Need Welcome email to contain Office Use Only information

Hi fellow zenners,

I want to display the "Office Use Only" information section in the Welcome email that is sent to customers, not just in the admin copied email.

I started by trying to move this code located in includes/modules/create_account.php:

$extra_info=email_collect_extra_info($name,$email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax']);
      $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];

to right below this line:

$html_msg['EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML']  = str_replace('\n','',EMAIL_TEXT);
    $html_msg['EMAIL_CONTACT_OWNER'] = str_replace('\n','',EMAIL_CONTACT);
    $html_msg['EMAIL_CLOSURE']       = nl2br(EMAIL_GV_CLOSURE);

Am I at least on the right path?

I don't think the includes/languages/english/create_account.php file nor the includes/languages/english/email_extras.php files need to be modified...but I am obviously primative at PHP programming so I could be wrong.

My theory is that there is an if statement somewhere that says...
"if this is an admin copy of the email...then print Office Use Only in the email" - basically I need to take away this condition.

Thanks a million always to the awesome zen community for your help.

Dare I ask why?

:blush:

My client feels that this might clear confusion, should it arise from customers. I told her that the "from" is redundat, the email too, account name, login email...well just about all of it is redundant.

The client may think that if this is there in the email, then information would more likely be verified, or to prevent unwanted account openings.

Thank you,

I agree with you that it's redundant. And I think it even makes things look unprofessional (ie: customers don't ever expect to see stuff intended only for the store administrator).

Nevertheless, if it's necessary to do it, change this:```
// send welcome email
zen_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome');

// send additional emails
if (SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_STATUS == '1' and SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO !='') {
  if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
    $account_query = "select customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address, customers_telephone, customers_fax
                        from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                        where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";

    $account = $db->Execute($account_query);
  }

  $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info($name,$email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax']);
  $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
  zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_SUBJECT,
  $email_text . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome_extra');
} //endif send extra emails

by re-arranging it somewhat so it's like this:
if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
$account_query = "select customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address, customers_telephone, customers_fax
from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
where customers_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['customer_id'] . "'";

    $account = $db->Execute($account_query);
  }

  $extra_info=email_collect_extra_info($name,$email_address, $account->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $account->fields['customers_lastname'], $account->fields['customers_email_address'], $account->fields['customers_telephone'], $account->fields['customers_fax']);
  $html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];
// send welcome email
zen_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome');

// send additional emails
if (SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_STATUS == '1' and SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO !='') {
  zen_mail('', SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO, SEND_EXTRA_CREATE_ACCOUNT_EMAILS_TO_SUBJECT . ' ' . EMAIL_SUBJECT,
  $email_text . $extra_info['TEXT'], STORE_NAME, EMAIL_FROM, $html_msg, 'welcome_extra');
} //endif send extra emails

I wouldn't edit any language files for it, unless you wanted to change the words "Office Use Only" to something else.

Worked like charm Dr. Byte!!!!:clap:

I changed the includes/modules/create_account.php file as suggested.

I agree that this will also look unprofessional to a customer and will take your suggestion by changing the
/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php define statement here

define('OFFICE_USE','<strong>Office Use Only:</strong>');

to say something like:

define('OFFICE_USE','<strong>Confidential Use Only:</strong>');

...or something like that.

Thanks a million!
