How do I make the registration verification email send all user details?

Question

The website requires administrator approval of users but I need the email to the admin to contain not just the name and email address of the new user but also all the other details in the login form.

I have this registration form and it looks like this:

How do I make the auto-email send all these details? Where do I look?

Thanks.

You must edit file /components/com_user/models/registration.php line 549

$emailBodyAdmin = JText::sprintf(
    'COM_USERS_EMAIL_REGISTERED_NOTIFICATION_TO_ADMIN_BODY',
    $data['name'],
    $data['username'],
    $data['siteurl']
);

The template is on /languages/your-language/your-language.com_users.ini (ex: /languages/en-GB/en-GB.com_users.ini) seek for COM_USERS_EMAIL_REGISTERED_NOTIFICATION_TO_ADMIN_BODY define

COM_USERS_EMAIL_REGISTERED_NOTIFICATION_TO_ADMIN_BODY="Hello administrator, \n\nA new user '%s', username '%s', has registered at %s."

first $s is $data['name'], second $s is $data['username'], etc.

So, if you want to add password:

$emailBodyAdmin = JText::sprintf(
    'COM_USERS_EMAIL_REGISTERED_NOTIFICATION_TO_ADMIN_BODY',
    $data['name'],
    $data['username'],
    $data['siteurl'],
    $data['password_clear']
}

Then

COM_USERS_EMAIL_REGISTERED_NOTIFICATION_TO_ADMIN_BODY="Hello administrator, \n\nA new user '%s', username '%s', has registered at %s with password:%s."

You can also add all $data contents

foreach($data as $key=>$value) {
    $emailBodyAdmin .= $key." = ".$value."\n";
}

Or write custom $emailBodyAdmin field by field.
