  • Change New User Registration email message??

    Posted 15 years 4 months ago
    • Does anyone know how to change the message that gets sent to a user when they register at a joomla website? I'd like to send something with instructions on posting "reviews" to the site, and other helpful tips, etc. Probably doesn't matter, but I'm using the Hyperion template. I'm pretty sure this is a "general" question. Thanks!!

    • This is a language file issue so the directory may be different if you're using a different language than english.

      The file is /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_user.ini and lines 115 and 116:
      SEND_MSG=Hello %s,\n\nThank you for registering at %s.\n\nYou may now log in to %s using the username and password you registered with.
 
SEND_MSG_ACTIVATE=Hello %s,\n\nThank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.\nTo activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:\n%s\n\nAfter activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:\n\nUsername: %s\nPassword: %s

      Be mindful of the code symbols in the text that refer to dynamically generated content. Where you see "Hello %s,\n\n", that is really "Hello USERNAME" placing the username of that particular user in it's place. In general, simple HTML code is alright here, but do test before using it in a production environment!

    • I think you want to edit this language file to achieve this.

      /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_user.ini on line 115:
      SEND_MSG=Hello %s,\n\nThank you for registering at %s.\n\nYou may now log in to %s using the username and password you registered with.

      This language file has all the other text for various emails sent out to the user as well.

    • I have made changes to the line SEND_MSG_ACTIVATE but when I test it out, the original message still sends. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    • Double check that you're using the correct language file and also make sure you've cleared cache within the Joomla system.

      Also, this is an older post and applies to Joomla 1.5, so if you're using Joomla 1.7 you could have a different set up.
