Hi,
I have searched and can't find a way to remove the password from the registration email. I have looked in my language files and can't figure out what to change or remove.
I am using Joomla 2.5 and Virtuemart 2.0.18
Thanks for any assistance.
That is a Joomla setting. Go the the User manager options and set "Send Password" to no.
As usual your right! Thanks so much! ;D
Moved a bit fast on that "solved" button.
This actually was a Virtuemart issue. I needed to change components > com_virtuemart > views > user > tmpl > mail_html_reguser.php I changed the password_clear to password_hidden, and then changed my language > en_gb > en_gb.com_virtuemart.ini line 623 from "your password: " to "your password: ******". Of course I could have just removed the password_clear line all together.
Hope this helps someone ;)
This helped me! thanks leahRae!
Virtuemart devs, why would you even show a password in the registration email?
It is Joomla default. Nothing at all to do with VM!
This is actually a Virtuemart issue - the Joomla setting for sending user passwords does not influence the Virtuemart code:
echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_YOUR_PASSWORD') . $this->user->password_clear . $li. $li;
Remember flks, use a template overrise if you want to comment that line out of components > com_virtuemart > views > user > tmpl > mail_html_reguser.php
Tested with VM 2.0.6 and J 2.5.22

Agree with Frank VM is disclosing the password via email in the registration mailing.
components/com_virtuemart/views/user/tmpl/mail_html_reguser.php
and
components/com_virtuemart/views/user/tmpl/mail_raw_reguser.php
echo JText::_('COM_VIRTUEMART_YOUR_PASSWORD') . $this->user->password_clear . $li. $li;Many sites do this, it is up to you whether you assign an override.
It should be noted that :-
Joomla does disclose the password for registration that requires activation! (of course this is a langauge element so can be overriden - without a template change)
If no activiation is necessary, the password is not disclosed.
