Make a sale, get a text message

[swguy]

If you are using email archiving (Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Archiving Active?)
and you do not want to archive your SMS message emails, edit the file

includes/classes/observers/class.msg_owner.php

and change "msg_owner" in the call to zen_mail to "no_archive", i.e.

zen_mail('Shop Owner', $this->owner_phone, $email_title, $email_text, STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $empty_block, "no_archive",'');

Some people have asked for the ability to easily turn this feature off and on - for instance, off during the week and on during the weekend. I will release an updated version of SMS on Sale with this feature in early February.

why not just use the send extra order emails to and put in the [email protected]

[swguy]

This is discussed in the FAQ. The trouble with this solution is that most providers limit their SMS messages to 100-200 characters, and with the regular Zen email, the body is truncated before anything interesting is printed. SMS on sale provides the key data in a short package.

The FAQ is at http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zencart_sms_on_sale.html

New version now available with the ability to turn off and on from the admin screen.

If you are using Paypal IPN, you will need to do a bit of additional work to make SMS on Sale work. Edit the file ipn_main_handler.php at the top level of your store, find the line

   $order->send_order_email($insert_id, 2);

it's line 219 in 1.3.7. Change this to:

   $order->send_order_email($insert_id, 2);
   require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'observers/class.msg_owner.php');
   $mo = new msg_owner();
   $mo->update($this, 'NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL');

Thanks to s_mack for taking the time to describe this approach in another thread.

There were several files involved in the install; you will need to back out all the changes. Delete the new files, restore the changed files.

Just the files assosiated with SMS Module or all the changes i made to the original ZenCart?? I have customized almost all the modules to meet my requirements and design.

Is there a way to just take out the SMS module completely and reinstall it??

Thanks,
AP
