CaptJeff Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 Please forgive my TOTAL ignorance. It seems every time I start to understand this they change it all. When I create a new member for my site the site sends them an email. It says something like this. How do I change this? I went to the section where it has the emails that are sent out for different things. Customization>Appearance>emails. There are two pages of them! I do not know which one is the one the system sends out when an administrator creates a new member. So I clicked on the one that says. And I get this. I do not know what this code means. I think it has something to do with the appearance of the email being send but I do not see the actual text that appears in the mail anywhere in this code. Since I do not write code I can only guess what this does. What I want to do is have a custom email sent out just like when someone purchases a membership in the store. I have custom emails configured in the store when someone purchases a membership but how can I get that same email sent or at least the same content sent when I as the admin create a membership for someone. Please remember. I am not a developer and do not write code. I am a cut and paste hacker. My profession my entire life has been a commercial pilot. I am not a dummy but I am NOT a developer. Any Advice, Hints, Help or Guidance is appreciated. Capt. Jeff A Thompson. HotAirBalloonist.com PS. NO I am not using 4.5 or above. I tried that on one of my sites and it took me 9 days to get it back up and working. I do not posses the skills to make all the changes or fixes to make my sites work with the 4.5 update.
Morrigan Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Last I checked they haven't changed emails in a long time. However, the code is HTML with some IPS logic in it so that it sends/doesn't send things based on it. I do BELIEVE that you need to actually edit the language files for verbiage changes because of things like this: Its going to look at the language for the member for that language string. So for the above that first line in the language key: email_admin_reg When I say files I mean Customization > Language > Translate Edited November 20, 2020 by Morrigan
