Hey all,

People on the site I'm managing don't seem to read the e-mails and understand they need to activate their accounts by clicking the link... so, I want to explain this better on the Register page. Where is the best place to add a header or footer to the register.php file?

Also, when a user clicks on a link to an area of the site they don't have access to, where do I change the "Sorry, you don't have permission..." page?

Many thanks!

Alex.

I'm going to assume you are using 2.0.X and not 2.2 because I can't answer that as it's changed quite a bit.

I must admit that the standard web page message after you register, which is:

really isn't that confusing, especially as common a technique as it is on the web. However, you can change this message in the rootpath/language/english/user.php file. Look for the _US_YOURREGISTERED definition.

Easiest place to add info on the registration page would be to add something to the registration form as display only. This page doesn't use the usual smarty templates $xoopsTpl type of displaying. Find it at rootpath/include/registerform.php, but you'll need to learn about XOOPS forms and the likes, and this is a core file hack.

As for the No Permission, that's being called from the same user.php file. Look for the define of _US_NOPERMISS and change the message in there.

Finally, a more descriptive subject title is in order instead of "How can I....". Maybe something like "Add Header to Registration Page" or the likes. And tell people which version you are working on as each version has some changes.

In 2.2, there are templates for that which makes it easier to edit.

Which version are you using?
