problem with emailed order status updates foot link of company name showing the admin

[travbacon]

hi.

i have a problem, when i email a status order update, the part of the email at the bottom

Your order has been updated to the following status:
New status: PROCESSING
Please reply to this email if you have any questions.
[company name]
copyright (c) 2020 [company name] <<< this part shows the company name but the link goes to my admin back end.

i checked the template in /email/email_template_order_status.html and the code is right

<!-- Footer Section -->
<div class="footer">
<div class="copyright">$EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT</div>
</div>

where am i missing to correct this? thanks.

Check - YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php where that link originates:

define('EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT','Copyright (c) ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>');

Check - YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php where that link originates:

define('EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT','Copyright (c) ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '" target="_blank">' . STORE_NAME . '</a>');

thank you for your reply. that is what exactly i have. so i do not know why it is linking to the back end. the welcome email and cc'd of orders do not show the back end link at the footer, only these order status updates.

I would then trace FILENAME_DEFAULT and STORE_NAME values then check if there's a module that bridged the two or if something was missing/overwritten starting at the email_extras in admin and reviewing what's going on in the live site/override system email_extras.php.

Email me if you'd like me to have a quick look.

... and that would be the issue. During admin processing, the function zen_href_link creates an admin-based link. That line should be changed (on the admin-side only) to use the zen_catalog_href_link function instead.

Hi. I created another thread just yesterday and did a search on my posts and sorry, I JUST saw your reply from last year. Can you still help? Thanks

The suggestion in my previous post from 2020 still stands. You've apparently modified the /admin/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php to include the site's link, but you need to use the correct version of the zen_{catalog_}href_link function so that the link's generated for the storefront rather than the admin.
