changing login address on activation email

Permalink
Hi

I am using a login block on my site where members log in - there is also an option to register there.

All is working well, but when the admin manually activates the new accounts the user is sent an email telling them their account has been activated and giving a link to the normal login page - in my case its as below. Is there any way I can change the link so it points to the page where the login block is situated - iehttp://www.accringtongolfclub.com/index.php/member-login/...

I have searched through the site and cant find where i can alter this.. any help as always would be appreciated..

Ian

Hello,
It's actually a little more complicated than it seems.
What happens is that the link included in the email contains a piece of data that is required to indentify the user and validate his registration. When he clicks on the link he is taken to the login page where a function is called and the user validated.

You would need to do 2 things:
1-Modify the email message generated with the link
2-Include the validating function in your page's controller.

For first one you need an override.

The email can be found in ROOT/concrete/mail/validate_user_email.php

you need to modify the line
View::url('/login', 'v', $uHash)

to use your page url. Modify only the '/login' page.

Then you need to add the following code to your page's controller
// responsible for validating a user's email address
   public function v($hash = '') {
      $ui = UserInfo::getByValidationHash($hash);
      if (is_object($ui)) {
         $ui->markValidated();
         $this->set('uEmail', $ui->getUserEmail());
         $this->set('validated', true);
      }
   }
