Author Topic: Customize the !Confirm Link? (Read 7055 times)

Currently, the !confirm tag outputs the following in the confirmation email:

============================
Please click the link below to confirm your subscription:
Confirm
============================

I would like to do something more like this:

============================
» CLICK HERE TO VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS «
============================

Where can I access the code that creates the link?

Also... since some online email services do not make links clickable by default, it would be *very* handy (and much more user friendly) if the HTML version of the !confirm code could look more like this:

============================
» CLICK HERE TO VERIFY YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS «

If the link above is not clickable, please copy and paste this link into your browser address bar:
http://www.domain.com/mail/confirm.php?u=64d4c1a
============================

Is this possible? I suppose if I knew which file to poke around in I might have a better idea.

DUDEEEE!!!!!

I was just poking around the custom Message Codes. I totally forgot how those work, and how flexible they can be. Obviously, this is the answer to all my problems.

DW... you are the Freakin' Man! I want to send you some money. Tell me how.

Well wait a sec... We're close. Really close.

Problem is that in the HTML version, I can't see a way to print out the raw link (as in my last example above). Of course it's printed correctly in the text version, but not in HTML. See what I mean?

I think it's important to show a printed out URL for the under-informed folks that don't know they need to tell their email program to make links clickable.

Yes, I see what you mean, however this is unfortunately not (yet) possible for confirm links in HTML messages. I will keep it as a suggestion. I would be willing to make a custom modification to your files alone if it is important to you.

Sounds good Dean. I will get in touch with you as soon as I'm ready to do this. Thank you.
