Welcome email

[landyvlad]

I've set it to send a welcome email to new forum members but where do I check / change the content of that email?

[Shades.]

It is most likely somewhere in Themes>default>languages>EmailTemplates.english.php but not sure where in that file.

[landyvlad]

So not in the GIO anywhere then?

[Kindred]

There is a mod that adds an editor for emails,  but I don't think we put it into core

[landyvlad]

Kindred I could only find this very old one https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=2926
and have no idea if it would be compatible with 2.1 but I'd have my doubts...

Am I missing a better one somewhere?

[Kindred]

nope -- that will not work in 2.1

just checked.

The core changes are easy enough to address...   
but the actual email template editor files won't work in 2.1 (or with php 7.4) without some further adjusting.
(2.1 changed the references for email templates)

Mountain out of molehill.

They're in EmailTemplates.english.php, just be careful with the bracketed parameters.

[landyvlad]

by which i assume you mean - don't add or remove brackets or bad things will happen

Too bad. This was a good "mod" for non technical forum owners.

You don't need a mod for this in SMF 2.1. Just go to Administration Centre > Languages > Edit Languages, click the Edit button next to the language you want to work with, and then choose Email Templates in the Edit Language Entries select menu.
