When I add a user to a sharepoint site, sharepoint 2007 is sending an email message to notify the user. The message goes like this. I am using windows integrated authentication.Welcome to the SharePoint group: TestSiteOwners for site: Sites Welcome to the 'TestSite Owners' SharePoint group. System Account (SHAREPOINT\system) has added you to the 'TestSite Owners' group for this SharePoint site.Group description: Use this group to give people full control permissions to the SharePoint site: TestSiteAs a member of this SharePoint group, you can: * Participate in the SharePoint site at: http://testSite* View the group home page at: http://testSite/SiteDirectory/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=3 What is sharepoint site? ......etcHow to change this message to includecompany logo and a disclaimer?

This is more of an admin question than a customization (of the site) one.Moving to Admin

The mentioned article really talks about changing alerttemplates. Not the welcome email message customization.

Hi, I've a solution : Make a backup of the AclInv.aspx layout page (found in "12\Template\Layouts\"). Create a Class Library project that will be added to GAC (sign it to have strong name). Add reference to Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages assemblies. In this project, create a Class which inherits from Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.AclInv (exemple : CustomAclInv) public class CustomAclInv : Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.AclInv { } Compile, send to GAC to get the PublicKeyToken In the AclInv.aspx, modify the first "Assembly" directive (should be for the ApplicationPages assembly) and set your assembly. Modify the inherits attribute in the page directive to link the class you've created (CustomAclInv) Also in the AclInv.aspx, I've created a button near the OK Button and i've hidden the OK button (Visible = false). Here is the OnClick event of the button i've created : protected void btnTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (chkSendMail.Checked) { chkSendMail.Checked = false; SPUtiliy.SendMail(); // Send your mail here with your custom body, subject, ... } BtnOK_Click(sender, e); } I unchecked the check box and send my email manually. Once done, i call the OK onclick event to process. My checkbox is unchecked so no new email sent. This is a little sample. I use WSPBuilder to send my aspx file to the layout directory. Hints : If you want to specify your own email subject, set the InputFormTextBox txtEmailSubject to visible false AND do the same for the InputFormRequiredFieldValidator!!! otherwise, when you'll click OK, tha page will not be valid so the email will be send but no modification in your sharepoint group. Hints2 : To get email addresses use the userPcker.Entities property (of the PeopleEditor). It will give you an entry for each user selected. You can access e-mail addresses with the entityData["Email"] property : userPicker.Entities[0].EntityData["Email"].ToString() (if no email address is set, the entry "Email" will not exists). Warning : The modifications done in the aspx files (in the layout directory) can be erased if an upgrade is done (service pack or else). Hope that will help you :) NiKo
