help with welcome email

Hi

almost at the point of going live with our Zen Cart
this forum has been very helpfull,

I am trying to re-word my email welcome message
I have located and changed most of the text that I need,
which I found in /includes/languages/english/create_account.php

what I would like to do is replace our web site address with a more user friendly URL https://www.lanciabetaparts.co.uk (which links to the Zen address) I have tried a few things but every time screwed up the code.

any advise, thanks

I have tried a few things but every time screwed up the code.
Post the code and file you are attempting to change

includes/languages/english/create_account.php

what I'm trying to do is change the website under at the bottom of the welcome email to https://www.lanciabetaparts.co.uk

I would like to remove the web link: http://betaboyz.myzen.co.uk/cart/

and replace it with: http://www.lanciabetaparts.co.uk/

this is the text at the end of the email welcome

Sincerely,

Mark Wastnidge
BetaBoyz

http://betaboyz.myzen.co.uk/cart/

below is a copy of the code.

define('EMAIL_TEXT', 'With your account, you can now take part in the <strong>various services</strong> we have to offer you. Some of these services include:' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Permanent Cart</strong> - Any products added to your online cart remain there until you remove them, or check them out.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong></strong> ' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Order History</strong> - View your history of purchases that you have made with us.' . "\n\n" . '<li><strong>Products Reviews</strong> - Share your opinions on products with our other customers.' . "\n\n");
define('EMAIL_CONTACT', 'For help with any of our online services, please email the store-owner: <a href="mailto:' . STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '">'. STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS ." </a>\n\n");
define('EMAIL_GV_CLOSURE','Sincerely,' . "\n\n" . STORE_OWNER . "\nBetaBoyz\n\n". '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'.HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ."</a>\n\n");

I must ask the question "why?"

The URL is built using the same information that builds all the links in your store. So, changing the address on the emails would lead to potential confusion ... similar confusion to having someone buy something from website ABC and having "XYZ" show up on their credit-card statement, which usually results in cause for alarm and potentially even chargebacks and cancelled payments, resulting in blackmarks on your business record/relationship with your bank.

Is there a particularly important reason why you're running your website from an address that is not the address you want your customers to see?

Hi

I run a car club and we also sell parts

the main link we will using to the parts page https://www.lanciabetaparts.co.uk

this redirects to the cart location, the full URL of this is: http://betaboyz.myzen.co.uk/cart/

If I can use the same URL as the one we advitise it would look more professional.

We only sell via Paypal so no need to use credit cards.

thanks Tony,

If you want to run your site from the lancia domain name, make the appropriate alterations to your configure.php files, including the HTTP_SERVER and DIR_WS_CATALOG settings, and maybe the HTTPS versions of those entries too.

Then your emails will automatically use the lancia domain name in them.
