New user info included in the notifying e-mail?

[bira]

Hi,

I have set to Yes the option to receive an e-mail notifying me when there is a new user on our Bulletin Board. This is handy to monitor (to some extent) is someone banned has reincarnated in a new handle.

However, the notifying e-mail doesn't say much, except that there's a new user with the username. Then I have to click on a link that takes me to the profile, and then I have to click on another link that takes me to the user details in the control panel.... in all honesty, this is way too time-consuming for me (we have several new users a day).

In UBB, I used to get the whole info directly in the notifying e-mail. I figured this is a simple "hack" that I can do to the vB - either find the template for that e-mail and add the variables I want, or find the executing part in the php files.

Nada.

Couldn't find it in either. Can I please have a pointer where the mailbody is for this?

Thanks,

Bira

Duh... never mind, found it after I posted, at line 307 in member.php :)

I still think, John, that this e-mail should be a template so we can change it easily.

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try and get that done.

John, for reference sake, this is how I "hacked" the notify e-mail (i.e. this is the e-mail we admins receive when someone registers):

There is a new user at Atlas F1 Bulletin Board:

username: someone
password: something
email: [email protected]
homepage: [url]http://www.someone.com[/url]
biography: Location: somewhere
Occupation: something
Interests: whatever

signature: whatever
Timezone offset: 0

To view his full profile in the control panel, go to:
[url]http://www.atlasf1.com/bb/moderator.php?action=useroptions&userid=4138[/url]

The reason I chose this information is because in 9 out of 10 cases, I can recognise returning troublemakers (they don't seem to be very clever). It never fails us :)

Also, I changed the link to the direct user page in the control panel, rather than the user profile. Just FYI.
