Email Welcome stack error

[postig]

Hi,

I installed ZC 1.3.9 with two languages.

Everything works well to choose the new language, send emails and subscribe newsletters.

BUT... In the Admin, when I go to "Tools>Email Welcome"

a pink stripe appear at the top of the page with the message "header".

It is a class="messageStackError".

In the welcome email of THAT language, the email header doesn't appear.

BUT... if I switch to English to see the email welcome tool, the stripe disappears... the email header appears... and, finally, the Zencart Admin logo also disappears.

I believe there are 2 problems in the same page, but I don't know how to solve them.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Simple: Don't use that screen. It's ONLY a preview anyway, and doesn't always work well in a multi-lingual case especially if the language files for the added languages aren't complete (missing defines, missing files, images, etc) or your haven't created the email templates for the additional languages.

Much better to create new customer accounts so that you send ACTUAL real emails out. That's the true test of ensuring it works correctly anyway. And that's your best workaround.

Hooray, I think I found the answer

at least to 1 of the 2 problems (as I suspected...)

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88305

No Stack Error anymore, Email Logo visible in every language.



Only 1 problem left:

Zencart Admin header is without logo, and

"Check for Updates to Zen Cart
(You are presently using: v1.3.9h)"

is not aligned...

This only happens in the Email Welcome page, and in both languages...

If you have a clue, please tell me

Why is the header of Admin Email Welcome page getting images from a different place from all other pages?

Instead of /zencart/images/logo.gif

it should be /zencart/admin/images/logo.gif


The same is happening with the "current version" button.


Possibly, it has something to do with "require language template"

in admin/email_welcome.php:

 if (file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . (($template_dir=='') ? '' : '/'.$template_dir) .'/' . 'create_account.php')) {

    require(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . (($template_dir=='') ? '' : '/'.$template_dir) . '/' . 'create_account.php');

  } else {

    require(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . 'create_account.php');

  } 

Anyone knows how to correct this?

Thanks

I'm not sure what you've changed, or what you've got wrong on your site. I can't replicate the problems you're describing when looking at my fresh clean uncustomized install of v1.3.9h.

If your DIR_FS_xxxxx or DIR_WS_xxxxx settings have been tampered with then it might start looking in the wrong places.

However, the email-welcome screen is NOT a true representation of normal use. And the only way it can SOMEWHAT emulate SOME of the store-side operation in order to TRY to show a SAMPLE of what the welcome email MIGHT look like, is to use store-side paths to find the store-side files including languages and images and email templates, etc. If you are tampering with any of the paths then I'm not surprised if it stops working.

Thanks for your answer.

Well, I tell you what I did...

I installed a brand new Zencart just to compare the code.

Since the only add-on I installed related with E-mail files was Newsletter Subscribe 2.2.2 for ZC 1.3.9, I believe that something in it (I don't know what) is affecting the Welcome Email Page.

The only differences I see in the code (not present in the original ZC) are related to the CSS styling of the Newsletter. It doesn't have anything to do with the "corrupted" header of Welcome Email Page.

It doesn't bother me, as long as it doesn't affect anything else.

So, for now, I give up of finding the cause.
