Altering the Gift Coupon email

[PeteH]

Hi,

Searched hi and lo, so apologies if this is posted elsewhere ...

I am trying to remove the url code with the added redemption code from the "you've been sent a gift voucher" email. I have been in and out of every file I can think of but this one has beaten me.

The process of redeeming vouchers is, imho, a little long-winded. I'd prefer the simple step of inviting receivers to open an account and entering the redemption code at the checkout. The url code with the redemption code in, simply confuses the issue.

Help appreciated.

Pete

You'll have to edit core files to remove this functionality:

/includes/modules/pages/gv_send/header_php.php
put a // comment before these lines:

line 162:

      $html_msg['GV_REDEEM_URL'] = '<a href="'.zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_REDEEM, 'gv_no=' . $id1, 'NONSSL', false).'">'.EMAIL_GV_LINK.'</a>';

line 166:

      $gv_email .= EMAIL_GV_LINK . ' ' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_GV_REDEEM, 'gv_no=' . $id1, 'NONSSL', false);;

/admin/gv_mail.php
put a /* before and a */ after this block of code:
lines 122-128

      if (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') {
        $message .= HTTP_SERVER  . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'index.php/gv_redeem/gv_no/'.$id1 . "\n\n";
        $html_msg['GV_CODE_URL']  = '<a href="'.HTTP_SERVER  . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'index.php/gv_redeem/gv_no/'.$id1.'">' .TEXT_CLICK_TO_REDEEM . '</a>'. "&nbsp;";
      } else {
        $message .= HTTP_SERVER  . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'index.php?main_page=gv_redeem&gv_no='.$id1 . "\n\n";
        $html_msg['GV_CODE_URL']  =  '<a href="'. HTTP_SERVER  . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'index.php?main_page=gv_redeem&gv_no='.$id1 .'">' .TEXT_CLICK_TO_REDEEM . '</a>' . "&nbsp;";
      }

You'll likely also want to edit the define() statement for TEXT_OR_VISIT in the admin language file for gv_mail

DrB ... I was half there in my searches but code altered and the business sorted ... if only everything in life was a quick and simple.

Cheers,
