    Default Unable to change Order Confirmation Email Text

    Hi - I recently updated my site from 1.3.9h to 1.5.1. I have been trying to get all my customizations back in one at a time.
    According to everything I 'think' I know I should be able to change the "Thanks for shopping with us today!" text that is sent in the order confirmation emails.
    By my understanding this is done by going in to includes>languages>english>checkout_process.php and editing the text there. I did that. FYI I did include a couple "/n" s for line breaks if that matters. I changed the text in that file to the following:
    define('EMAIL_THANKS_FOR_SHOPPING','Thank you so very much for ordering from Hoopclothes.com! We appreciate your business, and look forward to you enjoying your purchase fully."\n""\n" Your order will be taken care of promptly.Please note some items may take up to 7 days to ship as noted in the item descriptions. "\n" "\n"blah blah blah etc etc etc');

    Then I re-uploaded the file to includes>languages>english>MY TEMPLATE(fyi andover-modern)>Put File Here.
    This did nothing. Since I figured it really should have done something I went back to includes>languages>english and just overwrote the checkout_process.php file there. Still nothing changed in the order confirmation email text. Gah!!! What's the deal?

    Anyone?

    You have errors in your define ...
    Code:
    define('EMAIL_THANKS_FOR_SHOPPING','Thank you so very much for ordering from Hoopclothes.com! We appreciate your business, and look forward to you enjoying your purchase fully.' . "\n\n" . 'Your order will be taken care of promptly. Please note some items may take up to 7 days to ship as noted in the item descriptions.' . "\n\n" . 'blah blah blah etc etc etc');

    Thanks Ajeh. I made the changes you suggested in the define.
    The order confirmation emails still aren't picking up my text changes. Still all I am getting is 'Thanks for shopping with us today!'

    It says this now in my checkout_process.php:
    define('EMAIL_THANKS_FOR_SHOPPING','Thank you so very much for ordering from Hoopclothes.com! We appreciate your business, and look forward to you enjoying your purchase fully.' . "\n\n" . 'Your order will be taken care of promptly. Please note some items may take up to 7 days to ship as noted in the item descriptions.' . "\n\n" . ' etc');

    That is exactly the problem. It should work on my site too. I have added the file exactly where yours is and its still having no effect on the email text. I can't figure out why. Its weird!
    Where else could it possibly be pulling the Thank you text from?

    Oh interesting! Thank you. Now I've found another problem I think...
    Background info: I re-built the site last week with 1.5.1 in a sub-directory called update and then transferred everything to the public_html from there. I must have missed something because it is still pulling the text for this email (and probably other things?) from the update directory. Specifically the path is /home2/xxx/public_html/update/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

    Now the question is how do I go about getting everything directed to pulling from the right directory? Would this be in the config.php files?

    Check the file, on the server, for the contents in it:
    /includes/configure.php

    and make sure that it is setup correctly for you site ...

    Ok - Before I really go messing stuff by not really knowing what I'm doing...
    I think these are the things I need to change in the includes/configure.php file
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/update/');
    define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/update/');

    define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home2/xxx/public_html/update/');

    define('DIR_FS_LOGS', '/home2/xxx/public_html/update/logs');

    define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home2/xxx/public_html/update/cache');


    So everywhere that is says 'update' should i just take that directory out? And change it for instance to:
    define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

    and
    e('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home2/xxx/public_html/cache');

    Would there also be things in the the admin/includes configure.php that would need to be changed? Probably i imagine.

    That is correct ...

    /update is your old site and / is your current site, if you are trying to reach your site from:
    http://www.your_domain_name.com
