Edit Welcome Email Message

I need to change the text information in my stores welcome email. I have Zen 1.26 and have looked everywhere in the directories to find the file that I need to edit. I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know the file name and location so I can edit my email welcome message? I have done it in the past but can't remember how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. James

Re: Edit Welcome Email Message

Te, admin panel/ tools/ developers tool kit

  1. just search for any part of the wording in the welcome email, and you will find the .php file associated with it
  2. Not sure if this is what you are wanting to do... to edit the content of the welcome email go to the file:

includes\languages\english\create_account.php

at around line 36 you will find the 'define('EMAIL_TEXT'... here you can change the content of the email.. make back-ups before editing and remember to save the file in your custom template folder

Re: Edit Welcome Email Message

Thanks for your response. I have checked that file out (create_account.php) and it doesn't contain any of the text that my customers are receiving in their welcome emails. I searched all language files in both the Catalogue and Admin for the text string "Valid for all of 2008 and 2009" that is contained within the welcome email and when I complete the search it returns no results for this text or any other text I search for that is included in a copy of the email that is sent out by the system. Somewhere within the system there must be a file that contains this text as it is sent out for each new registration. Any other ideas?

Re: Edit Welcome Email Message

Are you referring to a coupon code that you've set up for your new customers to receive?

a) coupons are set up and text descriptions set via Admin->Gift Certificates/Coupons->Coupon Admin b) coupon codes for new customer signups are assigned in Admin->Configuration->GV/Coupons

Re: Edit Welcome Email Message

Hi, I'm having the same problem. At some point during set up of my Zencart I added a personal note about the Welcome New Customer email coupon. I now, no longer want to offer a discount coupon when signing up for an account.

I've turned off the coupons. But it still sends a welcome email with the discount coupon message in there.

I've looked in all the recommended PhP's listed above in previous threads - to no avail.

Here's the part I want to remove (underlined):
