Send email on profile image upload was created by bigtuner
Hey now Everyone

Joomla! 2.5.7
Community Builder 1.8.1

When someone uploads a new image for their profile, I want them to receive an email. I must approve the image and so there is a delay. Users say they don't know whether their upload was a success and expect to see the image right away.

How might I implement this?

Thanks for your advice!

Dan

Enable moderator emails within CB > Configuration > Moderation and ensure image upload approval is enabled. Once done edit your user within CB > User Management and ensure your user is configured to receive moderator emails. You should then receive an email when someone uploads a new Profile Image (this only works for profile image, it does not work for other image fields).

It tells the user immediately that it's pending approval and shows an avatar with a pending icon. So don't understand their confusion. Perhaps they're missing the message if your template is missing the ever important message tag (test with default Joomla template as it always has it).

For a user to receive an email you'd need to use CB Auto Actions and setup an email action after profile update and check if the image field was changed. Aside from that there's no such feature.
