How do I turn off the Welcome email?

**mcdanie1** · 10-05-2003, 12:29 PM

I have tried setting the following to 0 and to nothing at all. Still an email gets sent.

// Set the coupon ID that will be sent by email to a new signup, if no id is set then no email

define('NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON', '0');

How do I turn off the inital email feature?

Or if I must use it, how do I remove the following line from the welcome email:

EMAIL_GV_LINK http://www.subtl.com/shop/gv_redeem....baedc402bd3313

I have tried commenting it out in english/create_account.php

That does not work.

Thanks,

Mac

See these posts:

To turn off email completely, go to the admin and find the configuration section and select email. Then turn it off. No email will be sent.

Thanks,
But, I had already seen those two posts and they did not answer my question. I tried what was suggested in those emails and it did not work. That is why I posted the question. I would like to have OSC still send out emails when an order is placed and email receipts, etc.

The welcome email just contains text that I would rather not have in the welcome email and would like to change it.

Is there not a way to take out the discount langaunage in the welcome email?

Anyone know how to remove the link to gv_redeem.php in the welcome email? It appears in the welcome email like below:

or by following this link http://www.subtl.com/shop/gv_redeem....baedc402bd3313

I comment it out in the english/create_account.php, but then I get this:

EMAIL_GV_LINKhttp://www.subtl.com/shop/gv_redeem.php?gv_no=7b44468f32&osCsid=53c4259c 162cfbed12baedc402bd3313

I just want to remove any link to the website from the email. Has anyone done this? Or know how to?

Thanks

Try this
define('EMAIL_TEXT', 'You can now take part in the various services we have to offer you. Some of these services include:' . "\n\n" . '<li>Permanent Cart - Any products added to your online cart remain there until you remove them, or check them out.' . "\n" . '<li>Address Book - We can now deliver your products to another address other than yours! This is perfect to send birthday gifts direct to the birthday-person themselves.' . "\n" . '<li>Order History - View your history of purchases that you have made with us.' . "\n" . '<li>Products Reviews - Share your opinions on products with our other customers.' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_CONTACT', 'For help with any of our online services, please email the store-owner: ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '.' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_WARNING', 'Note: This email address was given to us by one of our customers. If you did not signup to be a member, please send an email to ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '.' . "\n");
define('EMAIL_GV_INCENTIVE_HEADER', '');
define('EMAIL_GV_REDEEM', '');
define('EMAIL_GV_LINK', '');
define('EMAIL_COUPON_INCENTIVE_HEADER', '');
define('EMAIL_COUPON_REDEEM', '');

?>

I was able to remove all mention of a voucher or coupon in the welcome email by setting the NEW_SIGNUP_GIFT_VOUCHER_AMOUNT value on line 26 to '0'

And the NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON value to '' (thats two single quotes)
