Customization of User Portlet
Hi,
how do i customize the registration and login process of JBoss Portal? I want at least give customers more feedback during registration. It would be very nice if the login portlet could be customized to look like this:
-------------------------------------------------- Username: _____________ Password: _____________ --------- | Login | --------- No account? Click <a>here</a> to register. ---------------------------------------------------
Alter submitting a request for registration, there should be a message displayed to
the new user, with a notification that he has to trigger account activation by responding
to the email send by the portal:
Your account has been created. However, this website requires account activation. An activation key has been sent to the e-mail address you have provided. Please check your e-mail for further information!
Also the email text should be customizable:
Dear Mr. Zurk, thank you for your interest. Your registration data have been stored. Please click on the following link to register finally. <link>here is the link<link> --- This email was generated automatically.
After the customer has activated it's account also a website should be displayed, that informs the customer that the registration process succeeded. For instance this text,
which should also be customizable:
Thank you for your interest. Your account has now been activated. Please login and check out the services.
Could this be done with JBoss Portal? Do i have to use the User Portlet therefor? Do i have to hack/modify the User Portlet source code? Do i have to write my own Login/Registration Portlet? I think this all could be achieved in a very generic way, that allows very much customization.
Another question of mine is: Where do i configure the email system of JBoss Portal? The User Portlet doesn't send a verification email, so i am asking me, where do i configure the mailhost and mail port?
I think, registration and login are core features of a portal so it is very important that they are highly customizable. Thanks for your time.
