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.

In this topic you can find the details to change the phrases on your login & registration pages.
 

Note: This only applies to the standard Customer Communities login / registration, not login via SSO!


How to change a text

  1. Navigate to Control → Customization → Phrases.
  2. Click Add phrase
  3. Add Module and Key in the details panel (see list of modules and keys below)
  4. Provide Translations in the Translations panel
  5. Click Save changes, your new phrase should be applied

UPDATE: 

An easier way to change login and register pages is now available. While logged in as an admin you can change the phrases as you normally do by going to the following URLs

Login Page: your-community/member/login?live_edit=1

Registration Page: your-community/member/register?live_edit=1

*Note: the registration page does not work for private communities that use a registration code.

 

I’m attempting to troubleshoot a custom phrase that is not displaying. It’s a private community, in sandbox for development, and I’m not able to find/change the registration detail text to include the Login link.

 

I believe I have the correct phrases, but no changes with every variation I have tried of the below.

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

 


Thanks for flagging this. I just happened to work on this the other day. But as you mentioned it is a private community, I am also not sure. 

Private communities have a setting in the platform visibility settings page, where you can define a subtitle:

 

Or is this what you are looking for (the registration link bit)?

Module: Common

Key: login.detail.descriptionWithRegistrationLink 

*Add the variable {registrationLink} to the description to include a “Create account” link

Hope that one of the two will help you further!


Hi Julian and thanks for the response. Unfortunately, neither of your suggestions address my issue, as it concerns the {LoginLink} in the Registration modal description, not the other way around. Here are the terms I have defined, using this discussion thread and Login terms as guides:
