That seems to have done the job - when I register as a new user I receive an email.
The email template has this: This email address was used to register a new account on ${wikiname}. If you did not make the request, please ignore this message. In order to activate your account, please follow this link: $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AccountValidation").getExternalURL("view", "validkey=${validkey}&xwikiname=${xwikiname}") So the email you recieved did not contain the url, it instead contained this velocity code? Where/how do I edit this template so that it presents as a URL? The template is located under XWiki.XWikiPreferences in the Registration area. You should have "User Email Verification" set to Yes and the "Validation e-Mail Content" Text area should contain: ---- #set($wikiurl = $xwiki.getDocument("Main.WebHome").getExternalURL()) #set($wikiname = $wikiurl.substring($wikiurl.indexOf("//"))) #set($wikiname = $wikiname.substring(2, $wikiname.indexOf("/", 3))) Subject: Validate your account on $wikiname Hello $xwiki.getUserName("XWiki.$xwikiname", false), This email address was used to register a new account on ${wikiname}. If you did not make the request, please ignore this message. In order to activate your account, please follow this link: $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AccountValidation").getExternalURL("view", "validkey=${validkey}&xwikiname=${xwikiname}") ---- when sent, the urls and wiki names should show up. After checking this, do you still have the problem? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Email-system-in-xwiki-tp2566794p2572039.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
