Re: Change Username, Firstname, Lastname on the register form

mitmit,

You can change these values by editing the file directly:

physical file path: admin\users\App_LocalResources\User.ascx.resx (examples of values found here are: UserInfo_Username.Text, UserInfo_FirstName.Text, UserInfo_LastName.Text)

or by editing them through the application:

(log in as admin or host) navigate to admin -> languages -> language editor (from context menu) -> Local Resources (from the tree) -> admin -> users -> app_localresources -> user.ascx

hope that helps,

Ian

Ian,

editing the files is not recommended, because

if you destruct SQL syntax, loading your portal might fail
HTML content needs to be HTML encoded
changes will be overwritten on upgrades.

Mitmit,

First thing, I recommend to check, as Ian's second suggestion, the contents of the localized resources through the application, not by directly editing the resx files.
I quote Ian: "(log in as admin or host) navigate to admin -> languages -> language editor (from context menu) -> Local Resources (from the tree) -> admin -> users -> app_localresources -> " ...and check-verify all the files under that directory.

Do not forget to choose the proper language from the dropdown in the middle of the screen ("Available Locales")... ;-)

HOWEVER: If you try to translate the TOOLTIP message that pops up on mouse hoover over the question mark on the left of each field in the Register form... for-get-about-it. Those strings are hard-coded and are not available for editing.

May be soon they'll be fixed!

Saludos,
Alejandro.
