How to customize new user confirmation email?
I'm a big fan of the administrator-mediated Hubzero user registration. But I'd like to customize the user confirmation email to include links to resources and documentation, and information about the administrator account approval process.
While email customization is mentioned in the v2.0 documentation (https://hubzero.org/documentation/2.0.0/managers/users.registration), I cannot seem to find where to do it in the backend interface. Can somebody give me a quick tip?
Thanks much!!

Hi Jeanette, I believe what you're looking for is a view override.
If you're using HUBzero 2.0.0, you'll want to add the view override to your /app/templates/<template_name>/html/com_members/emails directory. There are potentially two files you'll need to create 1) The plain-text email (confirm.php) and the HTML version (confirm_html.php).
What I normally do when creating view overrides is to copy the original files located in core/components/com_members/site/views/emails/tmpl to the /app/templates/<template_name>/html/com_members/emails/ and make the appropriate tweaks.
More information on view overrides is located in our manual here: https://hubzero.org/documentation/2.0.0/webdevs/templates.overrides
