Is it possible to use the return= parameter in order to send a notification email to a site administrator when a user updates their profile? How might this be done?

I apologize bluebloc, I’m not quite sure what you’re asking

The return parameter only controls which template the user redirects to once they finish editing their profile.
As for notifications to be sent to Admin’s when a profile is updated, this is currently not possible, though it is on the Feature Request list

I’m having some issues with the return parameter..

To my knowledge, it works like any other path, so it would be “template group/template”, however, based on what I’ve been trying on 1.6.3, it seems to append this on top of the template group where the form is placed.

So if I had a template group named “signup” and the index is used as the registration page, upon completion of the form, it would bring me to “sitename.com/index.php/signup/signup/welcome” rather than “sitename.com/index.php/signup/welcome”.

It seems that I’m the only one whose had this problem so far as I haven’t found much information about it. Was wondering if you guys had any ideas?

Hey mr_dimsum....are you using it like this:

return="signup/welcome"

or this:

return="{path=signup/welcome}"

I have found that the first one works best for me.

Using it as the first one, consistent to what was in the documentation.. So you are having some issues with it as well?

Nah...not having an issue, just wanted to know which one you are using.

Another question...in your site CP, what are the “Admin › System Preferences › General Configuration”...do you have a stray “signup” somewhere in there?  I am pretty sure that if you use:

return="signup/welcome"

It returns “URL to the root directory of your site” / “Name of your site’s index page” / “return value”

Nope.. That’s a good idea though.. I’ll have to play with this a bit more to figure out if there are any issues, but I can’t seem to figure this one out.. >.<

agun, thanks for the help

Mr Dimsum,

This is actually behaving correctly. For whatever reason I don’t quite understand, Mitchell decided he wanted the return parameter to work this way (he’s probably right though, haha).
You have two options here:

or this:

Let me know if those don’t work for you
