How to modify activation email content in Open edX Platform?


Someone has previously asked a question regarding the location of the activation email .txt file for the profile activation email that is sent out when a user registers on an Open edX platform.

I have located these files and made changes. Further, I have manually compiled the assets and restarted the lms, cms, and workers. My problem is that the old email is still sent when a user registers on the platform.

Can anyone help me understand what I need to do to make these changes happen? I've been working on this for a while and, to me, this seems like a straight forward problem. But I don't really understand what is happening, so am having trouble getting the desired output.


Solution

  • With latest platform release you just need to change the content in following files:

    1. lms/templates/emails/activation_email_subject.txt
    2. lms/templates/emails/activation_email.txt

    Nothing else needed, tested locally.
