Answer 1

customer_register_success

adminhtml_customer_save_after

these two are the default events when a customer is inserted into the database.... first event fires in frontend when a user registers and second event fires in the backend when a customer is created through admin panel...i hope you know how to register an observer for an event...hope this will help you...

Answer 2

customer_register_success is what you are looking for:

<config>
  <frontend>
    <events>
      <customer_register_success>
        <observers>
          <your_module>
            <type>singleton</type>
            <class>your_module/observer</class>
            <method>yourMethod</method>
          </your_module>
        </observers>
      </customer_register_success>
    </events>
  </frontend>
</config>

Answer 3

Actually there are customer_save_after and customer_save_before (magento 1.5)

If you want to modify on-the-fly some data after form post, pick customer_save_before, change the data you want and that's all (the save action come after, so your change will be taken into account).

$customer->save() just doesn't work in customer_save_after. (fatal error) Use this observer to run a code after customer creation which are NOT related to customer data.

Hope that helps!

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 have to consider also when the user register on-the-fly on checkout: a Register on chekout. Thinking on this case, you can catch the "checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after" event with your own Observer class, and then this code...

if($observer->getEvent()->getQuote()->getCheckoutMethod(true) == Mage_Sales_Model_Quote::CHECKOUT_METHOD_REGISTER){
    (...)
}

Anybody may say: Mage_Sales_Model_Quote->getCheckoutMethod() is deprecated since 1.4!!,but:
