    I want to add some text to the page where "Thank you! you have been registered" is written. I am unable to figure out which file is to be edited. Please help me out. It's urgent.

    This depends on the exact template you are using.

    I am a web developer and when I need to find something in any sort of script I do this.

    1. Download Jedit (free editor.)

    2. Install the project manager

    Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Install

    Look for project manager in the list and install it. If you have problems installing it then you might have to use the download options button and change the mirror which is where the plugin is downloaded from.

    3. I believe you have to enable the plugin in the plugin manager area (plugins -> plugin manager.) Then you should have project manager in the list under the plugins option at the top. Use this area to select the option to show the plugin manager. When you can see the project manager then you can dock it to the left or right with an option in the upper right hand corner.

    4. Now you can import a folder of php files into the project manager. I would place all the PHPBB and template files in a folder on your computer somewhere and search that way. You don't have to install the script, you just need them to be on your computer unless you come up with an alternative.

    5. Once you have the folder imported then you should have a list in the project manager that shows the name of the project and all the files. Right click on the top level folder and do a search. Search for the string "you have been registered" or something to that effect.

    6. You should now get a listing that will show all files which has this exact string. In your case you will probably only have it once for every template that comes with the system. Pick the one that matches the template in question and edit.

    Those above steps can be used to search an entire code base with just one pass. This is extremely helpful and can save a ton of time whenever you find yourself in this situation. The tools are free too.

    This might be more work than you were asking for. The process might be too difficult. However, if you can go through these steps and make them work for you then you will never have to ask how to find something hidden in PHP and template files again.
