Edit new user email

I’d like to edit the new user email generated by Textpattern to include additional information. Where do I need to make these edits?

Thanks,

Jim

Re: Edit new user email

What additional information? Editing the email address itself is done under Admin>Users.

There is rss_author_info for other details about an author.

Re: Edit new user email

Thanks. I want to instruct users to change the password and use at least 10 characters and include letters and numbers.

I looked at the /txplib_admin.php but wasn’t sure just where to make the change. Looked like line 20~ might be the place?

Re: Edit new user email

Yes you could write in those instructions around line 20 (where you want in relationship to the other stuff that is going into he email). That first block of code builds the email message.

You also need to look at the language file in /textpattern/lang/ becuase text_that_is_defined_this_way in the txplib_admin.php file pulls the actual text you see in the email from the language file.

Re: Edit new user email

Maybe mem_self_register can help?

“Configurable email message that is sent to users upon successful creation of account. Admin will also receive a copy of this email.”

I’d go with Matt’s idea on this. I didn’t know that plugin could do that.

I did find that entry in the language file after my post.
