Generating an email when a new webuser registers

Is there any way of generating an email to myself (or any other fixed email address) when a new webuser registers? I need to do this in addition to the email that is auto generated to the web user.

If you’re using WebLoginPE, the &notify parameter specifies who you want to be notified; you can specify multiple recipients by separating multiple email addresses with commas. There is also the &notifyTpl parameter so you can use a customized chunk template for the email.

If you really don’t want to use WebLoginPE, you could write a plugin using the OnWebSaveUser event, check the $mode value (for "new") and send an email. The OnWebSaveUser event makes these values available:

"mode",
"userid",
"username",
"userpassword",
"useremail",
"userfullname"

Thanks.

Sorry to be asking such basic questions but I’m finding the modx documentation to be woefully inadequate. How do I reference these values from within my plugin code?

As variables; $mode etc.

Oh right, just as normal php variables then?

Right. I haven’t used WebLogin for some time now; WebLoginPE is much better.

Sort of wish I’d gone with webloginPE now but i’ve done the email thing now anyway.

Just out of interest, where would I go to find out details such as which variables certain events make use of etc. The thing i’m finding most difficult really is the lack of documentation.

I go directly to the code; there are several places to look. The parser events are in manager/includes/document.parser.inc.php; the others are in the various files in the action and the processors directories. I don’t know if these have ever been documented; they really do need to be if they haven’t.

I also tend to do a lot of print_r in my plugins to see just what is available.
