Add line of text to User Registration page

I'd like to edit our User Registration page so that there is a line of text right after the "email" field. ("STOP! Did you type in your email correctly" or something like that). I am assuming that to make this change, I need to adjust the "User Login & Create" widget in Widget Studio. If so, are there simple instructions anywhere to help me make this change? I'm not a developer, so I could really use a step-by-step.

  • There are a few ways to do this:

    Option 1: Edit the OOTB widget
    Requires understanding of editing widgets in Widget Studio
    Requires some development and understanding of how widgets display custom messages 

    • The widget to edit is "User - Login and Create" 
    • You would add a new resource key e.g. "email.warning" and set the value as "STOP! Did you type in your email correctly"
    • In the widget Implementation code, you would copy/paste a similar line of code that displays a resource item

    Option 2: Edit existing message
    Requires understanding of editing widgets in Widget Studio

    • The widget to edit is "User - Login and Create" 
    • Go to "Resources" and Find the existing message "Your e-mail address will not be published" (key is CreateNewAccount_EmailDescription)

        

    • Add your custom message at the beginning of the corresponding value and follow it with <br/> (HTML line break) as shown above
    • This achieves the same goal of adding your new message on top of the existing message. you can even add 

    Either option is fine. Although "hack" can be a dirty word, Option 2 is pretty simple because you just have to add that message text to an existing message resource, and it's easy to manage - nothing I would consider "coding"
