admin/configuration/email options issue

[E-man]

I am using v 1.5.6c
I am currently experimenting before getting my site online. everything is working good except in the admin->configuration->email options. it states in send copy of ...etc the format should be name1<[email protected]>, name 2<[email protected]> etc.

when I click update the < and > get converted to html code

>

causing my store managers sales people not to get email notifications.

Thanks in advance to any advice.

This is a bug in 1.5.6 which is fixed in 1.5.7. For now, you have to use phpMyAdmin if you want to update that field and include the name in angle brackets.

[E-man]

any Idea where to look in the database?

You want to modify the CONTACT_US_LIST record in the configuration table. Make a backup of your database first just in case you fat-finger this.

UPDATE configuration SET configuration_value = 'Name 1 <email@address1>, Name 2 <email@address2>' WHERE configuration_key = 'CONTACT_US_LIST';

Thank you, that worked.
since the site is not online I thought I'd experiment and also found that by disabling the htmlspecialchar calls in adminsanitizer I could edit them in the admin page the reset the sanitizer back (that part of the admin area shouldn't need much changes in my needs)

again thank you for your swift response!

You can see the prototype for the code fix I made here:

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/3198

but 1.5.7 uses a completely different approach (PHP filter_var), so this wasn't merged.
