CHANGING THE TEXT OF THE SIGNUP EMAIL - Jun 1st, 2011
|
Another thing you’ll probably want to do is to change changing the text of the sign up e-mail that’s sent to
prospective members.
At the bottom of the websiteMembership.php plugin file, you’ll find the following block of code.
// send email
$to = $_REQUEST['email'];
$subject = "{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']} Account Details";
$message = "Hi {$_REQUEST['email']},\n"
. "\n"
. "Thanks for signing up to {$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}.\n"
. "\n"
. "Your username is: {$username}\n"
. "Your password is: {$_REQUEST['password']}\n"
. "\n"
. "Please click here to login:\n"
. "http://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$GLOBALS['WEBSITE_LOGIN_LOGIN_FORM_URL']}\n"
. "\n"
. "Thanks!\n";
$mailResult = @mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: {$SETTINGS['adminEmail']}");
if (!$mailResult) { die("Mail Error: $php_errormsg"); }
}
?>
While this is OK for a one step sign up approach, you’ll probably not want to include the user name, password, or
login address in this e-mail.
In the version below, I’ve changed that to a more logical set of instructions. Including a payment link if required.
Note that /n is the code for a new line, there is only one ; and it marks the end of the message $section, the . is the
operator that says “add” this line to the string,
// send email
$to = $_REQUEST['email'];
$subject = "{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']} Membership Application";
$message = "Hi {$_REQUEST['email']},\n"
. "\n"
. "Thanks for applying to be a member of {$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}.\n"
. "\n"
. "As soon as your membership has been approved you'll receive a confirmation email with a link to our
login page.\n"
. "Once you log in you'll be able to enter your member profile information so that others can contact you.\n"
. "\n"
. "Remember, you can not be approved if you haven't paid your first year's dues.\n"
. "\n"
. "You can pay your dues on-line using PayPal here:\n"
. "http://www.your_website.org/paypal.php\n"
. "\n"
. "Thanks and Welcome!\n"
. "\n"
. "The Membership Committee\n";
$mailResult = @mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: {$SETTINGS['adminEmail']}");
if (!$mailResult) { die("Mail Error: $php_errormsg"); }
}
