Its Possible to edit Registration Message on SMF site and Email?

example:

if i can add more text message on this area (Thank you for registering. You will receive an email soon with a link to activate your account. If you don't receive an email after some time, check your spam folder.)

thanks you so much

Text can be found in the 'language' files. You'll find a bunch of them in {forum}\Themes\default\languages directory.

It can help to use a utility to search for the exact text being used in order to find where it's set. Doing so gets you to the file Login.english.php and the line:

Code Select Expand

$txt['activate_after_registration'] = 'Thank you for registering. You will receive an email soon with a link to activate your account.  If you don\'t receive an email after some time, check your spam folder.';

Be VERY careful about editing, though. You MUST escape every apostrophe within the text string (preceded it with a backslash '\') or you could cause a real problem.

thanks for quick reply can you help me again

i would to put my message under this message  (Thank for your registration ) can you me w/ a little code

[excaliburj]

Sure.

You can cause a line break by including the standard html '<br />'. What else do you want the message to say on a new line?

$txt['activate_after_registration'] = 'Thank you for registering. You will receive an email soon with a link to activate your account.  If you don\'t receive an email after some time, check your spam folder <br /> If you still cannot see the contain of the forum please click <a href="hxxp:deltapiomega.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1 [nonactive]" target="_blank">Site Administrator!</a> .';

I think it depends if your custom template has made its own copies of the language file.  If it has, or you are not using English, then it will be looking in the custom theme directory rather than the default

[excaliburj]

Nothing jumps out as being wrong.

As noted, with another theme, you would need to check if there's a Login.english.php file in the {forum}\Themes\{your-theme}\languages directory. If there is, you need to change this line in THAT file.

If there is none, then it may be a matter of clearing the forum cache (ACP -> Maintenance -> Forum Maintenance -> Routine ; then run the task for 'Empty the file cache' down at the bottom).

how to customize a forum page?

example: Help Button if i click it, it show automatically the content 

not to see the list of topics, just 1 click to the whole content

It appears to be, but there's no substitute for testing it out. If you're going to run a forum and especially if you are going to customize it some, it can be helpful for you to have a test account with regular user privileges/permissions in order to see what they see (instead of what someone with Admin rights sees). So, you might want to make up an account and check that the new message appears. You can always delete any extra accounts if you don't want to use it.

If you want custom version or whole extra pages, I would look into one of several mods for creating custom pages or doing custom actions. And instead of trying to change what the Help action does, I would use the mod to make a new action which does what you want and then suppress the display of the 'Help' button.

While I haven't actually replaced functionality in this way myself, I do use the Custom Action mod to generate additional pages with their own tabs/entries in the top menu strip.
