Send e-mail on approval for 5.x version

Maria,

If you can wait, 6-type actions integration will be backported to 5 within the next 6 weeks.
Maybe sooner than later....

If you can't wait:
apply_for_role_hook_info()
apply_for_role_action_info_alter()
apply_for_role_apply_for_role()

(Am I forgetting anything?)

Remember that it's:
if (!module_exists('actions'))
[NOT if (!module_exists('trigger'))]

...so it won't be a dependency.

See the handbook page on Drupal 6.x actions for more information about Drupal 6 actions.

Best,
Soren

Right!

In 6, in apply_for_role.token.inc.

Good luck!

Night,
Soren

Look at apply_for_role_add_apply in 6.

You'll see:

      $apply = (object) array('uid' => $uid, 'rid' => $rid, 'approved' => 0, 'apply_date' => time());
      drupal_write_record('users_roles_apply', $apply);

      module_invoke_all('apply_for_role', 'apply', $apply);

module_invoke_all() is the important bit.

I hope that helps.

NOTE:
drupal_write_record in 6 is replacing the INSERT in 5. There's no durpal_write_record in 5.

I did something like this in Workflow-NG , make sure you fill in the appropriate fields. Import this code into your Workflow-NG.

array (
  'cfg_3' => 
  array (
    '#type' => 'configuration',
    '#label' => 'Account Turned Active',
    '#event' => 'user_update',
    '#weight' => '0',
    '#id' => 1,
    '#module' => 'workflow-ng',
    '#active' => 1,
    '#altered' => false,
    0 => 
    array (
      '#type' => 'condition',
      '#name' => 'workflow_ng_condition_custom_php',
      '#id' => 2,
      '#settings' => 
      array (
        'php' => 'return ($account_unchanged->status == 0) && ($account->status == 1);',
        'used_arguments' => 
        array (
        ),
        'used_php_arguments' => 
        array (
          0 => 'account',
          1 => 'account_unchanged',
        ),
      ),
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      '#label' => 'Send a mail to an arbitrary mail address',
      '#id' => 3,
      '#name' => 'workflow_ng_action_mail',
      '#type' => 'action',
      '#settings' => 
      array (
        'to' => '[account:mail],youremail@email.com',
        'to_args' => 
        array (
          0 => 'account',
        ),
        'from' => 'youremail@email.com',
        'from_args' => 
        array (
        ),
        'subject' => 'Your Account for the Website has been Activated!',
        'subject_args' => 
        array (
        ),
        'message' => 'Dear [account:user],

Your account has been activated for the Website.  You can login using the information that was previously emailed to you by the system.  You can modify your account information at any time by clicking [account_unchanged:site-url][account:account-edit].

        'message_args' => 
        array (
          0 => 'account',
          1 => 'account_unchanged',
        ),
      ),
    ),
    '#name' => 'cfg_3',
  ),
)

If Prodigy's solution doesn't work for you, a new 5 -dev has been committed and will be available for download within the next 12 hours. It's backport of 6.x-1.7 with support for 6 style Actions. It won't get you 100% of the way there, but it should shorten the trip. You'll probably want to wrap a custom email action in a module, maybe using the "Actions token email" module as a guide or skeleton.

Maria,

Great! Glad you got it sorted out.

Let me know if you run into any bugs in the 5 -dev.
I'll try to get a new release out before too long.

Anyway, marking this as fixed.

Thanks,
Soren

FYI, #6 workflow_ng will not work as user_update is not fired in apply_for_role module.
See my patch in #333770: Missing proper user update, after_update event for workflow_ng to work properly.
