This must be a simple one, but as always the answer evades me!
The final email message that includes the userid and password reads like this:
Dear User,
Your new account is setup.
You can log in with the following information:
Username: testeight
Password: f565b34b
and the link here
Thanks!

I would very much like to customize this to my own note, including the signature, etc.
I have tried the welcome box in settings, but to no avail. I am not giving them a blog and just a user account. Perhaps that’s why the welcome thing doesn’t work.
Where do these email messages reside in the back-end? I know this one must be somewhere in WPMU files and not BP.
Thank you so much;

We need to narrow this down further. Make a copy of the custom theme you’ve created. Save it someplace. Wipe the directory /wp-content/themes/home. That’s where the theme labeled “WordPress mu Homepage” is located. I’m guessing you modified that one. Upload a fresh copy of that directory to the server. No mods nothing. Right out of the download zip. Activate that theme and then see if you get the error.
I have installed and been testing this login plugin, and it’s working great so far…even allows me to configure login and logout redirects, among other things.

You can legally remove it.
(wheeze) I never should have come back to this thread. (wheeze) You guys are literally gonna kill me. You know I have asthma, a heart condition and psoriasis. (wheeze) Where’s my doctor’s number.. (giggling) There I go again. (wheeze) LOL.
I’m never coming back here.
Yes can “legally” remove it. Morally, you will be killing puppies and kittens 
There Burt! lol
Trent
lol I really don’t know what’s going on here!
apeatling, can you pleae tell me if I can legally remove it?
thanks…
Now, Andy has the idea of this thread. LOL. C’mon Trent join in the fun.
I have a Hungarian language install at http://unitarsalgo.unitarius-halo.net/ . I used BuddyPress 1.0b1 with WordPress MU 2.7 and bbPress 1.0 alpha. Hungarian language file is about 90% complete; I’ll make it available when its 100%. I’d say 1.0b1 was about 98% ready for use with other languages: I had to go through the files line by line to add missing get-text tags. Since I’m just finishing my 1.0b1 install, I think I’ll wait a bit before upgrading to beta 2. When I do I’ll be comparing my tweaked files to 1.0b2 files in ExamDiff to find changes I need to carry over; This time I’ll try to keep some notes so I can’t point the developers toward any remaining problems.
Yes, you can remove it, but you will also be killing puppies and kittens.
In terms of actually doing this, I am pretty sure you can since it is released under the same license as WordPress which I am pretty sure you can remove credit.
I think I’m gonna rename this thread “The perils of not giving credit where credit is due”
Next contributor please.
According to a legend if you remove the copyright you will be captured by extra-terrestrials (Automattic team) and their chief (Mullenweg) will implante an electronic chip in your brain . the chip will generate the same song (downtown by petula clark) everytime a comment spam is send to a blog around the world.
so : Be careful please!
Hello Andy, excellent job, I love wordpress…. I have been testing all community and multiuser blog systems and while Buddypress is still in a marvel work on development I prefer to wait for BP instead of installing and developing on any other platform… WordPress MU+Buddypress rock and will drive the social communites in not time….
I am testing buddypress at http://www.aula5.net, aula5 will be an educational+young people community in the Dominican Republic, the only thing I am missing is the Album feature, this is the main reason for people to enter in any community, PICTURES, PHOTOS.
hi, would be possible to use the custom login WP plugin?
a little photoshop can do miracle in some cases.. thougt
I don’t really like the economic model that wpmudev.org uses. It encourages a ‘rape and pillage’ type of attitude. Pay your $ for a month of access and take everything worth taking. See ya. Got what I want.
I don’t have a moral issue with making money from support or custom coding. I want whoever it is that owns that site to make money. It’s the month of access part I have problems with. It encourages bad behavior.
Premium $ for that? It’s 5 lines of code.
Probably lots of bells and whistles with the premium plugin.
XMLRPC interface to your iphone. Plays a song. Washes the dishes. Babysits the kids. Detection routine for site admin ‘crankyness’ level.
There’s also a premium plugin that allows for login redirection, but it looks like you’ve already solved that;)
http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/login-redirect
Almost solved! Password not a problem.
I just noticed that I can easily change the password using the “settings” on the profile page. It’s awesome!
I won’t be giving them a blog yet. So that won’t be a problem.
So, all set. All I have to do now is change the text on the last activation email sent to users. It looks rather unfriendly with the title: “dear user” and the signature “WordPress”.
Other than that, it’s all cool.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
You might try the wpmu forums. Lost of trusty brains there. https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/
Yep. If you disable the back end they won’t be able to change the password. You want to disable it completely? How are people going to write blog posts?
Anyway, the password on signup is more than I have time for now. There is a premium plugin available on wpmudev.org http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/set-password-on-wordpress-mu-blog-creation that does what you want. I don’t know if it works with bp or not.
Burt:
THANK YOU so much. It worked! I made the file executable, as you said, and it worked beautifully, directing me straight to the user’s profile page right after the lognin page.
But please don’t go away yet. The outstanding thing now is the password. Seeing as though users will have no access to the back end to change the password, they may be stuck with WordPress’s assigned password. Is there a way to help them have their own selected password?
This may be asking too much. But seeing as though we have Andy’s attention too, I hope we can do it and offer the users a great experience at the outset. I know once they get through the registration happily, they would be amazed by the power of this platform.
Nonetheless, I am already happy with this progress.
Thanks so much;

Phunky, ya that $user param isn’t just a user id. It’s the massive wp user object.
$user->all_about_this_person_and_then_some
burtadsit, i meant to say alternative way. sound right?
You could extend on burtadsit plugin and check the users role/cap first and then redirect them accordingly.
