Simple question about welcome email

Hi,

While I understand how to edit the welcome email that customers receive when they create a new account, I noticed that the email address them by last name. I would prefer it used their first name. Anyone help me on changing this?

(I notice on the main page of the cart when you login it uses first names.)

Thanks in advance!

If you set the Email Salutation to FALSE in Admin->Configuration->Customer Details, it will greet them by first-name instead. That will also remove the option to select their salutation preference (gender choice in v1.3.x) in their account details.

Thank you; I knew it had to be somewhere! Thanks so much!!!

What if you still want to collect salutation account info but you want the welcome email to say Dear First Name?

How would this be done please.

Thanks

That would require customizing the send_order_email() code in your /includes/classes/order.php to suit your unique personal preference.
