How to access and edit Welcome and Order emails?

[Goweb]

I am using OSCMax 2.0

It has been modded with the 'Purchase Without Account' option

I dont think it has been patched. It was downloaded around 11/6/2005

The URL is www.digitalcheap.com

Problem 1:

It seems that emails are not being sent to the customer after they place an order.

They get the Welcome email when they create an account.

Below is the partial code relating to sending out email, from the catalog/checkout_process.php page


------ Start Code --------------------------------------------------------------


// lets start with the email confirmation
// LINE ADDED: PWA - Add test for PWA - no display of invoice URL if PWA customer
if (!tep_session_is_registered('noaccount')) {
$email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id . "\n" .
EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n" .
EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";
if ($order->info['comments']) {
$email_order .= tep_db_output($order->info['comments']) . "\n\n";
}
$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
$products_ordered .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
} else {
$email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id . "\n" .
EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";
if ($order->info['comments']) {
$email_order .= tep_db_output($order->info['comments']) . "\n\n";
}
$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
$products_ordered .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
}

for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($order_totals); $i<$n; $i++) {
$email_order .= strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['title']) . ' ' . strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['text']) . "\n";
}

if ($order->content_type != 'virtual') {
$email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n";
}

$email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n";
if (is_object($$payment)) {
$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" .
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
$payment_class = $$payment;
$email_order .= $payment_class->title . "\n\n";
if ($payment_class->email_footer) {
$email_order .= $payment_class->email_footer . "\n\n";
}
}
tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

// send emails to other people
if (SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO != '') {
tep_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_ORDER_EMAILS_TO, EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
}


----- End Code -------------------------------------------------------------



Problem 2:

How do I access the Welcome and New Order Email content so I can edit them?

[JohnW]

I don't know why it's not sending the order emails but I have the answer for Problem 2.

Edit welcome emails in admin/includes/languages/english/create_account_process.php

Edit order emails depending on what you are looking to edit /includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

[spottedhaggis]

That location does not make alot of sense since it does not hold any of the data that is used to generate the email and its content, it merely defines which fields should be in the email itself.

In oscommerce I could edit the order email, but for some reason in OSCMAX I have not yet been able to locate the actual file with the email content in it.

[JohnW]

Are you telling me that the information is not there or that you don't think it shoud be there? In other words did you look?

Edit welcome emails in admin/includes/languages/english/create_account_process.php

Edit order emails depending on what you are looking to edit /includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

John is correct. The email text is edited in the exact files that he specified...

[spottedhaggis]

languages/english/checkout_process contains the following information?

So what am I missing here, nothing here will allow me to alter what is displayed in the email.? or am I being a plank? (likely)

[spottedhaggis]

I actually need to be able to remove all prices from being displayed in the order email sent to clients, but have no idea how to. Can anyone help me with that side of it at all?

For the structure you need to edit /catalog/checkout_process.php and/or checkout_success.php

For the text, also see /includes/languages/english/checkout_success.php

You know, all you need is a text editor that can search across files, then search for a text string in the email. This way you never, ever, EVER, have to wait for someone to do this exact thing for you...

I know people think I am like rainman and know every single osCMax constant, but my secret is UltraEdit and its neato 'Find in Files' feature. It just searches through EVERY file in osCMax, and tells me what files that search string is in. I highly recommend it.
