Please help me change the email text

[MrLee]

Hello

 

I'm totally new at this....ie it took me 20 minutes just to work out how to post a message here!! No joke!

 

When somebody creates an account, they get an auto email that says...well it says stuff that i don't want it to say. I've been looking through lots of the files and folders, but can't seem to locate it anywhere. Does anybody know how to do this?

 

Also there are so many other things i didnt even realise you could do with this shopping cart!! Wow some of the carts look really really good......I would ask how to change the background, remove stuff etc...but first things first...i'm only a rookie.

 

Thanx for any help in advance

 

oh and i must add....is this cart really totally free as it seems to good to be true considering how cool some of the online carts look.

Most of the text displayed on pages and in emails is drawn from specific langauge files - hence the multilingual capabilities of osCommerce.

 

The file you need to find is:

 

catalog/includes/languages/*your language*/create_account.php

 

 

The sections of the file that handle the content of the welcome email is"

 

 

 

define('EMAIL_SUBJECT', '');

define('EMAIL_GREET_MR', '');

define('EMAIL_GREET_MS', '');

define('EMAIL_GREET_NONE', '');

define('EMAIL_WELCOME', '');

define('EMAIL_TEXT', '');

define('EMAIL_CONTACT', '');

define('EMAIL_WARNING', '');

Hope this helps
