New User Notification

Report · Jun 19, 2006

I am creating a web site where the users have to be registere in order to access the site. To accomidate that i have created a registration page.

But registration alone will gurantee automatic access to the site, therefore the default access level is set at guest.

So far there is not problem.

Now the feature i am looking for is to get notified by the server whenever a new user has registered. That way i can review the infomration and then adjust the access level accordingly. Otherwise i have to check the database everyday to see if anyone has registered!

Anyone knows a good way to get this accomplished.

what scripting language do you have on the server?

In Response To jeremyluby · Jun 19, 2006

The server is Windows Server 2003, IIS v6.0. The site is based on ASP VBScript. The database server is SQL 2000. I hope i covered all the basis!!!

You need to put a CDOSYS script in your page, the page that performs the
Insert, prefferably after the Insert has completed. You can incorporate the
new users credentials into the email script by using Request.Form or
Request.Querystring to get the information the user enered on the previous
page. This way you will be emailed whenever a new user is entered into the
DB.

Do a Google for 'CDOSYS'. You will find lots of information on how to use it
and what it can do.

At the same time, I would create a page that allows you to manipulate user permissions, that way you can make the changes on line, instead of directly interacting with the DB.
