Trouble with email_extras.php

[kehrli]

I'm having a small, dumb, yet strangely annoying problem:

I've tried to change the copyright notice at the bottom of my emails. The email templates are using the variable EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT, which is found in store/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php. I changed the definition there, and then saved the file to store/includes/languages/english/template_name/email_extras.php. The change didn't take place.

I've logged out of ZenAdmin, shut down the browser, cleared my private data including file caches, and even copied the new email_extras over the original file (in frustration). However, the original EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT definition keeps being used. I don't even know where it's coming from anymore. I downloaded my entire site, then did a windows grep of my site for EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT, and every one of them is my definition. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Anyone have an idea what could be going on here?

Thanks, Mike

If you only change it in the /includes area, and not also in the /admin/includes area, then your admin emails won't see the new footer text.

Yep, that was it. Thanks.

Now to find out how come Windows Grep found every other file with that variable in it except that one... I tell ya, I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Admin->Tools->Developers Toolkit ... can be very handy ...

"I see", said the blind carpenter, who picked up his hammer and saw.

I've never used those before, but by golly, it worked, and I will in the future. Thanks again.
