Hi,

Can someone point in the right direction here? I want to edit / modify the welcome email that is sent to new users when they registered. I already figured out how to change the logo in that email, but I also want to modify some of the content. How / where can I do that?

Thanks,
Colt
Let me clarify this a little.

I figured out you can follow this path components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/emails/html/registration and edit some of the emails.

Once you open up one of the files, you will see it lists things like "COM_EASYSOCIAL_EMAILS_UPDATE_YOUR_PROFILE". To edit that piece of the email, you need to go to the language file (which is at this path: /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easysocial.ini).

So, here are my outstanding questions.

1. I want to change where the links are sending users. For example, the email currently says "So, what's next? Update Your Profile" and then there is a link to update their profile. I want to change this to say something else and direct users to a different location on the site. I know how to change the text, but how can I change where it sends users from that link?

2. My other question has to do with after a user registers. I currently have the registration profile set to Normal Registration (Automatic Login). Right now, after a person registers, it takes them to their profile page. I would like to change this location. I want to direct the user to a specific part of the site (not their profile page). Can someone tell me how / where I can do this?

Thanks for your help!

Colt

Hi,

1. The link is generated in the core system files of EasySocial and I wouldn't suggest you to modify that. What you wan do here is to directly modify the email template to point to the link that you want.

2. This is in Settings -> Users -> Login Redirection.
