can not see changes to purchase email

[frankie4260]

I might be losing my mind: I've edited catalog/checkout_process.php to add more order details. However, when I test it my changes do not show up. I've tried several approaches for the last couple of days. FYI, my store is hosted on 1and1.com.

 

It would seem that this is cached somehow. Just in case I deleted all files from the \cache directory and no success.

 

Can anybody offer any suggestions?

 

Thank you!

Just to clarify, I've made many modifications to the generated email message in the past without any problems. The site has been operating fine for the last couple of years. Something is going on now that is sending the previous version of the email message and not the edited one.

Can you give some more info, what exactly you try to do?

I'm just editing the content of the email that gets send during the purchase. I save and upload the file and when I test it by making a purchase, the email does not contain my recent edits. For example, I change this text:

 

$email_order = 'Thank you for shopping at ' . STORE_NAME . '!'. "\n\n" . 'Your order details are: ' . "\n\n" . >

 

to this (added the word "kindly"):

 

$email_order = 'Thank you kindly for shopping at ' . STORE_NAME . '!'. "\n\n" . 'Your order details are: ' . "\n\n" .   

 

but when I test it, it reads: "Thank you for shopping at..."

 

so I know the file was edited properly and uploaded to the right place yet it does not work right.

I think I'm not being too clear. Let me try again:

 

In order to add more order details in the email that gets generated during the purchase, I have edited the file catalog/checkout_process.php. I have done this succesfuly multiple times before. This time, however, I'm going through the same process of editing and uploading the file to the server. But when I test it by doing a purchase, the email appears to be what the previous version of the order confirmation would look like. None of my changes are shown. This is the darnest thing.

 

I've deleted the file from the server and when I do a test I get an error and when I upload the file again the error goes away. So I'm pretty sure the correct php script is invoked.

 

What could be going on? Has anybody experienced anything like this in 1and1.com? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
