Remove password from registration emails?

[Force Flow]

I just installed SMF 1.1.9 and was wondering how I could prevent the password from being sent in registration emails?  I'm not comfortable with sending that out in plain text to users, as I was never comfortable seeing that when registering on other forums.

Hello Force Flow, and welcome to SMF!

Edit the following file.

/Themes/default/languages/Login.english.php

Code (find) Select Expand

$txt['register_immediate_message'] = 'You are now registered with an account at ' . $context['forum_name'] . ', %1$s! Your account's username is %2$s and its password is %3$s. You may change your password after you login by going to your profile, or by visiting this page after you login:' . "\n\n" . $scripturl . '?action=profile' . "\n\n" . $txt[130];

Code (replace with) Select Expand

$txt['register_immediate_message'] = 'You are now registered with an account at ' . $context['forum_name'] . ', %1$s! Your account's username is %2$s. You may change your password after you login by going to your profile, or by visiting this page after you login:' . "\n\n" . $scripturl . '?action=profile' . "\n\n" . $txt[130];

Code (find) Select Expand

$txt['register_activate_message'] = 'You are now registered with an account at ' . $context['forum_name'] . ', %1$s!' . "\n\n" . 'Your account's username is %2$s and its password is %3$s (which can be changed later.)' . "\n\n" . 'Before you can login, you first need to activate your account. To do so, please follow this link:' . "\n\n" . '%5$s' . "\n\n" . 'Should you have any problems with activation, please use the code "%4$s".' . "\n\n" . $txt[130];

Code (replace with) Select Expand

$txt['register_activate_message'] = 'You are now registered with an account at ' . $context['forum_name'] . ', %1$s!' . "\n\n" . 'Your account's username is %2$s (which can be changed later.)' . "\n\n" . 'Before you can login, you first need to activate your account. To do so, please follow this link:' . "\n\n" . '%5$s' . "\n\n" .

Code (find) Select Expand

$txt['register_pending_message'] = 'Your registration request at ' . $context['forum_name'] . ' has been received, %1$s.' . "\n\n" . 'The username you registered with was %2$s and the password was %3$s.' . "\n\n" . '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.' . "\n\n" . $txt[130];

Great! Thanks!

Things look quite different in SMF 2, the password field is no longer available as a %3$s string... you can change the text around the password, but not remove it.

Anyone know how to do that?


Thanks
Mike

Are you using another theme? If so, check that theme's folder for a Login.english.php.

I am using the default theme

I found the solution:
you also have to edit /Themes/default/languages/Login.english-utf8.php as well (or perhaps instead of?)
