I'd like to either change welcome letter to below sample or have forum send additional email with sample letter below. Looked every where and can't locate it. So I'm thinking this may be in a file on server which I would need help to config. The names below have been changed to protect the innocent, lol .... thank you in advance

OMG, how do I tell which one to edit? Members must have admin approval and there are so many choices.

Sir Osis of Liver

This is the first email the member receives -



'resend_pending_message' => array(
/*
@additional_params: resend_pending_message
REALNAME: The display name for the member receiving the email.
USERNAME:  The user name for the member receiving the email.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'Welcome to {FORUMNAME}',
'body' => 'Your registration request at {FORUMNAME} has been received, {REALNAME}.

The username you registered with was {USERNAME}.

Before you can login and start using the forum, your request will be reviewed and approved.  When this happens, you will receive another email from this address.

{REGARDS}',
),

That is a big help, thank you sir

Johnny B

well, I did something wrong as it won't email anything now. Putting original copy of file back up on server. I'm using Kani Theme, will that make a difference?

This is what I did below, looks same as yours with exception of my add on sentence. Wonder why it wouldn't send email out?

'resend_pending_message' => array(
/*
@additional_params: resend_pending_message
REALNAME: The display name for the member receiving the email.
USERNAME:  The user name for the member receiving the email.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'Welcome to {FORUMNAME}',
'body' => 'Your registration request at {FORUMNAME} has been received, {REALNAME}.

The username you registered with was {USERNAME}.

That looks right. Did you test it to make sure emails are working again?

Johnny B

i think the one you are looking for is this one.

'register_pending' => array(
/*
@additional_params: register_pending
REALNAME: The display name for the member receiving the email.
USERNAME: The user name for the member receiving the email.
PASSWORD: The password for the member.
FORGOTPASSWORDLINK: The url to the "forgot password" page.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'Welcome to {FORUMNAME}',
'body' => 'Your registration request at {FORUMNAME} has been received, {REALNAME}.

The username you registered with was {USERNAME}. If you forget your password, you can change it at {FORGOTPASSWORDLINK}.

Before you can login and start using the forum, your request will be reviewed and approved.  When this happens, you will receive another email from this address.
