E-mail customer text not working

[Guest]

Greetings all. I recently installed the add a customer admin contribution that allows you to create customer accounts in the admin tool. It works great. When you register a customer in the tool, it automatically sends the normal welcome e-mail to the customer, letting him/her know that their account has been created.

 

Well, I created a specialized e-mail text for customers that were created manually by the site manager. I defined it as "it to the /catalog/includes/english/create_account.php file. Here's the code:

 

define('EMAIL_ADDED_MANUAL', 'After a long hiatus and many arguments with our hosting company, Wayoutpost.com is finally back in business!' . '<br><br>' . 'As a previous customer of wayoutpost.com, we have kindly created a new account and temporary password for you.  Wayoutpost.com, Your Dark Home, is back in full force.  We have doubled our t-shirt offering from your favorite Death Metal, Speed Metal, Alternative, Punk and good \'ol Rock-N-Roll bands.  Because most of our suppliers are international, we have the most unique design offerings.  Your friends won\'t have it unless they bought it from Wayoutpost.com!' . 'Preview the new site here - http://www.wayoutpost.com/catalog' . '.' . 'If you make a purchase before the end of July, Wayoutpost.com will give you a 15% rebate off your purchase price.);

 

I changed the code in the customers.php file (from EMAIL_TEXT to EMAIL_ADDED_MANUAL). Now, instead of the text written above, I get the actual words "EMAIL_ADDED_MANUAL" in the e-mails sent to newly added customers. All I did was simply change the "EMAIL_TEXT" reference to "EMAIL_ADDED_MANUAL" in the code. Here 'tis:

 

$name = $customers_firstname . " " . $customers_lastname;
   if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {
     if
($HTTP_POST_VARS['customers_gender'] == 'm') {
       $email_text =
sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MR, $customers_lastname);
     } else {
       $email_text =
sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MS, $customers_lastname);
     }
   } else {
  	 $email_text =
sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_NONE, $customers_firstname);
   }
   
   $email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME .
EMAIL_ADDED_MANUAL . sprintf(EMAIL_PASS, $password) . EMAIL_CONTACT;
   tep_mail($name, $customers_email_address,
EMAIL_SUBJECT, nl2br($email_text), STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
 
    tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CUSTOMERS,
tep_get_all_get_params(array('cID', 'action')) . 'cID=' . $customer_id));

	 }

 

Any ideas? Did I screw up something in the definition?

Just a quick clarification. There is an apostrophe (') at the end of the definition statement. for some reason, I accidentally deleted it before posting in the code above. Sorry for the confusion.

Greetings all. I just realized that this contribution (create account) adds some definitions in admin/includes/language/english/customers.php. That's where I found the EMAIL_TEXT definition. it was confusing that it happened to be the same definition in the catalog create_account.php file. All resolved now.
