Use Custom Email Template

1. When the User submits the registration form, they are alerted that a verification email has been sent.  
   
   
   
2. The email they receive contains a link to verify and activate their account. 
   
   
   

3. (i) If the User clicks on the link before it expires, they are taken to your site where a message confirms successful verification.  Their account is now activated and they can now login to their account.

   (ii) If the User clicks on an expired link, they will be alerted that they need to generate another verification email by clicking the provided link.  Clicking on the link will take them to a page where they can enter their email address and submit a request for another verification email.  Once submitted, a message confirms that the verification email has been sent.
