Email mod's etc

[adb34]

I am stuck and lost.

I am wanting to modify tge enail sent to my customers after checkout to include the new UK DSR regulations, but I have hit a brick wall. I have tried to follow the code in the pages that make up the email components however I cannot follow them. I have searched the FAQ & Wiki for answers but drawn a blank. So I have a couple of questions (sorry);

1. What is the subject that I should be searching for in the FAQ & Wiki?
2. Should I ‘define’ what I want to say in checkout_process.php and then call that statement in order.php?

Once I have made the changes I can then upload them for zencart community to use.

Thank you for your time

The *simplest* way is to add it to the existing EMAIL_DISCLAIMER definition, as that requires no rewriting of the order class or email templates.

I'd suggest this, in your email_extras.php file, around line 27:

  if (!defined('OFFICE_IP_TO_HOST_ADDRESS')) define('OFFICE_IP_TO_HOST_ADDRESS', 'OFF');

  define('EMAIL_UK_DSR_REGULATIONS_TEXT', "Put your text here.");
// email disclaimer
  define('EMAIL_DISCLAIMER', EMAIL_UK_DSR_REGULATIONS_TEXT . "\n\n" . 'This email address was given to us by you or by one of our customers. If you feel that you have received this email in error, please send an email to %s ');
  define('EMAIL_SPAM_DISCLAIMER' ...

Remember, the "Put your text here." part is enclosed with double-quotes, so if you actual text that you enter contains any double-quotes, then write them as \" (add a backslash before them) else you'll get PHP syntax errors.

And if you need to add any line-breaks, use \n

Will this way, put the info in the footer of the email? If it does then no problem to start with but I would like to put it further up the email.

It puts it below the payment details, which are just after the shipping details.

Fantastic. I will give it a go and get back.

Thank you

Thank you, it is doing what it says on the tin. Just a little problem, might be my fault, I would like the info on a separate line. I thought "/n" means new line.

"\n" not "/n".

Sorry I put the wrong symbol down here not in the script; however the problem is still there.
