Resend Email Functionality

[Fjolsvith]

Well, being the impatient type, I wrote this feature. I had to modify the order.php class to store the initial email information in a table, and then I modified the admin/orders.php class to show a button on an order and also retrieve the information and resend the email.

I will see if I can get it wrapped up and uploaded as a module.

Have you looked at the Email Archive Manager! https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=101
Theres no modifying files, just turning on an existing table, has the resend ability.

Remember though that the issue is the email address "is wrong" as part of the resend it needs to go to the correct/new address. In the stored data isn't the email address specifically stored not necessarily the customer_id? (of course could also be modified to accomplish that task though).

I've not had any issues with resending having the wrong address!!

Personally, I would just recreate using the customer existing data and send it. Then you wouldn't need to store what was sent to resend.

Dave,

You might want to re-read the part about wrong address. If the customer enters the wrong address (customreATgmail.com vs customerATgmail.com), then the database would contain the wrong address when used to resend the email ($to_address).

If the mod does not have the feature, it would be nice to have the update of a customer also update the $to_address if the customer's email is changed.

Not familiar with the mod. Perhaps the DEVELOPER_OVERRIDE_EMAIL_ADDRESS takes care of this?

It does not. That constant, if non-blank, identifies that all emails will be sent to the email-address(es) listed ... overriding any/all customer and/or admin-set email addresses.

Sorry, missed that part... was looking more at the stored part..

While back I had written a admin page for testing html email formats and some other code I was working on for my login page that required an active account... Other than a button tagging the user email and id, then posted to a standalone page for review before sending. After I was done designing I trashed the code. I'll see if I can find or recreate the page as another option...
