How to edit Registration confirmation message

I do not want to redirect the user to a custom confirmation/thank-you page but instead want to change the message that appears after successful registration is complete (“Thank you. Your account has been approved. — Please login.”)

what’s the easiest way to do that / where is this message generated?

thanks

Hi Pirco.

You could try this in /wp-content/mu-plugins/s2hacks.php (create the dir/file if you don’t have it yet):

[hilite pre_code]
Thank you! Your account has been approved.
The next step is to Register a Username for immediate access.')
$translated = 'My customized thank-you.';
return $translated;
}
[/hilite]

thanks, Cristián. this looks great.
I suppose I can “translate” other texts with that. but how do I know which $context to reference? is there a quick way to find out?

thanks again.

Right, you can translate other strings too. Search for the string in the s2Member files and there you’ll see the complete string you need to match, as well as the context string. There are editors that let you search in several files, I use EditPlus.

thanks!

No problem! :)

ok so I had to change direction and now need to re-direct users to a custom “thank you” page upon successful payment for a membership. I have set up the page (http://www.lookforward-yourwhitebook.com/thank-you/) and added

success="/thank-you"

to the short code

[s2Member-Pro-AuthNet-Form level="2" ccaps="" desc="$4.90 USD for 1 week access" cc="USD" custom="www.lookforward-yourwhitebook.com" ta="0" tp="0" tt="D" ra="4.90" rp="1" rt="W" rr="0" rrt="" accept="visa,mastercard,amex,discover" coupon="" accept_coupons="0" default_country_code="US" captcha="1" success="/thank-you" /]

but it does not redirect. the AJAX message displays instead. what am I missing? is there any setting that could have changed?

thanks

I try loading the page but it doesn’t let me, it’s protected. That could be messing with the redirection. http://www.lookforward-yourwhitebook.com/thank-you/

What do the logs say for that transaction? Anything odd there? If the transaction has any problems, the [hilite mono]success[/hilite] redirection will probably not happen. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› PayPal® Options -› Account Details -› Logging[/hilite]

Do you have hacks installed that may affect this? /wp-content/mu-plugins/

Also, try these please: Knowledge Base » Common Troubleshooting Tips

sorry. I tested without protection already and disabled the authentication now again.

I had the “silent mail chimp subscription” hack in mu-plugins but disabled that.

I followed the troubleshooting tips. I’m using authorize.net. still a test account but it’s not in TEST mode…

just curious because everything works. users get added, emails sent out, and the new account works. authorize.net sends me the “charge” and all is good. except the re-direct…

thanks

for testing purposes you can access the registration page here
http://www.lookforward-yourwhitebook.com/become-a-member
and use authorize’s test VISA card 4007000000027

EDIT: well, it’s getting weirder… now the page does not only not re-direct. it doesn’t even show the AJAX confirmation message. it seems to think this page is now protected (it is not). at least that’s what I can glean from the URL http://www.lookforward-yourwhitebook.com/become-a-member/?_s2member_seeking%5Btype%5D=page&_s2member_seeking%5Bpage%5D=1172&…

EDIT2: and now I see this message in the log: Unable to verify POST vars. This is most likely related to an invalid Authorize.Net® configuration. Please check: s2Member -> Authorize.Net® Options.
(sorry, EDIT3: looks like that message is a default message)

Thanks for the info, Pirco.

I followed the troubleshooting tips.

So you tried using the default theme and deactivating all the other plugins? Or did you try a clean WP installation with just s2Member added for the tests and you still had the problem?

just curious because everything works. users get added, emails sent out, and the new account works. authorize.net sends me the “charge” and all is good. except the re-direct…

Yes, it’s odd. Did you also try using the full URL in the [hilite mono]success[/hilite] attribute? http://www.lookforward-yourwhitebook.com/thank-you/

EDIT2: and now I see this message in the log: Unable to verify POST vars. This is most likely related to an invalid Authorize.Net® configuration. Please check: s2Member -> Authorize.Net® Options.

Did you do the server check to see that nothing wrong is reported there? http://www.s2member.com/kb/common-troubleshooting-tips/#server

Did you review and verify that all your integration is properly filled out in s2Member and Authorize.Net? [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Authorize.Net® Options[/hilite]

hi cristian
I did the troubleshooting tests a while back when I had other issues. but I suppose I need to do all of it again.
so I will be back.

thanks

Cool. :)
