Hi All

The following is an extract from the manual.

Warning time for inactivity / expiry

: If set, a warning message will be sent to users this amount of time

before their accounts are due to expire or become inactive. This time may be specified in days, weeks, months,

years or ``No end date''. If the latter is chosen, users do not receive a warning before their account expires or

they are flagged as having an inactive account.

I have two questions:

1. Where can I see the wording used in the warning?
2. Can the wording used in the warning be modified?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Jen,

You can review this warning in the file {installation directory}/lang/en.utf8/mahara.php within your mahara-installation. Search for the keys 'accountinactivewarningtext' and 'accountinactivewarninghtml'. 

To change the warning, create a file {installation directory}/local/lang/en.utf8/mahara.php and copy the strings you want to change into that file (and have the file start with <?php)

You could edit the string in the file itself, but if you create the new file under local/, it won't be overwritten when you upgrade mahara to another version. 

Cheers,

Tobias
