Auto-Action: possible to generate email when registering ?

Tested with onStartSaveUserRegistration but no change... I tried also using the code $_POST = 'any@any.com'; and I noticed the value sent to my remote script and stored in his database is simply

If it's a format error then adjust the email you're trying to generate so it's in a format your site will accept. It needs to be a valid email format. You can't use first+last@test for example as it has no domain. onStartSaveUserRegistration is the first trigger fired before a registration so it'd be the correct trigger to use.

Ok I made some more test and I get now some positive result. In fact for work the correct code to use is:

However my goal was to generate my fake email using [user_id] because this value is unique for each user. So I tried this:

and this:


but none of them work... It seem [user_id] is not yet defined at this stage of registration process. Do you confirm ???

If yes which unique value I could use ?? Maybe is possible to use a session_id (if not too long) or something like that??

User ID does not exist at that point so you can't use it. There is no unique value at that point except username and email address. You only get user_id after registration once they're stored in database.

Username do not work too if using [username] or [post_username] and I think is because in my case Username field is not present/enabled at registration. I chosen also to auto-generate password in CB configuration.

This is annoying because I would like set a kind of short random string just for be sure the generated email will be always different and will never make an error (email already existent/in use). If I set only [firstname][lastname]@mydomain.com, the probability to have one day 2 persons who register with exact same name is high. A simple counter will be enough for get something such:

[firstname][lastname]00001@mydomain.com
[firstname][lastname]00002@mydomain.com
[firstname][lastname]00003@mydomain.com

Have you a suggestion ?

Correct.

You can try using a CB Query Field and use MD5( RAND() ) to generate a random string. Then substitute in the delimiter field. It may work ok in this situation, but I don't know for sure as never tried it.
