Making Changes in Email_extras.php

[archers]

I want an extra filed, i.e Company Name to be received in Email while a customer creates a New Account... I tried adding the following code:

define('OFFICE_COMPANY_NAME','<strong>Company Name:</strong>');

at line 20 in \includes\languages\english\email_extras.php

... but it doesn't make the difference to the output email. Any suggestions, where else to make changes, so that it works ?

You don't say where within the email you want the company name value to appear, but the module /includes/modules/create_account.php handles that email formatting and output.

You'll want to make your edits in your template-override folder, so if your template name is mytemplate you need to:

1. Copy /includes/modules/create_account.php to /includes/modules/mytemplate/create_account.php (creating this folder if it doesn't already exist)
2. Make your edits to /includes/modules/mytemplate/create_account.php

Hi, thanks for the response...
I wanted to make edit in the email received, which at the end reads "Office Use Only", by inserting in Company Name (which user enters), after Login Email, whose code is provided in the file: Email_extras.php ?

Office Use Only:
From: ####################____
Email: ******######################
Login Name: ##############################__
Login Email: *****######################
Company Name: ####################___
Telephone:
Fax:
IP Address:
Host Address:
Date and Time:

I am not sure how it can be edited in create_account.php.

You'll actually need to edit two files:
1. /includes/modules/mytemplate/create_account.php. Here's a code fragment that starts at line 415 in v1.5.1:

    // send additional emails
    if (SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_STATUS == '1' and SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO !='') {
      if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
        $account_query = "select customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address, customers_telephone, customers_fax
                            from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                            where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";

        $account = $db->Execute($account_query);
      }

      $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info($name,$email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax']);
      $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
      if (trim(SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT) != 'n/a') zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_SUBJECT,
      $email_text . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome_extra');
    } //endif send extra emails

You'll change this to:

    // send additional emails
    if (SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_STATUS == '1' and SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO !='') {
      if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
        $account_query = "select customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address, customers_telephone, customers_fax
                            from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                            where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";

        $account = $db->Execute($account_query);
      }

      $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info($name,$email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax'], $company);
      $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
      if (trim(SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT) != 'n/a') zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_SUBJECT,
      $email_text . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome_extra');
    } //endif send extra emails

2. /includes/functions/functions_email.php. Note that this is a core-file edit and the file will be changed again in v1.6.0! Make a backup copy (functions_email.php.v151) before you start! Change the function email_collect_extra_info to include the company input:

  function email_collect_extra_info($from, $email_from, $login, $login_email, $login_phone='', $login_fax='', $company='') {
    // get host_address from either session or one time for both email types to save server load
    if (!$_SESSION['customers_host_address']) {
      if (SESSION_IP_TO_HOST_ADDRESS == 'true') {
        $email_host_address = @gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
      } else {
        $email_host_address = OFFICE_IP_TO_HOST_ADDRESS;
      }
    } else {
      $email_host_address = $_SESSION['customers_host_address'];
    }

    // generate footer details for "also-send-to" emails
    $extra_info=array();
    $extra_info['TEXT'] =
      OFFICE_USE . "\t" . "\n" .
      OFFICE_FROM . "\t" . $from . "\n" .
      OFFICE_EMAIL. "\t" . $email_from . "\n" .
      (trim($login) !='' ? OFFICE_LOGIN_NAME . "\t" . $login . "\n"  : '') .
      (trim($login_email) !='' ? OFFICE_LOGIN_EMAIL . "\t" . $login_email . "\n"  : '') .
      ($login_phone !='' ? OFFICE_LOGIN_PHONE . "\t" . $login_phone . "\n" : '') .
      ($login_fax !='' ? OFFICE_LOGIN_FAX . "\t" . $login_fax . "\n" : '') .
      ($company != '' ? 'Company Name:' . "\t" . $company . "\n": '') .
      OFFICE_IP_ADDRESS . "\t" . $_SESSION['customers_ip_address'] . ' - ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n" .
      OFFICE_HOST_ADDRESS . "\t" . $email_host_address . "\n" .
      OFFICE_DATE_TIME . "\t" . date("D M j Y G:i:s T") . "\n\n";

    $extra_info['HTML'] = '<table class="extra-info">' .
      '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold" colspan="2">' . OFFICE_USE . '</td></tr>' .
      '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_FROM . '</td><td>' . $from . '</td></tr>' .
      '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_EMAIL. '</td><td>' . $email_from . '</td></tr>' .
      ($login !='' ? '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_LOGIN_NAME . '</td><td>' . $login . '</td></tr>' : '') .
      ($login_email !='' ? '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_LOGIN_EMAIL . '</td><td>' . $login_email . '</td></tr>' : '') .
      ($login_phone !='' ? '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_LOGIN_PHONE . '</td><td>' . $login_phone . '</td></tr>' : '') .
      ($login_fax !='' ? '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_LOGIN_FAX . '</td><td>' . $login_fax . '</td></tr>' : '') .
      ($company != '' ? '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . 'Company Name:' . '</td><td>' . $company . '</td></tr>' : '') .
      '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_IP_ADDRESS . '</td><td>' . $_SESSION['customers_ip_address'] . ' - ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . '</td></tr>' .
      '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_HOST_ADDRESS . '</td><td>' . $email_host_address . '</td></tr>' .
      '<tr><td class="extra-info-bold">' . OFFICE_DATE_TIME . '</td><td>' . date('D M j Y G:i:s T') . '</td></tr>' . '</table>';
    return $extra_info;
  }

Ya, the changes to functions_email for v160 are here: https://github.com/zencart/zencart/c...867cdc615f64cf ... and would make your changes slightly simpler.
