Just spent some time looking into this - there's actually a setting
ACCOUNTS_PROFILE_FORM_CLASS (
http://mezzanine.jupo.org/docs/configuration.html#accounts-profile-form-class)
which allows you to specify a custom form class for user profile
signup/update. You could override the save method of it and send an email
via that, something like (untested):
# settings.py
ACCOUNTS_PROFILE_FORM_CLASS = "myapp.forms.MyCustomProfileForm"
# myapp.forms.py
from mezzanine.account.forms import ProfileForm
class MyCustomProfileForm(ProfileForm):
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
user = super(MyCustomProfileForm, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
if self._signup:
# send email
return user
