Dear Mr 'Name'... How to change

[warstormer]

Hi, I'm currently getting create account confirmation emails with Dear Mr /Ms. 'Name'. The code in create_account.php is:

define('EMAIL_GREET_MR', 'Dear Mr. %s,' . "\n\n");

define('EMAIL_GREET_MS', 'Dear Ms. %s,' . "\n\n");

define('EMAIL_GREET_NONE', 'Dear %s' . "\n\n");

What should be replaced/added where %s is?

Thanks....

That would be true of /includes/languages/english/create_account.php, which is where the text used on any page e.g. the Create Account page is defined.

That text is used in the matching filename in the /includes/modules folder, i.e. /includes/modules/create_account.php which does the actual grunt work of producing the page or anything else required. e.g. an email to the customer and admin.

In there, you will find

if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {
if ($gender == 'm') {
$email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MR, $lastname);
} else {
$email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MS, $lastname);
}
} else {
$email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_NONE, $firstname);

which translates to 'replace %s with firstname or lastname as entered, as appropriate'

Ah, I should probably explain that I'm trying to tidy up an old version of zen (1.26) so there isn't an includes/modules/create_account.php file.... I know it should be upgraded but not up to me at the mo...

I did find some of the code you displayed in includes/modules/pages/create_account/header_php.php as in:

Line #724 : $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MR, $lastname);

Indeed , I was about to tell you to look in /includes/modules/pages/create_account/header_php.php.
That is where it lived prior to version 1.3

But if that text is already there in includes/modules/pages/create account/header_php.php why does the email keep saying Dear Mr 'Name'?
