How To Make Simple Validating Message On IP. Board

[f3rryp3ll0]

Sometimes, new members (especially those new to forums) may not always
be aware they need to validate their account. I used to have a simple
message back on 2.x.x to help them and have now done something similar
for IP.Board 3.



It's a very simple skin edit to create a box with a reminder message in it.



Follow the tutorial below :
 

• [*]ACP  [*]Look / Feel  [*]Manage Skin Sets / Templates  [*]Choose
  skin [*]Manage Templates / CSS [*]Global Templates  [*]GlobalTemplate 

 

 Scroll down about 3/4 of the way down that template and find:

 

        {$html}       

Add this above, after the closing div on a new line:

Thank you for registering!As part of the registration process, we require you to validate your email address. You will need to do this before you can post.Please check your inbox for your validation email from us and click the link provided in it. If you did not receive this, please lang->words['resend_val']}'>Click Here to resend it.

Save the template.

This is the simple message all validating members will now see, along
with the extra link to click for a new email if required. You can easily
customise the message (for example by allowing validating members to
post in a certain forum) as required.
