When a user <b>'Signs UP'</b> the URL they get in the email has one too many <install_dir>/index.php/ in it. I noticed this in the forum from last Novemeber and did not see a reply. (I tried to add to that thread but it kept opening a different thread)

http://example.com/<install_dir>/index.php/<install_dir>/index.php/user/activate/<confirmation_code>

Once I removed the extraneous <install_dir>/index.php/ it worked fine. Anyone know how I can fix this so it sends out the correct URL?

In the templates directory for your siteaccess you can edit the email, by opening user/activateaccountmail.tpl. It has a line like this:

http://{ezini("SiteSettings","SiteURL")}{concat("user/activate/",$hash)|ezurl(no)}

I think you're running uri siteaccess (from looking at the example you provided), so simply changing ezurl will probably work:

http://{ezini("SiteSettings","SiteURL")}{concat("user/activate/",$hash)|ezroot}

Thanks, but that didn't work, I ended up with:
http://www.olmc.nsw.edu.au/magex/mag/index.php"/magex/mag/user/activate/6bc03ae04dba3104318fff5fa8228a1e"

Also I do not have a user/activate directory, but do have that file in
design/standard/templates/user

/user/activate is a module, not a design directory. You'll find it under kernel :)

The answer to your problem is in the file activateaccountmail.tpl though.

For example one solution might be:

{ezini("SiteSettings","SiteURL")} - This finds out what your website url is from the overriding site.ini file. I'd guess that you have something like

SiteURL=www.example.com/index.php/siteaccess

if so change it to

SiteURL=www.example.com

and revert back to your original activateaccountmail.tpl. If that doesn't work try experimenting to find out the results you get with the different parts of http://{ezini("SiteSettings","SiteURL")}{concat("user/activate/",$hash)|ezurl(no)}

OK, thanks, working now. The only copy I have of the activateaccountmail.tpl is in the design directory as mentioned in previous post. I don't seem to quite understand the way that you refer to the various directories etc, however I seem to have found the right site.ini.append.php file and it now works as expected.
Cheers
