Yet another question: How do you change the message content of hte E-mail Welcome Message? I tried looking all over the files and the admin panel but couldn't figure it out.

Anyone know the awsers to these questions?

There's a tutorial about the Welcome email here:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=20


You could strip (or comment out) the create account stuff in (I think) includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php


I did that some time ago, but it was in version 1.2.X, and was a lot different.

How can you make shipping a percentage instead of a flat rate?

Excuse me, I meant to say How can you make the shipping cost a percentage of your total cost instead of by weight?

I just found this because I needed to also not allow customers the ability to register to the site. I looked at the tpl.create_account.php. Unfortunately that was not the correct file, at least partially not correct.

the file you want to edit, is tpl_login_default.php, this is the first file that gets used. This file calls the tpl_create_account.php file to display the create account form on the login page.

Also, there is a setting in admin > configuration > layout settings called "Use split-login page" which controls if the registration page shows on the page or shows a link to the create account page.

if you edit the tpl_login_default.php, there is a big if statement that determines how to show the page based on the above setting. I am keeping my setting to false and removing the code in the lower half of the page, from below <br class="clearboth" /> to just before the <!--EOF normal login --> comment. Leave the ending } in the php tags and the fina </div> otherwise you'll break the code and the layout.

the message in the welcome email is stored in some files in /includes/languages/english/create_account.php and email_extras.php has the copyright message.

be sure to copy these files to a folder that matches the name of your template otherwise and update to zen will wipe out your changes

you can use the table weight shipping module. it has the ability to change shipping based on price, but you'll have to setup ranges of prices with it.
