Changing Order Email Sender

[Silverado05]

Hello,

 

I am doing some testing since I have changed gateway providers. I have come across a small issue that I don't like. I have noticed that the order emails that are being sent out are coming from the right address but it is it shows my name as the sender. How do I go about changing this to something like my store name instead of my own name as I believe this is a little unprofessional to see these emails being sent with my name.

 

-Thanks

Would I need to change this in email header, and if so where would this be located?

I think it takes the store owner name from admin configuration.

Yea that is what I was thinking also. Where is the file that sends these emails so I can't code it to the store name instead of the store owner?

I think towards the bottom of "/catalog/checkout_process.php"

 

  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);
 }

 

Just in case you (or anyone else reading this) doesn't know the parameters for tep_mail, here they are:

 

tep_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_body, $from_name, $from_email_address);

Wouldn't it be easier to change the owners name to the store name in your admin?

Yes and No, If you change the name of the owner to the Store Name then everywhere else it will output the Store Name where I want the owners name. That's why I just wanted to hard code the email.

 

Ok now I have gone to checkout_process.php and admin/orders.php and changed all STORE_OWNER to STORE_NAME but it is still sending emails as from the Store Owners name. Any other ideas of where to change this. Below I have attached the checkout_process.php, maybe someone can see something I missed or know of some other place to look and change?

Ok well for the meantime I have just changed this in the admin section and I guess until it poses a problem I can leave it that way.

 

The one thing I really would like to change is when I receive an order it comes from the customers email address in which they signed up with. While that is all good is their a way I can change who it is sent from. I use to get orders from one of my emails address but now I don't. Is their somewhere I can set this back on or change who is says the email is from?

 

-Thanks
