Modify the welcome email?

When a customer makes a user/pass he becomes a registered user. Zen cart sends out a welcome email. How can I modify this email?

Thanks.

You can change the Welcome Email message in:

/includes/languages/english/create_account.php

Save your changes to /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/create_account.php (where YOUR_TEMPLATE is the name of your custom template).

Thanks - but is there a simpler interface to edit email(s)?

Alternatively, do you know of a way to stop this email from going out?

Re: Modify the welcome email?

Under configuration, choose customer details. Set the e-mail salutation to false. This should stop the welcome e-mail from going out, but as always, run a test after you make the change. :D

How would turning off the salutation (Mr/Mrs/Ms) turn off the email?

The changes I made to mine when I saved it to YOUR_TEMPLATE ... didn't do the trick, I could only see my customized email when I changed the php file I mentioned previously. But hey, I'm still learning here too, what I do know is don't over write the original no matter where you get it from, sometimes you have to put things back to the way they were to fix errors LOL

Oh and .. there is an option in the email options to turn off emails.. but that might stop order confirmations from going out as well.

Best bet is to modify your php file.

Hope something here helps you :lookaroun
