Welcome Emails

[Neil725]

I have been searching this site for over an hour now and appologise if this question has already been asked i just haven't found it.
Does anybody know where in Zen 1.3.8 you can edit the welcome email i have just the standard one that has downloaded and installed with the software and there is a few things in it i would like to change?

Thanks in advance.

The email text in v1.3.x is built by combining several language components together at the time the email is sent.
The fastest way to find the file where the text is contained is to select a few words from the content you want to change and do a search for them using the Developers Toolkit in the admin. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=38 and https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=39
Then use your FTP program to download the appropriate file, make edits to the file using a text editor such as notepad++ and then upload the changed file back to the server.

Ideally, if you're going to be making several changes, you would also be sure to create an override folder for your customized template and stuff your edited file into that folder instead of overwriting the original. You can see more about adding/editing templates in the FAQ area, as well as discussions on how override folders work.

I have found the problem but don't know how to resolve it without a re-install when i set zencart up i left everything defaulted so the welcome email now gets sent out signed http://localhost/ and i need to change it to
http:// www. se x st ore suk.dynalias.com (spaces added)
any ideas how i can do it without re-installing everything and starting again?

Thanks in advance

I have tried the developers toolkit but can't find the signiture all i get is dr_ws e.t.c

I have resolved it so that it has just knocked the http://localhost off the bottom but still shows everything else on the email.

If anybody else is trying to edit the Email Welcome file, you can find two versions of it in the following locations:
/includes/languages/english/create_account.php
/includes/languages/english/YOUR TEMPLATE/create_account.php

If you look through these files you'll find the text used to generate the email.
