Email Admin When a User Updates Registration Data

· ·

Here’s a request I get from time to time – how can the admin receive email notification that a user updated their data, so I figured it is about time to put that together as a tutorial.

This one should be fairly straight forward and can be used cut-and-paste for the general features.  As usual, I’ve tried to comment the code so that you know what is happening where and more advanced users can build on this concept from there.  Continue Reading →

Feature Updates

  • Added WP user fields user_nicename, display_name, and nickname to the $fields array, defaults to $username for backward compatibility.
  • Updated field manager process to allow user_nicename, display_name, and nickname to be added via the fields manager as WP native fields
  • Added wpmem_register_data filter for $fields to allow filtering of all fields prior to new user insertion, including above new fields (added updates to registration function to make better use of the filter).
  • Added wpmem_pre_validate_form for $fields to allow filtering fields prior to default form field validation.
  • Begin implementation of moving bulk user management features into Users > All Users. Users > All Users screen can now activate and export users, and will show additional fields as selected in the fields manager. 
  • Added wpmem_admin_profile_heading, wpmem_admin_profile_field, and wpmem_admin_profile_update filters. These filters are all part of the user profile section.

Fixes, Patches, & Code Improvements

  • Fixed the conversion of update-profile to members-area shortcode. The bug renders all page shortcodes as members-area.
  • Fixed the activate user process for user defined passwords, a bug from 2.8.0/2.8.1.
  • Fixed a bug that can cause the sidebar login widget to not post to the correct url when a static front page is used.
  • Fixed user profile update (updates with custom checkbox don’t stay checked), an issue from 2.8.0.
  • Patch correcting the front-side registration form nonce. This patch should improve reliability while still using nonces for security.
  • Patch for the dropdown field for users running < PHP 5.3.
  • Made front-side nonce optional, defaults to off.
  • Moved utility functions out of core.php to utility file utilities.php.
  • Moved the location of the wpmem_email_notify hook so the filter comes after shortcodes are parsed.
  • Updated the registration function to rely on the values contain in $fields, allowing for the array values to be filtered.
  • Updated the registration form to accommodate registration function updates.
  • Improved auto excerpt function screens for unclosed common html tags and provides a closing tag if none exists.
  • Improved export process to wrap fields with double quotes – fixes issues if field contains a comma.
