Hi,

I've just tested the registration form on my site, for users to register themselves, but i've noticed that once they register and are given the link to login, it directs them to the wrong url. I've just renamed the /news/ folder but where/how do I change the url that the user is given, to the correct one?

Thanks for any help.

If you're using 3.3, edit newslangmsg.php, if using 3.4 edit modules/langmsg_english.php

Thanks!

However im having a problem. All I can find is this line;

Your account has been created, you can now <a href=\"{adminpath}\">login here</a>
Do I edit {adminpath} to the URL of the admin.php file?

You shouldn't really rename directories after the script has already been installed. To fix this however edit the admin.php file, towards the top you'll see this chunk of code

Code:


$scriptpath = DataAccess::fetch("SELECT scriptpath FROM $newsoptions WHERE 1");
if(!$scriptpath['0']['scriptpath']){
    $scriptpath = str_replace(basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),"",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $scriptpath= "http://" . $scriptpath;
    DataAccess::put("UPDATE $newsoptions SET scriptpath = ? WHERE 1",$scriptpath);
}

Change that to

Code:


$scriptpath = DataAccess::fetch("SELECT scriptpath FROM $newsoptions WHERE 1");
if($scriptpath['0']['scriptpath']){
    $scriptpath = str_replace(basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),"",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    $scriptpath= "http://" . $scriptpath;
    DataAccess::put("UPDATE $newsoptions SET scriptpath = ? WHERE 1",$scriptpath);
}

Then simply navigate to the admin.php file in your browser to have it update the path to the new one.

Okay, I did that but now when I test it, I get directed to http://admin.php/ :S

If that doesn't work it might be easier just adding the url directly into the langmsg_english.php file.

Thank you so much! That's it FINALLY sorted. It was such a head scratcher - i've been puzzled for hours :laughing:
