Mailbeez After Sales Modules

hara:

Hi ScriptJunkie,

I mean I search a good looking easy editable email template for replacing ZC create account mail and/or send another marketing email at same time sending create account email. I don't see any other post has my same idea in this forum so far.

Thanks for that clarification :) Zen Cart's email templates are as basic as email templates get for software as cool and complex as Zen Cart. It is unlikely you will find an easier replacement system.

Having said that, if you're looking for some kind of marketing email template to go out at the same time as the welcome email that goes out from Zen Cart when an account is created, I recommend that you go to the Mailbeez website and find the section that deals with feature requests. Then make a request for what you're looking for and provide as much detail as possible (like what you want to accomplish with the email template you have in mind).

If enough people find value in that, then it might be something Mailbeez will consider creating and releasing at some future date. If not, then perhaps they will consider creating it for you for a fee.

In the meantime, my recommendation to you is that you go through your Zen Cart email templates and invest the time to customize each of them to your liking.

You will need to do this anyway in order for the Mailbeez emails to look like you want them to, because...while Mailbeez has its own templates that need to be tweaked and customized to your store, they also utilize your default email template from Zen Cart....so if your Zen Cart email templates are not customized to your liking, your Mailbeez emails won't be either (Mailbeez works with Zen Cart's email template system, it does not replace it)

Customizing your email templates (both in Zen Cart and Mailbeez) can be a little bit of a pain if you don't know your way around html, css, inline styling, and basic PHP, but it's well worth the time you will spend.

On the bright side, if I can figure it out, anyone can :) It just takes a little bit of time, effort, and a desire to have your store the way you want it.

If this type of file editing is beyond your ability and you're uninterested in learning how to do it - or simply don't have the time to learn it, my best suggestion is that you pay someone to do it for you.

But, if you go that route, pick someone who knows their way around zen cart or other PHP based software - you don't want to pay someone by the hour who takes a long time because they don't know what they're doing, and you don't want to pay someone by the "job" who's going to muddle through it and leave you with a hacked up mess.

I believe the forum has an area dedicated to this purpose (hiring someone to customize your cart, or a specific area of your cart (like email templates).

Good luck :)

Thank you so much ScriptJunkie.

You're very welcome :)

I just installed the basic module and when I go to Tools -> Mailbeez it takes me to the front end of my store and a error page 404 shows. I did just what the instructions say.

What am I supposed to do with the other files/folders that are included in the download? The instructions dont say anything about these folders.

i.e.
catalog
extras creloaded

(I re-named the admin module)

OK I think I may have answered my own question. The instructions dont make any mention of the folder "catalog". But it does call for the installation of some files that are in the folder. So I assume this folders contents need to be uploaded. (doing that now...)

Will see...

Still not sure what to do with the folder "extras creloaded"

hi nohart,

in the package you find a file EN_install.txt which should guide you to the online installation manual on:

http://www.mailbeez.com/documentation/installation/basic-installation-zen-cart/

just follow these steps and you are done.

the "catalog" directory is your root in zencart, so copy the content of "catalog" (not the folder itself) into zencart (where your index.php is)

ignore "creloaded": mailbeez runs on 8+ different platforms with the same installation package - creloaded is just a different cart system which also supports plugins similar to zencart

Multilanguage Template Manager

Sounds easy, but is actually a complete subsystem: This new add-on makes MailBeez multilingual and also gives you an editor frontend for editing the templates from the admin interface.

winback works, but nopurchase gets the error below. i am confused.

Processing....
code: winback
module: winback
Result:0 items
no matching customers or all items have been sent
Processing....
code: nopurchase
module: nopurchase

Email Error: Could not instantiate mail function. Please check Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Email Transport.

did you upgrade to mailbeez v2.1?

Yes, new install.

please to to

configuration > eventlog

and activate both options.

run the module again.

go to

reports > event log.

find the query for nopurchase and try to run it with e.g. phpmyadmin.

what is the result?

where do i see the query.

you should finf the query in the event log - after you configured it and run the module again

I installed v.2.1. I go to admin-tools-mailbeez, get this opened:

"Not Found
The requested URL /admin/FILENAME_MAILBEEZ.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I can find mailbeez.php file in admin folder. What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

hi hara,

looks like you haven't copy all files into your system.

please follow step by step the install on
http://www.mailbeez.com/documentation/installation/basic-installation-zen-cart/

think you forgot to copy the extra_datafiles which define the FILENAME_MAILBEEZ

does it work?

cheers

No query in the report event log.

Did you activate the setting under configuration > eventlog, restarted the simulation and run the module again?

yes, no query in the log. just one line per event

Thanks for sharing with us.:clap:

I checked all files are copied. still not working.

one thing is that all filesize smaller in server, compare with your original filesize.
