[SOLVED] Assigning template to temporary links?

Hi,
i have the problem of assigning the joomla template i use to certain links/messages that show up in the process of a user's registration.

I use a 'yootheme' template (on a Joomla 3.3 site) that i have redesigned to my needs (other typo, colors etc.). It is assigned to all the menu-links there are in my website and it is also the standard template. Everything works fine so far.

Here comes the problem:

1. the registration via Community Builder on the website including "registration complete"-message works, "my template" will be displayed.


2. Now if a user has registered he gets several messages via email:

"Confirm your registration" - if a user does this, he got over to the website and a new message (that he "now can login") shows up, BUT now the original template instead of "my template" is displayed...?

The link in the email looks something like that:
http://www domain com/ ... /index.php?option=com_comprofiler& task=confirm& confirmcode= rege7933e3fd2411ea4fdb2dd3e371ad1a00047fdda& amp; Itemid=136

- for that I have no menulink which i could assign "my template" to, and
- these links are only temporary links!

Or other links i.e. for messages like "Error: You are not authorized to view this page! You need to log in."
are NOT shown in "my template", they're all shown in the original template...


Let's say it that way:
i only can assign "my template" to existing menulinks (or links i created in a hidden menu), but NOT to temporary registration links etc.

HOW can i fix that "every message" is shown in "my template" not in the original one?
I hope someone can help?

Cheers

Any solution in sight? :dry:

Template assignment is entirely dependent on Itemid. The Itemid in the URL sent in the email is "136". Find the Joomla menu item associated with that Itemid then assign your template to it. It's likely your CB Registration menu item or CB profile menu item. The "done" links I don't think have an Itemid but I believe that's fixed in CB 2.0.

Hi Kyle,
thanks for that hint. But this is what i am trying to say: these "Email"-Links are 'like temporary links', one has item ID 136, the next registered user got ID 179 ...
There is no menu link with id 136 or 179 etc i could assign the template to.

See what JOE and JIM had in their mail inboxes soon after registration via CB - this is automaticly sent by CB:

If there would be a component that creates these Email-Links with always the same ID i would assign the template to this (hidden)menu link.

But i think of that this "com_comprofiler" always creates a pretty new link with a pretty new ID.
I hope you get the point?

Thanks

CB uses the first menu link the user has access. This is typically always the profile menu link. It's not possible to force it to a single Itemid as it builds that URL internally automatically. The alternative is to construct the URL manually, which you can do using the below.

[cb:config param="live_site" /]/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=confirm&confirmcode=[cbactivation]&Itemid=ITEM_ID_HERE

You can then replace ITEM_ID_HERE with whatever menu item id you like.

OK, i created a new menu "System Link", menu item type "External URL", and as link i put in:
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=confirm&confirmcode=[cbactivation]&Itemid=147
(ID 147 is "CB Registration" menu link), and assigned my template to.

Now, when i click on the confirmation link that came with the email:

... index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=confirm&confirmcode=rege7933e3fd2411ea4fdb2dd3e371ad1a00047fdda&Itemid=136

nothing has changed. Inside the browser's URL bar that link is shown:

http : //www . domain . com / index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=confirm&confirmcode=rege7933e3fd2411ea4fdb2dd3e371ad1a00047fdda&Itemid=136

and the other template is still shown...
