Quick question about custom message for verification and password reset email sent

[Alex Bush]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set (custom) messages for both the verification email sent for new user registration and password reset email sent for existing users.

I have found the list of available messages here: http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/09 however none of them seem to correspond to the messages I describe. I don't really want to start modifying the gluon files to include these messages so I wondered if anyone knows of an alternate method to setting these messages. I think it is important to let the user know they must verify their account by email and currently no notification is given to them.

Thanks!

Do auth.messages.verify_email and auth.messages.verify_email_subject not work for you? Note, auth.messages.email_sent is for the flash message that tells the user an email was sent (it is a generic message, not specific to the verification email, though you could change it dynamically to a custom message when the register function is called).

 

and password reset email sent for existing users.

auth.messages.reset_password_subject and auth.messages.reset_password

Appologies if the initial email was confusing and thank you for the reply Anthony, I understand and am using auth.messages.verify_email and auth.messages.verify_email_subject however I wondered if there was any way to set a specific flash message for each situation (verification email sent and password reset email sent) instead of the generic auth.messages.email_sent? 

At the moment the user is directed to the login page after registering and the only hint of a verification email is the email sent flash.

As I mentioned, you can change auth.messages.email_sent dynamically:

def user():
    flash = dict(register='Verification email sent',
                 request_reset_password='Reset password email sent')
    auth.messages.email_sent = flash.get(request.args(0), auth.messages.email_sent)
    return dict(form=auth())
