posts: 100

well, i've got some problems setting up my 1.8 tikiwiki page:

1. how can i change the default email that is sent to users upon registration (validate users per email)

2.how can I change the new user registration screen? not the admin user ading screen but the one a user sees when he want's to register?
I wan't to write some aditional info lik "maybe this email will be in your spam folder" or some explanation like that

3.I want my starting to be kind of like the http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php screen. But i don't know how to add this "news" box. I don't think it is a normal box that is updatet "by hand". it looks like the latest articles/news are automaticaly displayed there. how?

4. I've got the "Open external links in new window:" box checked but it won't work or all links. I made an image to work like a link apointing to an other page (like www.google.com, something "outside" tikiwiki) and the page isn't opened in a new link.

5. how kan i make a link to be opened in "the middle" of the page? keeping the left and right bars?

any help apreciated, since this is the first tikiwiki page i am making and kind of need it to be finished FAST exclaim
but kan't figure out theese things... redface

thanks!

Edit the ../templates/mail/user_validation_mail.tpl file.

Edit the ../templates/mail/user_validation_msg.tpl file. This is the text that will appear after your users submit their registration info.

Use the Article plugin.

I don't understand the question, sorry.

first of all: THANKS!!! mrgreen

didn't expect an answer so fast!

well, questions 1 and 2 are solved, and the article plugin also does the trick.

but is there a way to make new articles be displayed as new ones are added? maybe some way to insert the "tiki-list_articles.php" page into the starting page?

and to questions 4. and 5.

4. i inserted a picture with "{"img src=http://something.com/show_image.php?id=1 align=center link=http://www.somethingelse.com desc=Banda Seven"}"
(example adresses used here)
the image is displayed, and the link works.
my problem: it doesn't open in a new window.
yes i enabled the "Open external links in new window" in Admin=>General

5. Is there a way to make a link to an other web page, and when the link is opened the page is loaded between my top, bottom, letf and right bar? keeping my menus, modules and so on?

(here an image of how it could look using www.google.com, did it with paint so try not to lough mrgreen

Use the last_articles module.

Yes. You can specify that your page be loaded within a previously named DIV. I believe, depending on the theme you are using, the DIV's id is centercolumn.

I don't know about opening a link in a div, but you can write the link so that it opens in an iframe in the Tiki center column. See Custom menus - Scroll down to "Links in iframe". See an example of a wiki-link-to-iframe at http://zukakakina.com/LinkToIframe. Thanks to Torpedro.
