customize registration page for confirmation

  1. HI,

    I'm using User Registration Add-On v1.5 BETA 1 and I need to change the text when a user click on the confirmation link into the email:

    "Your account is now active!
    Your account has been activated. You may now log in to the site using your chosen username of “[...]”. Please check your email inbox at [...] for your password and login instructions. If you do not receive an email, please check your junk or spam folder. If you still do not receive an email within an hour, you can reset your password."

    How can I do ?

    It's also possibile to customize the email for opt-in that contain this link:

    "http://[....]?page=gf_activation&key=[....]

    Thanks in advance.

    Best Regards,
    D.

  2. The first message is created by WordPress. You can find the text in the WordPress file wp-activate.php. I did not have much success finding a WordPress function to override or filter. The closest I found was for multi-site, wpmu_signup_user_notification.

    http://codex.wordpress.org/WPMU_Functions/wpmu_signup_user_notification

    There is an older plugin which allowed you to do this, but it has not been updated in several years: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-email-set-up/

    Since the text is coming from WordPress, you will need to find a function or filter to affect the text that WordPress is sending.

    Regarding your second question, can you paste more of the email so I can see in context where that text is coming from? I don't see "gf_activation" in any of the plugin files, but maybe we're using different versions or that is not the exact text.

  3. I'm running the same version as above and my activation email does read:

    "Thanks for registering! To complete the activation of your account please click the following link:

    http://www.mysite.com?page=gf_activation&key=888459ecd3f29515"

  5. I've asked the developement team for their feedback on this one.

  6. It looks like you are using BuddyPress? It appears to be the default BuddyPress message. In the user registration add-on, we use the wpmu_signup_user_notification_email and if BuddyPress is active, the bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification_message. We only change the activation URL to be the Gravity Forms URL. The message is unchanged, but it looks like you could use those filters to change the message, just be sure to call our modify_signup_user_notification_message to ensure the correct activation URL is output.

    I hope that's enough information to point you in the right direction.
