I need to edit the auto-responder email that is sent when a new person joins my site? Where do I get to that?

/modules/jrUser/templates or the templates tab of jrUser in the ACP

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Education, learning resources, TEL, AR/VR/MR, CC licensed content, panoramas, interactive narrative, sectional modules (like jrDocs), lunch at Uni of Bristol. Get in touch if you share my current interests or can suggest better :)

Which do I edit? Just curious why this is so difficult as well. An email is automatically sent out when a person signs up. Why is finding that email and editing it a mystery?

It isn't a mystery, look at the file names

When I want to find something, I take what i know "Thank you for signing up with" and copy+paste that into my IDE the contains all the files of the system.

phpstorm has ctrl+shift+f for search every file for ______________

I paste in "Thank you for signing up with" and it brings up all the possibilities.

For that particular phrase there is 1 file, so I know that is the file I need to over-ride or edit.

This would be good as module as it would be so much better to be able to overwrite the default template with your own details rather than have to stick with the default without breaking the site on updates
Just a thought

Can you not override the email templates in the same way as other templates?

I am thinking more of owners who are using a default skin and need to update at times.
I think it would work as a module ( eg no template overrides in the ACP ) then owners can create graphical html emails if they so desire without fear of having to check with any updates.
Unless I'm missing something?

Why are we adjusting Templates anyway? To me there's information and the template puts it where it needs to be. That's why it's called a TEMPLATE.

Templates are meant to be used over and over again (thus the name "template"). If you don't like what the template looks like, you of course need to change it.

You can modify the email templates to suit your needs in the ACP -> User Accounts -> Templates section. Updates to the user module will not overwrite your changes.

Hope this helps!

Thanks. I see where I was going wrong. I was going to Skins, not Modules to try and find the Email Template. Found it.

Let me see if I can clarify this question a little more because I'm not finding this Email Verbiage in any Email Template under Modules.

The site is gmeshowcase.info. (I inherited working with the client on this site. It's not mine. It's my introduction into jamrooom.)

When an artist signs up, they get this email:

"Thank you for signing up for a www.gmeshowcase.info account!

on the following link to activate your account:

If you have any questions, or have any issues validating your

We look forward to seeing you online!"

I would like to modify the text in this email. Where, specifically, can I do this?

- go to ACP as a master admin
- go to to Users and click on "User Accounts" in the left hand module menu
- click on the "Templates" tab a long the top
- click on the "Modify" button next to the "email_signup_message.tpl" entry

Modify to suit your needs.

Hope this helps!

You could do that with a signup_activated listener, I think. But the idea of owners being able to create graphical html emails without fear is a little bit terrifying. Email is very old fashioned, and 100% unforgiving with the html. And owners often don't have the first clue as to what they are doing, let alone why.

Html emails don't really bother me as I run Email campaigns everyday for my company ( day work ) and they are all graphical html.
But if you are unsure of what you're doing I definitely agree.
Took me years just to work out the spam point ratio and getting a nice balance to image ratio.
