Thread

Hi - I’m trying to send email notifications to my users on two events.  First is when they register via USER and the second is when they submit an entry via Safecracker.  I looked into several options and none of them seem to work.  Standard notifications and MX Notify were not useful.  So I am trying to either use email from template (which I’m finding slow) or just straight PHP.  In either case, {email} or {logged_in_email} is parsed after those tags run so I can never send to the registrant or submitters email.  I tried using snippets and global variables to preparse the email address but nothing seems to work for me.

Suggestions?

Hi, janey. Have you contacted either of those third party vendors for support using their offerings?

I did not because it didn’t seem like the issues were based on those plugins.  It’s more of an issue of me not knowing about parsing and proper use of EE.  The good news is that I fixed my own problem by creating my own plug-ins.  I basically made my own email from template plug in that calls information via EE functions.  While I was at it I made my own redirect plug-in since I wasn’t having any luck with other plug-ins.  No parsing issues now 😊

Thanks

Glad things are working again.. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
