Silly question about product_notifcation

[DogFoodIT]

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.

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', 'ben@bensdomain.com', '', EMAIL_FROM, $this->title);

 

use your own email addy, obviously.

 

Then you can just test away ... only you will get an email.
