Hello,
I recently sent an "email based self-registration" email to myself to check the functionality, language used, formatting, etc. Please see attachment for this file.
Where should I go within Totara to edit the language of the email, the subject line and the formatting. Are there any other locations I need to go to change the email notifications?
Thanks,
Ian
Hi Ian
The text of the confirmation message can be edited through language customisation as explained here
If you search for the string you should find the authentication confirmation one under requestapprovedbody - this contains placeholders for fields (don't change the paceholders)
You might also want to look at the self-registration with approval that gives a few more options such as automatic approval using a whitelist of acceptable email domains and selection of hierarchy items.
Regards
Hello,
I've attempted to locate the string associated with this email language but have had no luck. Within the language customization screen would you be able to tell me where this string is located. Specifically, for the box that states "Shows strings of these components". Could you tell me what string its located within or what core component to look through. Thank you for the assistance.
Ian
Hi Ian
The string is located in the auth_approved component
If you highlight all components and Filter by the String identifier requestapprovedbody or using 'Only strings containing' and add the text then this should locate the strings you want to change.
Regards
Sorry the string is in the core component - the one i found was similar but not the same.
Hi Ian,
Component: Core, String: newusernewpasswordtext
When Im in a bit of a hurry I just highlight all the components!
cheers,
George.
Thank you George, I was able to immediately find the string, very helpful. One additional quick question. How can I change the subject of this email that gets sent to new users?
Currently, the subject for this email is _totara: New user account
Ian
Hi Ian,
Component: core.
String: newusernewpasswordsubj
cheers!
George.
Thank you George!
Hi George,
I accessed the new string that you provided to me to address the Subject line for the email
I was able to change the "New user account" verbiage for this subject. But the " _totara:" language still remains.
How can I remove the " _totara:"?
Thanks,
Ian
Hi Ian,
I think that's the site name, set here: Home/Front page settings/settings
cheers,
George.
Thank you George! You've been extremely helpful. I'm sorry to bug you again but I have one more question regarding the
Component: Core, String: newusernewpasswordtext
Is there a way to incorporate a hyperlink into this string?
Thanks,
Ian
Hi Ian,
Using HTML to insert a link will work.
cheers,
George.
Thank you again George! I was able to find some online documentation on what string to use and was able to knock this out. I greatly appreciate your assistance throughout this entire thread. Have a great day! Ian
