Sending user details upon registration

-- url of the page with the problem -- : www.olistikavetline.eu

-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.4

Hi again!

This time I was asked (..hm...maybe ordered!) by my client but couldn't find a solution.

here's the scenery:

A new user registers on our site (with Hikashop)
Admin receives mail
And this is ok, but the mail only contains few informations
"Hello administrator,
A new user 'xxxx', username 'xxxxx', has registered at http://..../."

My boss wants to receive the details via mail, whicih means
username
address
VAT (IVA)
phone
ecc...

How can this task be solved?
Told him to go and searche for the user details, but it seems like 4 clicks can kill

Hi,

You can edit the email "user_account_admin_notification" via the menu System > Emails (business edition).
And in this email in the "$this->data" PHP object you will find all the desired informations.

Ok, here i am!
Went Business (feels like more I'm a Boss now!)

In the user_account_administrator_notification

i see

?><?php
echo JText::sprintf(
'HIKA_USER_ACCOUNT_ADMIN_NOTIFICATION_BODY',
$data->name,
$data->username,
HIKASHOP_LIVE



Should I add
"$data->vat"?

By the way, is there a way to add the VAT or NIN in the "admin email notification of the order?"

thanks again

Hi,

Yes you can add $data->vat, but you will have to edit the translation value for the key "HIKA_USER_ACCOUNT_ADMIN_NOTIFICATION_BODY" in the language file in order to add another %s to display that value.

To add data to the admin notification email you can edit the mail "order_admin_notifiication".

Hi Xavier, thanks for the help.
Yet, I couldln't succeed in putting the VAT in the "admin order notification"

This is the part of code in which I tried to put it, but couldn't guess the proper code to add (tried {$data->VAT} and so on, but didn't work)

<tr>
<!--{IF:BILLING_ADDRESS}-->
<td>{VAR:BILLING_ADDRESS}</td><!--{ENDIF:BILLING_ADDRESS}-->
<!--{IF:SHIPPING}--><!--{IF:SHIPPING_ADDRESS}--><td>{VAR:SHIPPING_ADDRESS}</td><!--{ENDIF:SHIPPING_ADDRESS}--><!--{ENDIF:SHIPPING}-->
</tr>

Hi,

Why are you talking about the "admin order notification" ?
The email is when a user is registering so it is the email : "user_account_administrator_notification" (like it was written several times in this thread).

Hi Jerome, it was about this

Hi,

If you want to display easily some user custom field in the email, the best is to modify the preload and then use the tags in the HTML part.
You can see this post for more details about it:
www.hikashop.com/forum/orders-management...o-emails.html#185664

The notification emails already allow to display the data from the "order", "billing_address", "shipping_address".
The user will be added in the next release ; it was something missing (but the process to add it before that is explained in the other thread).

Regards,

I tried adding 'user' => $userInfos,
in the preload
and added
{VAR:user.mycustomfieldname}
in the html, but nothing shows up in the email.

All I need, is to show the VAT in the Admin Notification email, nothing more, but can't find a way
It's been 3 days since I first posted the help request, I would need to fix it as quickly as possible since the client is getting impatient

Thanks in advance

Hi,

That's the correct way of doing it.
I see however that you're talking about adding the VAT ? I suppose that you're talking about the VAT number of the user, and in that case, I suppose that you're using the "address_vat" field which is provided by default by HikaShop so that you can configure the tax rules based on it.
This field is a custom address field, not a custom user field. So even though your code would be correct to display a custom user field, it won't help for that address_vat field.
Instead, you should edit the files "address_template" of both your frontend and backend template via the menu Display->Views and add the tag {address_vat} into them and it will then work.

Note that if you need a quick solution to your issues, the best is that you provide precise information on what you want to do (here, a screenshot of your custom fields options screen would have allowed us to directly tell you what I just wrote if your custom field was of the type address, which I'm still guessing here).

You are right, I was in such a hurry that I didn't even realize that I was the one confusing!

Here comes a clarifying screenshot of my needs



My customers add the VAT code/NIN when they register in the field "address_vat" (address table) and that's what I would need to show.

So if I'm getting it right, I should go to:
Display->Views->address_template (both frontend and backend), and add {address_vat}

right?

That's right

Yes everybody, that really worked!

Now....if I want to show the same data to the "User account administrator notification"?

I did try something but the mail stopped working so I had to remove the customizations
gotta increase my php skils...a lot..

Hi,

The email "User account administrator notification" is quite lite and does not have the same kind of "preload" part.
So even the HTML or the Text version are in PHP and does not handle the tag replacement elements.

But in the variable You will find the content of the user address if the user have fill such kind of information during his registration.
But I fully admit that the current email is pretty raw compared to the other HikaShop emails.

Regards,
