Post Admin name

[ink]

Hi

How do I change the following code to post the actual 'admin_name' from the admin table into the 'sent_fistname' field in the coupon_email_track table?

I think this is the code to alter in the relevent file:

$db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_COUPON_EMAIL_TRACK . "
(coupon_id, customer_id_sent, sent_firstname, emailed_to, date_sent)
values ('" . $insert_id ."', '0', 'Admin',
'" . $mail['customers_email_address'] . "', now() )");


Thanks.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Looks like he wants to add

this coupon was sent curtesy of ( admin real name here )

The following bolded statement is the one you need to modify from your quote above:

$db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_COUPON_EMAIL_TRACK . "
(coupon_id, customer_id_sent, sent_firstname, emailed_to, date_sent)
values ('" . $insert_id ."', '0', 'Admin',
'" . $mail['customers_email_address'] . "', now() )");

it should be changed into the existent string that actually gathers the sender's firstname.

I totally agree, what I want to substitute it with is, the detail of whatever the admin user who is logged in at the time is.

For example, say John who works for us, is logged in to the admin backend of the store sends a credit to a customer, it would show him as the sender on the report.

Hope you follow if not please feel free to let me know.

I thought ... it was already like that.

I'd sure be happy to make this modification. I will post the results shortly (if no one else post it before I do).

this is only hindered by the fact that unless you use your employees real names for usernames it could look rather funny.
