Adding custom variables to activation e-mail

[merc123]

Hello!  I'm trying to add custom variables to the activation e-mail based on 'id_member'.  I made the changes but in the e-mail it shows {MEMBERID} instead of 231.

I modified ..\Sources\Register.php to add 'MEMBERID' => $row['id_member']

if (!empty($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'resend' && ($row['is_activated'] == 0 || $row['is_activated'] == 2) && (!isset($_REQUEST['code']) || $_REQUEST['code'] == ''))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Post.php');

$replacements = array(
'REALNAME' => $row['real_name'],
'USERNAME' => $row['member_name'],
'MEMBERID' => $row['id_member'], 
'ACTIVATIONLINK' => $scripturl . '?action=activate;u=' . $row['id_member'] . ';code=' . $row['validation_code'],
'ACTIVATIONLINKWITHOUTCODE' => $scripturl . '?action=activate;u=' . $row['id_member'],
'ACTIVATIONCODE' => $row['validation_code'],
'FORGOTPASSWORDLINK' => $scripturl . '?action=reminder',
);

$emaildata = loadEmailTemplate('resend_activate_message', $replacements, empty($row['lngfile']) || empty($modSettings['userLanguage']) ? $language : $row['lngfile']);


I also added it to the ..\Themese\default\languages\EmailTemplates.english.php area

You've added it to the wrong one. You've added MEMBERID to the code that loads the resend_activate_message template but added {MEMBERID} tothe register_activate template...

Have you looked at Email Template Editor?

Sorry, also included it in that one as well and still doesn't work.

I did but did not see where it allows you to add custom variables like what I'm looking to do.  I'll download it and check it out anyway though.

[Matthew K.]

Yeah, you're right. That is definitely something I should add.

[Arantor]

Of course it doesn't work... you're not looking at that email!

You need to add it where the register_activate template is set up instead...

Which is where?  I don't see it in the Register.php file....

[Arantor]

For register_activate, Subs-Members.php around line 859.

For register_activate, Subs-Members.php around line 859.

Just found it after opening all the php files in the sources dir and doing a find on all open files...  Was going to ask if that was the correct location.  Beat me to it.  That fixed it.  Thanks.
