to copy and paste this code directly into the plugin.

So this function creates an array structured for a sendMessage function, then passes it into the sendMessage function. 

Let me know if you have any questions

Thanks
