This page gives you a first orientation about, where to start if you want to change certain things on your regify provider.

Most files mentioned here can get edited directly in your regify provider administration in the menu option "Change provider optics and templates".
This is available from regify provider version 3.1.0 or higher (Jan. 2012).

changing e-mail templates

regify default message

This is the message where the rgf gets attached to. You can change this by editing /REGIFY_TEMPLATES/regify_default_message.html. You can find more information in the customizing documentation of your regify provider (PDF). Please note that you have to update the client-setups in order to bring the new template to the clients (on their next update).

messages sent from portal

This messages are sent by the portal (like reminder or e-mail address verification etc.). You can change them in /REGIFY_TEMPLATES/ for all languages. You can find more information (like "which template is for what" or "which placeholder contains which values") in the customizing documentation of your regify provider (PDF).

changing optical style

All the information here can be found in the regify customize documentation (PDF).

The optical provider customization happens in the REGIFY_PUBLIC/STYLE/ folders. You can change

  • CSS by adding or overwriting styles in _customized.css.
  • the header content by editing _navigation.php.
  • the meta information in html header by changing _meta.php.
  • the footer content by editing _footercontent.php.

The shops and authentication pages can get customized by changing json files in the REGIFY_PUBLIC/STYLE/ folders.

  • _auth_form.json (authentication dialog)
  • _shop_standard.json (shop for single/ungrouped users)
  • _shop_group.json (shop for group admins)

The Terms and Conditions are stored in the REGIFY_PUBLIC/STYLE/ folders, too.

  • _agb_DE.php (german terms and conditions)
  • _agb_EN.php (english terms and conditions)
  • _agb_FR.php (french terms and conditions)

The prices and paying information is located in REGIFY_PUBLIC/STYLE/ folders:

  • _conditions_DE.php (german prices and buying conditions)
  • _conditions_EN.php (english prices and buying conditions)
  • _conditions_FR.php (french prices and buying conditions)

adding subproviders

At first, please contact regify support. They can help you on your decision about choosing a subprovider or if it is better to do a completely new provider. You can edit the existing subproviders in the administration at "Manage sub-providers".

Windows Server: You can also add and remove new sub-providers here. But you have to manage Apache settings manually!

regify Software Appliance: You can add, manage and remove subproviders only in the Appliance Menu (SSH).

remove languages

Sometimes you might want to remove some of the languages offered by the regify portal. It is quite easy to deny a language by following this guide.

  1. Enter the administration dialog of your (sub)provider and chose to "Change provider optics and templates"
  2. Click on "navigation.php" to edit the navigation area.
  3. Please identify the following line on top of the file:
    ChangeLang 1.png
  4. There you can add the following code to exclude a language. In this example we are excluding the german language (DE). If someone with a german browser enters the site, we will forward him to the english pages (EN):
    ChangeLang 3.png
  5. Now, please remove the line with the unwanted language from the bottom of the code. If you want to have only one language, you might remove the whole <div> block. If you want to remove the german flag, the first line with the link can get deleted.

  6. Leave the dialog using the "Save changes" button. You are done.

change some internal values or settings

Please use the Edit regify-provider main configuration file function in your Manage sub-providers interface.

You can find the possible settings and some examples in your regify provider documentation (PDF). Please do not edit this file manually!
