Customer Email Confirmation

[meandrew]

Feeling rusty :(

 

Could someone let me know where the command is for sending the customer an email upon account creation success please?

 

I am making a minor modication and just need to know the flow of functions including the insert query :)

 

Thank you

I believe you need to look for the create_account_success.php in the catalog root. That is called from the create_account.php in the same dir. In this file is where an email is generated and send to the new member.

you will be able to locate functions in the functions folder. It's a good idea to get an editor that searches in your whole osC folder or any subfolder for an expression.

 

To be honest, I did not understand your question as to what you want to accomplish, but for finding functions my tip will work :-)

the function that sends mail itself is called tep_mail() Within create_account.php see a couple of pages from the beginning if( error == false ) within the conditional block is where it sets up the email content and details.

Recommendation for software wold be good and free would be better :)

 

What I am trying to accomplish is simple! I want to use the existing create_account.php form to add the same fileds to a new (different table) the create_account.php will be renamed as will the create_account_success.php however on doing this I don't wnat to send an email using the exsiting text, I therefore need to change the name of the mail() and create some new text :) are you with me on this so far :)

I use textpad :-)

 

You do not need to rename the function, it is filled with the content right before sending the email, you add email addys, subject and text right there, and not in the function ...

 

create_account.php:

// build the message content
     $name = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;

     if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {
        if ($gender == 'm') {
          $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MR, $lastname);
        } else {
          $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MS, $lastname);
        }
     } else {
       $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_NONE, $firstname);
     }

     $email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT . EMAIL_WARNING;
     tep_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

 

subject is filled from the language file with the same name, as are a few fields for greeting etc
