Can't CC or send additional email to Web Admin for Notification of User Registrations

[OAVHomeAdmin]

Hello,

I am currently building multiple websites on the CodeIgniter 3 and CI Bonfire 0.7 Infrastructures and all of the Website Owners would like to at least receive a notification once a user registers for there website. I have been fumbling with this issue for some time now and I've come to no resolve in getting this working.

I have attempted to add a 'cc' to the activate($user_id = null) function in the User Model, to no avail. Does anyone have any examples to reference or has this ever even been functional?

Why not just send them an email in the register method in the user controller?

$this->load->library('emailer/emailer');
$data = array(
     'to'       => 'siteadmin@owner.com',
     'subject'  => 'New user has signed up',
     'message'  => 'A new user has signed up. Their details are blah blah blah'
);

 $this->emailer->send($data);

I also added in a bcc variable to the emailer.php library so I could pass this through as a data attribute to send_email if that's what you are looking to do which just passes it to codeigniter: $this->ci->email->bcc($bcc);

Would I place this within the if (isset($_POST['register'])) method of the function after the Template::set_message($message, $error ? 'error' : 'success'); ?

Like so,

`public function register() { // Are users allowed to register? if (! $this->settings_lib->item('auth.allow_register')) { Template::set_message(lang('us_register_disabled'), 'error'); Template::redirect('/'); }

    $register_url = $this->input->post('register_url') ?: REGISTER_URL;
    $login_url    = $this->input->post('login_url') ?: LOGIN_URL;

    $this->load->model('roles/role_model');
    $this->load->helper('date');

    $this->load->config('address');
    $this->load->helper('address');

    $this->load->config('user_meta');
    $meta_fields = config_item('user_meta_fields');
    Template::set('meta_fields', $meta_fields);

    if (isset($_POST['register'])) {
        if ($userId = $this->saveUser('insert', 0, $meta_fields)) {
            // User Activation
            $activation = $this->user_model->set_activation($userId);
            $message = $activation['message'];
            $error   = $activation['error'];

            Template::set_message($message, $error ? 'error' : 'success');

            $this->load->library('emailer/emailer');
            $data = array(
                    'to'        => 'siteadmin@owner.com',
                    'subject'   => 'New user has signed up',
                   'message'    => 'A new user has signed up. Their details are blah blah blah'
             );

            $this->emailer->send($data);

             log_activity($userId, lang('us_log_register'), 'users');
            Template::redirect($login_url);

        }

        Template::set_message(lang('us_registration_fail'), 'error');
        // Don't redirect because validation errors will be lost.
    }

    if ($this->siteSettings['auth.password_show_labels'] == 1) {
        Assets::add_js(
            $this->load->view('users_js', array('settings' => $this->siteSettings), true),
            'inline'
        );
    }

    // Generate password hint messages.
    $this->user_model->password_hints();

    Template::set_view('users/register');
    Template::set('languages', unserialize($this->settings_lib->item('site.languages')));
    Template::set('page_title', 'Register');
    Template::render();
}`

Probably the simplest way to do it. You can load a view for the message template if you needed to too.

Okay, testing!

In the meantime, can I ask you another question, do you have an example template or a link to a good example for a File Uploader for CI Bonfire?
