Add New Author email

I want to modify the url in the Welcome email that gets sent when a new Author is added to the textpattern site. Is this possible and if so, where do I look to modify this setting ?

The url that gets sent appears to be fixed in the Textpattern code.

If you want to change that you’ll need to edit your textpattern files — possible but you’ll encounter difficulties when you upgrade. If you do want to go down that route, look at the file textpattern/include/txp_admin.php in the routine called send_new_password() from lines 259-272 (that’s in version 4.0.5 of Textpattern.)

The strings that get sent in the message can be changed quite easily however.

Use a mysql editor to change the values of these strings in the txp_lang table of your database…

'greeting'
'your_password_is'
'log_in_at'
'your_new_password'
