Extra info in welcome email

[Anna]

How do I write some extra text into the welcome email that are sent out? I especially want to send out a link to a pdf-document with a handbook of how to do the most of the list to new members.

FYI, I have found the php-document for the welcome mail, just do not know the code to show the text.

join_email.html , just paste the link and text there

 

[Anna]

Nope, if it was that easy I would not have to ask here! No matter wher I paste the link it does not show in my confirmation mail. I also tried changing join_existing_email.html with the same lack of result.

 

[Basti]

Well, that is the file.
Wrong skin edited?
Edited the file before and maybe have it in the child folder of your skin? if so thats the one u need to edit

 

[Anna]

Nope and nope! With all the changes I wanting to do I have long planned to start using the child-theme but never got around to it and I only use one theme...
Will go ahead and try with my older list as well. Do you have a updated list you can try on? I would be feeling greatly relieved if someone could say: "Oooops, its not you - its a bug" . Although I am not that hopeful :-D

 

[Basti]

Well, what can i say. it always works -.-
could post here what you trying to put into the file? ( copy complete updated content ) Then ill try on our dev list

This is what I have written in my join_existing_email file. Very simple and straightforward since I could not be arsed to fix a second username just for testing:

Subject: {$lng->join_welcome}
{$lng->join_email_thanks}
 
{$lng->g_username}: {$owner}
{$lng->main_menu_user_cp}: {$list_url}/?a=user_cpl
 
 
Testing testing 1

looks like when a member adds a second site the join_email.html template is called instead of join_existing_email.html

will make sure this bug is fixed in 1.0, in the mean time you can edit join_email.html

I see above you said this doesn't work, strange. I have tested and confirmed this is indeed working

Did you tested with email_existing?

 

[Mark]

yup I was unable to get join_existing_email.html to work, when adding a second site via userCP join_email.html is what I received.

 

[Basti]

Quick fix for anyone interested.
sources/user_cp/join_existing.php find

$join_email = new skin('join_email');

change to

$join_email = new skin('join_existing_email');

Thanks!
