Hello,

Is it possible to add some of the custom fields we created into the default e-mail that is sent when a new user registers?

Thanks

I assume the Welcome or Pending email are what you want to add fields to? Yes, that's doable. If you're not using a language string you'd just add the substitutions directly to their parameters within CB > Configuration > Registration otherwise you need to edit their language strings and add your substitutions in those strings. See the below for substitution usage information.

You need to modify the language string for that email and add subscriptions to it. Specifically the below language strings are used.

Code:
'UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_SUB' => 'ACTION REQUIRED! New user sign up request pending approval', 'UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_MSG' => "A new user has signed up at [SITEURL] and requires approval.\nThis email contains their details\n\nName - [NAME]\nE-mail - [EMAILADDRESS]\nUsername - [USERNAME]\n\n\nPlease do not respond to this message as it is automatically generated and is for informational purposes only.\n", 'UE_REG_ADMIN_SUB' => 'New user sign up', 'UE_REG_ADMIN_MSG' => "A new user has signed up at [SITEURL].\nThis email contains their details\n\nName - [NAME]\nE-mail - [EMAILADDRESS]\nUsername - [USERNAME]\n\n\nPlease do not respond to this message as it is automatically generated and is for information purposes only.\n",

Hello,

So how do i do this so i dont lose my edits after a CB update? I am assuming that i need to update/change the hard coded language file for CB? Sorry for all the questions but im not sure what is the best way to do this so our edits remain after a CB upgrade.

Also how do i add a custom cb field into this? if the cb field is named cb_myfield

Would i just add it like this? [cb_myfield]

Thanks
Alan

You'll need to create a new language plugin or try using the language override plugin as shown below.
