I want to change a few lines in the e-mail that is sent when a user first signs up for my shopping cart. In what file can I find the text to change what the welcome e-mail says? Thanks.

I have that page, but I don't see where I can edit the e-mail that osCommerce sends when a user signs up for a new account.

 

The code I see in that page looks like this:

 

<?php

/*

$Id: create_account.php,v 1.8 2002/11/19 01:48:08 dgw_ Exp $

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Create an Account');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'My Account Information');

define('TEXT_ORIGIN_LOGIN', '<font color="#FF0000"><small><b>NOTE:</b></font></small> If you already have an account with us, please login at the <a href="%s"><u>login page</u></a>.');

?>

 

 

 

I want to change the e-mail that is send and reads as follows:

I want to change a few lines in the above e-mail, but I am not sure where that text is located and in what file.

Do you have osc2.2ms2?

 

You seem to have an older version of create_account.php. The latest version is 1.11 and you have 1.8.

 

Try replacing your entire file with this code:

<?php
/*
 $Id: create_account.php,v 1.11 2003/07/05 13:58:31 hpdl Exp $

define('EMAIL_SUBJECT', 'Welcome to ' . STORE_NAME);
define('EMAIL_GREET_MR', 'Dear Mr. %s,' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_GREET_MS', 'Dear Ms. %s,' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_GREET_NONE', 'Dear %s' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_WELCOME', 'We welcome you to <b>' . STORE_NAME . '</b>.' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_TEXT', 'You can now take part in the <b>various services</b> we have to offer you. Some of these services include:' . "\n\n" . '<li><b>Order History</b> - View your history of purchases that you have made with us.' . "\n" . '<li><b>Products Reviews</b> - Share your opinions on products with our other customers.' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_CONTACT', 'For help with any of our online services, please email the store-owner: ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '.' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_WARNING', '<b>Note:</b> This email address was given to us by one of our customers. If you did not signup to be a member, please send an email to ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '.' . "\n");

?>

 

You will need to put your own text in the 'EMAIL_TEXT' field

Changing that one page to the newer version shouldn't mess up other pages would it?

 

Also I am guessing if I upgraded to the newest version of osCommerce it would write over all the changes i have made to the version I am running correct?

 

Thanks for your help.

I don't think it would mess anything up. If you upgraded, yes, it will erase all the changes you've made so far. No, there isn't a way to update this in the admin panel.

That didn't work for me. It still shows all the text. The changes I made to the text are not taking effect. Is there any other option?

Changing just the create_account file in you lang folder probably did not work because your catalog/create_account file is not looking for the new information. I would change both of them and see if that helps.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems?

There are many very useful osC Contributions

Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here

BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??
