Login Snippet: calling confirmUrl in preHooks snippet

I have set up a preHooks snippet (&preHooks=`ActivationEmailTpl) in my [[!Register?]] call to send an email to my site administrator. I would like for the administrator to receive the confirmation URL (a href="[[+confirmUrl]]">[[+confirmUrl]]</a>), rather than the user. I have everything working just fine except I am not successfully calling in the [[+confirmUrl]] into the email that is being generated on registration. I am using the code below in my snippet:

1. Why are you sending an email on the "preHook"? preHooks run *before* a form is processed. Wouldn’t you want this in a postHook?

2. The activation URL is not sent in the postHook parameters, since it’s only generated if &activation=`1`. I’m guessing you have that off. You can file a Feature Request and I can look into getting that moved outside of that so that a postHook could have it.

Okay, so my approach is secondary to the fact that I am learning the Login package. My customer would like to receive an email (with an activation link) when an end user registers and then based on the user info easily approve (or not), that user, without having to go to the site and login.

So, following the registration process am I able to send an email with an activation link to a designated email address, not the email field in the form?

Currently activation only sends an email to the party that registered.

To send it to a middle man, instead, would require modification to the way Register works. You can always request that as a Feature: http://github.com/splittingred/Login/issues

P.S. I’ve released Login 1.4.0-rc1 that allows you to set an &activationEmail property to Register that will send activation emails there instead of to the newly registered user’s email.

You rock Shaun!!

No doubt.
