Is there an event for customer account registration in Magento?

Question

I would like to be able to run some functionality with a module that I am building whenever a customer registers an account, but I can't seem to find any events that are fired upon a new customer registration. Does anybody know of an event that is dispatched for that?

Answer 1

Whenever I'm looking for an event, I'll temporarily edit the Mage.php file to output all the events for a particular request.

File: app/Mage.php
public static function dispatchEvent($name, array $data = array())
{
    Mage::log('Event: ' . $name); //not using Mage::log, as 
    //file_put_contents('/tmp/test.log','Dispatching '. $name. "\n",FILE_APPEND); //poor man's log
    Varien_Profiler::start('DISPATCH EVENT:'.$name);
    $result = self::app()->dispatchEvent($name, $data);
    #$result = self::registry('events')->dispatch($name, $data);
    Varien_Profiler::stop('DISPATCH EVENT:'.$name);
    return $result;
}

and then perform whatever action it is I'm trying to hook into. Magento events are logically named, so scanning/sorting through the resulting logs usually reveals what I'm after.

Answer 2

event name：customer_registration_is_allowed

I'm not sure if this is you want,you can write a observer to test

Answer 3

The answer to this question is that there isn't an event for that.

Answer 4

I've discovered that the customer_login and customer_session_init events are both thrown on account create. You could register a listener for either and then check to see the create date on the account?

Answer 5

You can try customer_save_after, the only thing that the registration sends this event twice

Answer 6

I'm sure this is way too late for your original need, but I'm pleased to report that I discovered how to achieve this today for another client request. It involves using one of the generic controller events. This node in the config.xml will hook into the right event:

<events>
 ....
  <controller_action_postdispatch_customer_account_createPost>
    <observers>
     <your_module_here>...etc

The controller_action_postdispatch_REQUESTPATH event is thrown for every controller that extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action (which is basically all of them) which makes it very easy to target. Ditto for controller_action_predispatch_REQUESTPATH.
