Email Header not showing

[Kcin]

When I send an email from the Admin panel, the image doesn't render in the email. I get the generic missing picture icon. I have updated the header.jpg file to my own, it is definitely there, I have verified it's path in the browser.

I looked in the email templates and for those of you who already know this stuff, it appears that the image source is stored in a variable container of some sort.

src="$EMAIL_LOGO_FILE"

I used the developers toolkit to try to find that text in any file, and it was nowhere other than the email themselves. I thought for sure this would be ste in the CSS file, but no. Where can I find where the path for that image is stored so that I can check and/or fix it as necessary?

You probably didn't update the email_extras.php language file in your admin when you upgraded.

There are two:
- /your_admin_folder/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php
- /includes/languages/english/email_extras.php

so if I don't have something in either of those php files, what do I need to add to it in order to get my header image working?

I tried this based on what I saw in the file already, but it didn't work. Yes, I verified that the path works.

define('EMAIL_LOGO_FILE','http://MYDOMAIN.com/email/header.jpg');

At the top of the as-shipped versions of the admin and storefront email_extras.php language file, you'll see the following definitions:

  define ('EMAIL_LOGO_FILENAME', 'header.jpg');  //-File is present in /email folder
  define ('EMAIL_LOGO_WIDTH', '550');
  define ('EMAIL_LOGO_HEIGHT', '110');
  define ('EMAIL_LOGO_ALT_TITLE_TEXT', 'Zen Cart! The Art of E-commerce');

Those constants are used by the zen_mail function, present in /includes/functions/functions_email.php to insert those values into the appropriate spots within your email templates.

Interesting. I wonder what I did that overwrote those values. Thanks!

Probably using language files from an older version of Zen Cart.
