If your community is using an SSO-login, then your users only will need to define a username and agree to the terms & conditions. In this topic you can find the details to change the phrases for this page.

Why this information?
Some text strings on the community cannot be edited with our live-edit tool, e.g. when you can only see a text string when you are not logged-in. In these cases, you will have to add the phrase manually. For this you will need to know the codes so you can add it via the Control environment in Control → Customization → Phrases.

Hi,

I just checked on another community, they are using this phrase as well and it works there as far as I know.

I could not find them in your list of phrases in your production environment. So just to be sure, as you say that you cannot “find” this one:

You have to manually add this phrase to your community, it is not in the list of phrases by default. So in the phrases page, you have to click on “Add phrase” and enter those values in the respective fields.

Or have you added it already on staging / removed it again after testing on production?

Hi @Julian I thought I add added it but in fact didn’t. That’s why I couldn’t find it. 

 

It’s sorted now. Thanks for your help. 

Hi @Julian - Seems there is a missing Key here. Or am I missing something?

thanks for your question!

I have double checked it, and this really is the key that you have to enter. 🙂 I know it looks strange, but this will work. I am not sure why we have chosen such a long key, probably a developer added it quickly and simply used the default text we use here.

But you have to use the entire text, so:


Choose your username. This name will be displayed in the topics and responses initiated by you.

Help! What am I doing wrong when trying to change the username wording for the registration page?

 

hmm @ryanne.perry I could be wrong, but it looks like your Module and Key are correct if you have the SSO login (I believe the keys are different if you do not have SSO enabled but @Julian keep me honest!). If you want to change the wording from “Choose your username. This name will be displayed in the topics and responses initiated by you.”, in the “Singular” section, just update to whatever text you prefer your members to see instead. 

Thanks @Casstastr0phee! We do have SSO enabled for our employees at present. I am trying to update the language for the username and email on the registration/create your account page for users.

Hi @ryanne.perry 
hmm..okay so it sounds like SSO is only enabled for employees? If that’s the case, you may want to look at this thread: 
 

Per the documentation: 

1. Title
Module: Common
Key: registration.detail.title


2. Description*
Module: Common
Key: registration.detail.descriptionWithLoginLink

*Add the variable {loginLink} to the description to include a “Login” link

Login link
Module: Common
Key: registration.detail.loginLink

3. Username
Module: Common
Key: loginBox.username

4. Email Address
Module: Common
Key: loginBox.emailaddress

5. Password
Important: Changing this will also change the phrase on the login page
Module: Common
Key: loginBox.password

6. I accept the terms & conditions*
Module: Common
Key: loginBox.terms
*Will automatically be replaced by the system with your platform terms url

7. Register button
Module: Common
Key: loginBox.register.button

 

Hope that helps?? 
-Cass.

happy to see you got it sorted, thanks @Casstastr0phee for your amazing help! 🙂 Let me know if there is anything else, @ryanne.perry!

hi all , 

i wonder how to add a custom link to the phrase?

for example in the registration page next to the accept the terms check box I want to add a custom sentence with a link to our privacy and terms pages.

i added the following phrase :

loginBox.terms

Common

"By checking this box and creating your profile, you agree to our Community Terms {hyperlink} and Privacy Policy {hyperlink} “

 

i can’t find a way to add the hyperlink.

Hi @aarbiv,

you can easily add hyperlinks to this phrase using HTML. An example of this could be found in this reply. Let me know if you need further assistance!
