Edit joomla registration admin email

Question

I want to change the email the admin gets when when a new user is being registered. I want to add field he gets about the user. I tried changing the en-GB.com_user file (although eventually I need it in Russian, but that's besides the point) It didn't help.

When I tried a language override, I couldn't register new users at all. I'm still guessing I can do it through language override by adding the right text I just don't have a clue of what to write instead of : %s \n E-mail: %s \n

what does the \n %s \n mean?

I guess that somehow I need to change the COM_USERS_EMAIL_ACTIVATE_WITH_ADMIN_ACTIVATION_BODY

but HOW and WHERE?

Answer 1

I have figured it out.

1. Find /home/joomla/public_html/components/com_users/models/registration.php and add:

   $emailBody = JText::sprintf( 'COM_USERS_EMAIL_ACTIVATE_WITH_ADMIN_ACTIVATION_BODY', $data['sitename'], $data['name'], $data['email'], $data['username'], $data['yourdatabasecolumn'], $data['siteurl'].'index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate&token='.$data['activation'] );

2. Find /home/joomla/public_html/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_users.ini and add:

   COM_USERS_EMAIL_ACTIVATE_WITH_ADMIN_ACTIVATION_BODY="Hello administrator,\n\nA new user has registered at %s.\nThe user has verified his email, and requests that you approve his account.\nThis email contains their details:\n\n Name : %s \n Email: %s \n Username: %s \n Yourdatabasename : %s \nYou can activate the user by clicking on the link below:\n %s \n"

everything must be in the right order
