FEU - edit email text and other template labels? [solved]

Post by sponna1 »

Hi,

We are successfully using the FEU module but our client has asked for the "forgotten password" email text to be edited. We've searched the site admin and also the forums to try to locate where this is configured but without success. Can anyone advise how to edit this email text please?

We also need to make a few changes to the text which appears on the login page e.g. "forgot password" to "forgotten password" etc. We can see where this is originating from in the FEU templates, but not how to change it. Is the standard text coming directly from the database please?

Thanks for your help,
Dave

Read this: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/customizi ... ge-strings

Not 100% sure if the text is in there but seems a good start.

Note the page describes how to customize without touching the original files. Obviously this is highly recommended because of future upgrades (and support).

There is a link in FEU, Templates, where you can find the tabs: Forgot Password Templates and Lost Username Template. There you will find the templates you want to edit.

When/if you edit the templates a lot of those text/labels aren't obvious as they are lang string and may look something like {$lang->forgotpass} or something along those lines where you can hard code the text you want instead of using the coded lang string...

Thank you - we realised this when testing earlier today but a very useful piece of information.
