The top part can be defined in the language file, and the "As a registered user" stuff is more complicated, since its determine by the active modules you're using.

We are considering the ability to determine whether or not the "As a registered user" stuff is displayed in the upcoming release of RNYA, but it hasn't been implemented yet.

So the question is, do you want to change / eliminate the "As a registered user" stuff?

Hey man, I would like to remove this stuff in the white box, It doesn't really apply to my site and looks out of place. Is this possible ?

thanks

You should be able to find where these messages are generated in the new_user.php program. This is in the Your_Account/public directory. In the version I am looking at there is code like this:

Code:

echo ''._COOKIEWARNING.'<br />';


echo ''._ASREGUSER.'<br />';


echo '<ul>';


echo '<li>'._ASREG1.'</li>';


echo '<li>'._ASREG2.'</li>';


echo '<li>'._ASREG3.'</li>';


echo '<li>'._ASREG4.'</li>';


echo '<li>'._ASREG5.'</li>';


$handle=opendir('themes');


while ($file = readdir($handle)) {


   if ((!ereg("[.]",$file) AND file_exists('themes/'.$file.'/theme.php'))) { $thmcount++; }


}


closedir($handle);


if ($thmcount > 1) { echo '<li>'._ASREG6.'</li>'; }


$sql = "SELECT custom_title FROM ".$prefix."_modules WHERE active='1' AND view='1' AND inmenu='1'";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);


while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


   $custom_title = $row[custom_title];


   if ($custom_title != '') { echo '<li>'._ACCESSTO.' '.$custom_title.'</li>'; }


}


$sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_blocks WHERE active='1' AND view='1'";


$result = $db->sql_query($sql);


while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {


   $b_title = $row['title'];


   if ($b_title != '') { echo '<li>'._ACCESSTO.' '.$b_title.'</li>'; }


}


   if (is_active('Journal')) { echo '<li>'._CREATEJOURNAL.'</li>'; }


   if ($my_headlines == 1) { echo '<li>'._READHEADLINES.'</li>'; }


echo '<li>'._ASREG7.'</li>';


echo '</ul>';

If you just eliminate everything after the _ASREGUSER including the whole unordered list, it should do what you want. But obviously I haven't tried that so do it with a backup on a test system.

Hey, I have 3 different files,

new_user1.php
new_user2.php
new_user3.php

I did the changes you said to the "new_user1.php" file and it seems to have worked. Should I remove it from the others too ? or leave them alone ?

thanks again for all the help.

fkelly is looking at the new version of RNYA. In the 4.4.2 version you're using, you'll need to change the one that corresponds to the type of approval you require. I believe you're using 2, but it wouldn't hurt to do the others, too.

Thanks Kguske!. I was scratching my head at that question. I had seen the new_user2 and new_user3 files but wasn't sure how or why they were used. We learn a little every day in serendipitous ways.
