block user on after user reg, based on fld

Feel free to comment on the tutorial itself!

hello

I implemented your trick based on the Nant tutorial and all work fine..

However I get a problem about the welcome message. In fact when a user register and his account is triggered for be set on "Unapproved" status, the standard welcome message is sent. Then when we decide to approve this user, he get unfortunately again the same welcome message.

I wondering if is possible to avoid to send the first welcome message (like that the user will get only the second when we approved his profile) but I imagine this is not possible because you mention this is an issue when using this trick. But maybe is possible to avoid to send the second message (like that we can setup another email using Auto-Action and trigger onAfterUserApproval for send a better customized message adapted to this situation).

How do you deal with the fact to send twice welcome message ??


Other issue:

My website is in french and german but I setup Joomla backend in english because is more easy and convenient to manage in english for me.

I noticed when I need to approve a user and if I keep my backend in english, the user will not receive his email notification on his own language. In fact I don't use english on my frontend...so user will get a blank notification with inside the language string untranslated.

So if I'm not wrong that mean I must always check in which language user have registered and switch Joomla backend in the same language used by user. Then I can approve his account like that user will get the correct notification in his own language..

This is a bit annoying because of course this require to not forget to always switch Joomla language backend otherwise user will get wrong email notification language.

Do you plan to allow us to send this kind of message in the correct user language, even if our backend is not in a language active and used in frontend ??? Or maybe this happen also due to the bug mentioned in my other topic who discuss to the same problem but for CBSUBS ??

thank

You may want to try the Fields action as the query action doesn't update the current $user object while the Fields action does.

You could disable CBs email within CB > Configuration > Registration and configure CB Auto Actions to send your emails.

Known issue. Emails send from backend will send in the language of the administrator performing the action rather then the language of the user receiving the email.

Yes, it's a bug.
