Customizing Registration Emails and New Account Messages

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to know if someone could point me in the right direction for modifying the Register New account details. Specifically, I need to know:

  1. How to modify the section that states: Create a New Account: This site requires confirmation of a valid email address to sign in after registering. An email message has been sent to the email address you provided. click the link in that email message to confirm your account. After confirmation, you will be allowed to sign in to the site
  2. How to customize the email that is sent to the client when it has been approved by the administrator.

I've been able to move pretty quickly through setting up my own mojoportal site and I want to do a proof of concept to my marketing team on a website but I need to show that the user process can be customized with what we need it to say.

Thanks in advance! Sorry if I put it in the wrong forum section...

Re: Customizing Registration Emails and New Account Messages

Hi, if you want to modify the registration agreement please read the documentation in http://www.mojoportal.com/creatingaregistrationagreement.aspx

For customize the email if your site is using en-US for the default culture setting (which it does by default unless you have forced it to use a different default culture), then the template file is located at /Data/MessageTemplates/en-US-RegisterConfirmEmailMessage.config

You could edit that file and add additional text but then you will need to keep a backup copy and remember to restore it after each upgrade since the upgrade will overwrite that file.

Re: Customizing Registration Emails and New Account Messages

Thanks for the reply. I'll edit the template re: the email.

However, I've already created and customized my own registration agreement and that's great for notifying the client what we will do with their information before registering. However, what I'm looking for is after a client has submitted their details, that same page tells the client that an email has already been sent with a link to confirm the account.

Because we want to verify all users, it may take 1 - 2 business days to register the account. Because of this, I want to make sure that the client understands any delays.

I did some research and I think that text can be found in WebRoot\App_GlobalResources\Resource.resx

Unfortunately, this means that I'll have to remember to change this if I do a future upgrade but I did want to reply in case someone else was looking for the answer.
