Email Defines - Unsubscribe Link

[Webskipper]

Looking to better organize the email traffic.

How is an unsubscribe email added to admin?

Need to change the unsubscribe links and references in the newsletters and emails to send unsubscribe email to unsubscribe@yoursite

/includes/languages/email_extras.php

Line 28: define('EMAIL_DISCLAIMER'

If you feel that you have received this email in error, please send an email to %s '

Line 31:

define('TEXT_UNSUBSCRIBE', "\n\nTo unsubscribe from future newsletter and promotional mailings, simply click on the following link: \n");

Line 34:

define('EMAIL_ADVISORY', '-----' . "\n" . '<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> For your protection and to prevent malicious use, all emails sent via this web site are logged and the contents recorded and available to the store owner. If you feel that you have received this email in error, please send an email to ' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . "\n\n");

Thanks in advance!

So, now that you've located the name of the constant TEXT_UNSUBSCRIBE, go back to the developer toolkit and look it up. You'll find all the places in the code where it's used, and then you can customize the PHP to suit your unique needs.

Thanks well, thats what I did and that all there is.

What really needs to be done Doc is to add another function or define.

Once the unsubscribe email is added to Admin Control panel > E-Mail Options then we can make the fixes on the affected pages to capture the unsubscribe traffic.

The define('TEXT_UNSUBSCRIBE is fine after all because it will unsubscribe the client's actual email address.

I'm targeting the // email disclaimer area (email extras.php)

STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS link to change it to UNSUBSCRIBE_EMAIL_ADDRESS

Um, no. If that's all there was, then the text would never show up in the emails.

I'm targeting the // email disclaimer area (email extras.php)

STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS link to change it to UNSUBSCRIBE_EMAIL_ADDRESS

As you wish. You're free to do as you wish to suit your needs.
In fact, since that's just a language string, if you edit it directly then you've accomplished the end result with just a few keystrokes and no programming changes. Indeed that's the recommended approach. But, I figured you'd know that thus the other reply earlier.

Sorry, never have coded these sql patches.

No idea how to do an insert into patch. Please advise.

There's no need to do any SQL stuff. Just edit the language file and it's all done.

Just seems silly to have the store owner email as unsubscribe.

Certainly there is a way to properly add an unsubscribe email address to the Admin Email Options page.

Just seems silly to have the store owner email as unsubscribe.

Why? If the customer is receiving newsletters from that address, wouldn't it be logical that they reply to that address if they wish to unsubscribe?
