CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I want people to register as Drupal users, so I'm not allowing anonymous registrations -- "register for events" is not checked for anonymous but is for authenticated. If someone goes to the registration form without logging in, they get the message:

You do not have permission to register for this event

I would like to change the message to:

You must register with the site and login before registering for the conference
with a link to /user/register

What file is this message in? I'm OK changing code, but I don't know how to find which file to change.

Or instead, is there a way to create the Drupal username from the online registration process?

The conference is http://nctech4good.org

You might also try civicrm/admin/options/wordreplacements&reset=1

I haven't tried it on error messages, but it works great elsewhere.  And it would save you from having to re-patch on every upgrade.
