Admin notification email - need new fields shown

I've added street address fields to the registration form but see that they aren't coming over in the notification email.

Any way for me to get those into the admin's notification email?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes there is.
Search for language string that is used to formulate this message and add relevant field names to it.

You should not really modify this directly in the default language file. Instead you should download the English language plugin and make changes it it and then install it.

Download the CB13 english plugin and unzip it.
The string(s) you need to edit is in the english.php file:

[code:1]DEFINE ('_UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_SUB','ACTION REQUIRED! New User Registration Pending Approval');
DEFINE ('_UE_REG_ADMIN_PA_MSG','A new user has registered at [SITEURL] and requires approval.\n'
.'This email contains their details\n\n'
.'Name - [NAME]\n'
.'E-mail - [EMAILADDRESS]\n'
.'Username - [USERNAME]\n\n\n'
.'Please do not respond to this message as it is automatically generated and is for informational purposes only.\n');
DEFINE ('_UE_REG_ADMIN_SUB','New User Registration');
DEFINE ('_UE_REG_ADMIN_MSG','A new user has registered at [SITEURL].\n'
.'This email contains their details\n\n'
.'Name - [NAME]\n'
.'E-mail - [EMAILADDRESS]\n'
.'Username - [USERNAME]\n\n\n'
.'Please do not respond to this message as it is automatically generated and is for information purposes only\n');
DEFINE('_UE_REG_EMAIL_TAGS','[NAME] - Name of the User<br />'
.'[USERNAME] - Username of the User<br />'
.'[DETAILS] - Account Details of the User such as Email Address and Username<br />'
.'[PASSWORD] - Password choosen by the User (only at the first email sent upon pressing "Register"«»)<br />'
.'[CONFIRM] - Inserts confirmation link if the confirmation functionality is enabled<br />'
.'[FIELDNAME] - This will insert the value relative to the user who the email is addressed to. Just include the database field name of the field you want to include between [].<br />'
);
[/code:1]

Just add your own field names her (example [cb_street], etc).

You can benefit from becoming a CB Documentation subscriber as it will help you take full advantage of CB and it will help keep CB free.

Thank you! Seems simple enough. Just a couple of questions:

The field names in the english.php from the download don't seem to match up exactly to any that I have. For instance, I've named one of the fields cb_streetaddress. So, would my php entry be [CB_STREETADDRESS]?

Secondly, where in the file structure should the new english.php be uploaded to? Components? Or, /components/com_comprofiler/...?/..?/

Thanks!

Yes

Thanks!

Please re-read what I posted.
I did not say anything about uploading files, did I?

I said download english language plugin, unzip it, modify it, rezip it, install it as a CB plugin.

Then of course publish it if needed.

Done. Zipped and attempted to install but receive the xml error:

Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

All files in original package included in the new zip I made.

You need to install CB language packages via Plugin Management within CB; they are not Joomla install packages.
