Registration notification

[m.giordano]

Hi all,

provided that we have disabled 'Account' form and link, we only create site accounts by means of the registration form.
But while with the 'Account' page form the subscription notification mail worked properly, in the case of the registration form no mail seems to be sent.

Notice that all other event mails work well.

Any hint?

Regards

Marco

Hi Marco,

Am I correct in understanding that you are wondering why the system can send out a notification of account registration, but does not provide an email with conference registration confirmation and/or details?

Thanks for the clarification,
James

Yes James,

I try to be more precise.
We prefer to use registration form either for conference registration and account creation, that's why we disabled Account page(see http://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2440&hilit=#p9394).

Would it be possible to send a notification email with username and password right after the compilation of the registration form, like the Account form does?

Thank you

Marco

Hi Marco,

OK, I understand now. That should indeed be an option, and I will be reporting it as a feature request for the future. If you'd like to take a crack at it yourself, you can possibly compare what is happening with the standard Account registration page vs. the Account/conference registration page.

Cheers,
James

Ok James,

we'll try to hack it mimicking the code from the Account form.
I'll let you know...

Hi Marco,

Would you be able to provide a patch here for future reference? I submitted a bug/feature request for this (http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3234), and can run your solution past the developers as well.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

I ask Marco Gori (a colleague who has coded the hack) to post a patch proposal directly to the Bugzilla request. Is it o.k. for you?
Consider that we are working on a close deadline, thus the post could come in the forthcoming days....

Cheers

Marco

Hi Marco,

Yes, posting directly to Bugzilla would be appreciated -- go for it.

Cheers,

I've also tried to backport the patch that was posted to that bug, so it would work on 2.0.0.1 - I would appreciate knowing if it works for others.
