Thats not hard to do since all necessary info exist already, you need just to put it into the email. You have already $password (thats obviously the customers password) and $email_address (customers email)

 

1) open file catalog/create_account.php

 

I would put the additional info it in that way into $email_text

 

$email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_TEXT_LOGIN . ' ' . $email_address . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_PASSWORD . ' ' . $password . "\r\n\n" . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT . EMAIL_WARNING;

 

 

 

If you have made the changes to receive an email too when the customer register (as described here) and you want to receive customers password too then you change the $owners_text as follows

 

$owners_text = EMAIL_TEXT_OWNER_INFO . "\r\n\n" .EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_NAME . ' ' . $name . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_EMAIL . ' ' . $email_address . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_PHONE . ' ' . $telephone . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_ADDRESS . ' ' . $street_address . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_CITY . ' ' . $city . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_STATE . ' ' . $state . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_CUSTOMER_COUNTRY . ' ' . $country . "\r\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_PASSWORD . ' ' . $password;

 

 

 

2) Open file catalog/includes/languages/yourlanguage/create account.php

 

Add 2 more language definitions as follows

 

define('EMAIL_TEXT_LOGIN', 'Your username is:');

define('EMAIL_TEXT_PASSWORD', 'Your password is:');

 

 

 

Not to mention to do a backup of your files BEFORE you start to do any changes

We have numerous customers that incorrectly enter their e-mail address when creating an account. We know this because the welcome e-mail will bounce back to us.

 

What happens if the typo is actually another persons valid e-mail. You have just sent the login and password to the wrong person? This would be rare indeed, but not something I want to happen.
