Website Membership - Fullname in Sign-up Email

Hello, All -

I'd like to have the users fullname appear in the sign-up notification which is sent out when someone registers. A copy of this email is also sent (Bcc) to the site Admin. Displaying the fullname would be useful - especially for weeding out potential spam registrations.

I've played around with the websiteMembership.php file but cannot seem to find a way of adding fullname to the list of placeholders in the USER-SIGNUP email template.

I've added it here...

$user = mysql_get(accountsTable(), $userNum);
$emailHeaders = emailTemplate_loadFromDB(array(
'template_id' => 'USER-SIGNUP',
'placeholders' => array(
'user.username' => $user['username'],
'user.email' => $user['email'],
'user.fullname' => $user['fullname'],
'user.password' => $passwordText,
'loginUrl' => realUrl($GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']),
)));

And here...

// USER-SIGNUP
emailTemplate_addToDB(array(
'template_id' => "USER-SIGNUP",
'description' => "Website users receive this email when they sign up with their password.",
'placeholders' => array('user.username','user.email','user.fullname','user.password','loginUrl','resetUrl'), // array of placeholder names
'from' => "#settings.adminEmail#",
'to' => "#user.email#",
'subject' => "#server.http_host# Account Details",

But neither addition appears to have any effect on the email template in the CMSB backend.

What did I miss?!

Ah -

I assumed that if I'd added the code correctly (above) #user.fullname# would appear in the list of available placeholders automatically!

It should appear after you send one email, but until then you'll want to add it manually wherever you need it to be.

Let us know if you still have issues with it.
