How Can I edit the welcome email message?

[SteveFJ]

Hello,
first of all I hope everyone is having a great Christmas.

I would like to know how I can edit the message that is sent as a welcome to new members.

Thanks very much.

EmailTemplates.english.php, in the default theme's "languages" directory.

Code Select Expand

$txt['emails'] = array(
'resend_activate_message' => array(
/*
@additional_params: resend_activate_message
REALNAME: The display name for the member receiving the email.
USERNAME: The user name for the member receiving the email.
ACTIVATIONLINK: The url link to activate the member's account.
ACTIVATIONCODE: The code needed to activate the member's account.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'Welcome to {FORUMNAME}',
'body' => 'You are now registered with an account at {FORUMNAME}, {REALNAME}!

Your username is "{USERNAME}".

Before you can login, you first need to activate your account. To do so, please follow this link:

{ACTIVATIONLINK}

etc.

Hi there !

I would like to reset the message in Romanian language, but I can't see any EmailTemplates.SAMPLE_Language.php in the forum/themes/defaul/languages. What can I do ?

download the language files for your language, and next time please use a separate topic for each issue.

[Perspective]

Well.. I've said there's no need to start a new one.. if it is related to the same problem. Basically.. I need to edit the welcome message.. so the topic fits perfectly here.
Anyways.. thanks !

LATER EDIT:

Well.. it seems there NO EmailTemplates.romanian.php or EmailTemplates.english.php in the Romanian .zip Package.

[Illori]

open up the emailtemplates.english.php file that should be in your install by default, rename it for your language, and translate the strings. You may want to contact some of the smf staff and ask if they want the translation to be included in future releases.

The idea is ... there is NO emailtemplates.english.php in the php installation .zip or folder.

If you personally find it.. share it with me.

There is in mine... in Themes/default/languages for 2.0... are you using 2.0?

Nop, I'm using 1.1.12 version of SMF. Could I take that one from 2 and paste it in my install folder ?

Nope. You're trying to follow the advice for a totally different version of software...

What you should do is start a new topic in the correct board, specifically the SMF 1.x Support board...
