Mail confirmation/receipt to individual when submit profile form

[peraf]

Hi,
I've been struggling so long to figure out how an Individual who submit a profile form to get some kind of confirmation on mail.  I was first thinking that this is probably a standard feature like in the other modules, but i couldn't find it.  After googleing for a while I found out that the only way is to user hooks.  My knowledge of this is unfortunately limited.

I would be very happy if someone could help me with a link or some basic code to implement to my Joomla site.

To be more specific, I want the Civicrm to send out a confirmation mail automatically, every time an individual creates or do any changes on the profile form.

Thanx for all help:-)

Hi Peraf,
I'm dealing with the same situation here. Have you been able to solve it?
Thanks, Diego

I don't think what you're describing is part of the standard profile code. Two options are:

1. With Drupal, some kind of Rules solution is what I'd think of. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any equivalent for Joomla, but hopefully I'm wrong.

2. A custom extension. Some kind of simple, generic, CiviCRM-native rules-like extension would be nice for cases like this, maybe someone has already written it.

would there be any scope for Scheduled Reminders to be extended to cover this requirement?

ie if a Scheduled reminder for '0 hours after' was set up for a selected 'profile' then an email could be triggered to the submittor assuming an email address field is on the form?

it would require a 'token' for 'the profile'
