Email Error: Data not accepted.

In your first response, you told me to create that file and upload it to includes/extra_datafiles, which I did. Then you said the results might be "ugly". I was asking how I could see the results.

I'm digging into the blank email address problem. I think it has to do with one of 2 mods - Add'l Customers Fields (what a disaster!) or Super Orders 2.0. No responses from their support forums, and whatever fixes were suggested in previous posts for what might have been the same or similar problem were tried without success.

OK, I'm digging...

Sorry, I completely missed that. Not enough sleep.

Setting the email debug level using that method "should" cause all the communications between your server and your mailserver to be show on-screen when an email is sent.
It's possible that it may only affect SMTP mode, and not other transport methods.

OK, I get it. Now for the $64m question:

I have very carefully installed modules and copied some overrides from the real site to the demo site, and so far all is working great. In fact, it looks like the Add'l Cust Fields was indeed the culprit (although, to be fair, it could have been the many edits I made to that mod due to constant bugs, updates, etc.) Thank God I found a way to work without it!

Because of these many mod edits, and many with overrides, etc., I think the safest way to produce a good working site is to use the new demo site instead of the original real site. I have a pretty good idea which files to copy over, and how, but I'm worried about the db tables. The only critical data needed from the (let's now say "old" and "new") old site is the categories, subcategories, and products data. You think it's OK to use phpMyAdmin's export/import routines to copy the relevant files from old site's db over to new? Looking at the tables, it seems I really only need the 2 category tables, and the dozen or so products files. Or are these files linked to a bunch of other files to such an extent that this would not be a good idea?

Your call, and I think I'll get this site done! Thanks again.

If you're comfortable using phpMyAdmin to manage and manipulate database content, then this grouped database schema doc may help you extract the data you're looking for:

I hope none of the mods you tested have made structural changes to the tables you plan to transfer...

Doc,

You have been TERRIFIC! All the modules I need have been installed and tested, and everything works - even some nifty things I never saw because they didn't work in the old site!

Thanks for everything!
