Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out how to customize the mail to the adminstrator when a new user registers and fill in some custom fields I've added. It seems like the data is not available in the profile and the mail never sends the data. Here's whay I've done so far.

I added 2 new fields as [Title] and [Organization] into the user profile.

In the admin\Users\App_LocalResources\Profile.ascx.resx file, I've added a couple of new lines for the data as:

 <data name="ProfileProperties_Title.Text" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>Title:</value>
  </data>
  <data name="ProfileProperties_Organization.Text" xml:space="preserve">
    <value>Organization:</value>
  </data>

In the App_GlobalResources\GlobalResources.resx, i've added:

<data name="EMAIL_USER_REGISTRATION_ADMINISTRATOR_BODY.Text" xml:space="preserve">
<value>Date: [Date:Current]

First Name: [Profile:FirstName]
Last Name: [Profile:LastName]
Title: [Profile:Title]
Oranization: [Organization]
Unit: [Profile:Unit]
Street: [Profile:Street]
City: [Profile:City]
Region: [Profile:Region]
Country: [Profile:Country]
Postal Code: [Profile:PostalCode]
Telephone: [Profile:Telephone]
Email: [User:Email]

</value>
</data>

 

The email I am getting is:

First Name: test
Last Name: user
Title: [Profile:Title]   <------not picking up the data
Oranization: [Organization]  <------not picking up the data
Unit:
Street: 120 somewhere
City: Bigsmoke
Region:
Country: Canada
Postal Code: l1g5p9
Telephone: 123 123-1234

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on this? Perhaps I need to be loking at and modifying source code to make this happen?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I have the same issue.  In order to "trick" the system, I tried using the "IM" and "Website" fields to populate the email with "Company" and "Business Type"  information and in the Profile just changed the language Property Name to the name I wanted.

It works OK for the email, but if a user tries to register and does not fill in the field, DNN comes back with an error message that does not use that value, so instead of Company Name it gives the error that the user did not enter their IM handle.

This is kind of a big deal, especially for companies that use that registration email to populate a local CRM system.  We've tried to figure out how to make it work, but have not come up with a solution up to this point.  Perhaps we are just missing something in the system or in the forum postings.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

You need to extend the profile by creating additional properties, this can be done in Admin :: User Accounts using the Manage Porfile Properties.

Please note, that custom profile properties will only be replaced in DNN 4.5.3+ and the profile needs to be populated, when the message gets sent.

I upgraded yesterday morning to DNN 4.5.3, and the Admin Registration emails I am getting now only have the email address data. I require a valid Profile on  Registration and all the pertinent fields are required.

Please check my blog post at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/825/EntryID/1448/Default.aspx, and I got to notice that there is still an issue with profile properties, that shall properly be solved in next DNN version.
