DogFoodIT Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 hi all, just wondering how the product notification works?? customer buys item selects "notify me of products updates" now in admin you can create an email as product_notification lock it in and hit send! that seems fine but i can not test the way it actually works as we have thousands of emails in our database and i do not want to send an inappropriate test email to the customers. i have been told that the notification email should be sent out when you update the product but i have read the code and can not see how this is happening. if someone could give me a brief rundown on how it works it would be much appreciated. Ben
♥Monika in Germany Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Hi Ben, I suggest you open up admin/includes/modules/product_notification.php Towards the bottom, find this: while (list($key, $value) = each ($audience)) { $mimemessage->send($value['firstname'] . ' ' . $value['lastname'], $value['email_address'], '', EMAIL_FROM, $this->title); } comment this section out completely and replace it by $mimemessage->send('Ben', '[email protected]', '', EMAIL_FROM, $this->title); use your own email addy, obviously. Then you can just test away ... only you will get an email. :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...
