Change content email "Send updated account email to"

Submitted by Alain Cox on Sat, 02/25/2017 - 04:22

To personalize some screens and emailmessages sent by the system to the user I have made some changes in the following files: 1: /usr/libexec/usermin/bootstrap/session_login.cgi 2: /usr/libexec/webmin/virtualmin-password-recovery/usermin.cgi 3: /usr/libexec/webmin/virtualmin-password-recovery/email.cgi

about 1: Nice theme but I added a html link to the password recovery page about 2: recovery only by emailaddress (removed the field for the username) about 2: only emailing existing password (removed field to generate new password) about 3: change variable $url to 'mail.$urlhost....';

Question 1: will I loose my changes with each update from the related packages or only with "major" updates? Question 2: Further, I want to change the content from the email which is send when creating or editing a user (checkbox "Send updated account email to ..."). What file do I have to manipulate to change that content?

Thanks in advance! Alain Cox

You will lose these changes, but only when the password recovery plugin is updated (which is rarely). An update to the core Virtualmin or Webmin packages won't touch them.

Most text strings can be customized by editing the file lang/en under the module's directory.
