Where do I edit email text.

Post by walnut »

The system sends out emails when you set up a new member or have a newsletter subscription. I want to change the text of these emails. Where is the text for these emails located?

Do you mean "include/inc_lang/formmailer/EN_formmailer.success.html" ??

Code: Select all

<span class="head"><strong>Thank you!</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>Every needed field in form was filled in.</strong><br />
You will get a confirmation message if you have given a valid e-mail address.
If you have technical
problems please contact the webmaster of this site.<br />

I am looking for the actual text in the email that is sent to the person that subscribes to a newsletter or is set up as a user. They are different. The include file you mention is the returned html for the form.

That is easy to edit, but the text of the email is generated someplace else and I am trying to figure out where so that I can edit it.

What is some of the text that you want to change? Functionality for operations like this is spread throughout files in the script. :wink:

I think I found the file. include/inc_lang/backend/en/lang.inc.php

Thanks for your earlier tip as it helped me find where to look.
