1.5 - ALERT: Your Admin settings have been changed in your online store.

============
Administrative alert:

NOTE: Admin settings have been CHANGED for the [ceon_sage_pay_direct] module, by admin user {jsweb[1]}.

If you did not initiate these changes, it is advisable that you verify the settings immediately.

=============

This is the email being sent out to Zen Cart store owners! I suggest it gets rewriting to help explain what is actually means (from a non technical perspective).

Re: 1.5 - ALERT: Your Admin settings have been changed in your online store.

What more do you think it should say?

The email is just a "heads up" that something has been changed in the Admin and it only gets sent to the SuperUser of the site.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

This is the email being sent out to Zen Cart store owners! I suggest it gets rewriting to help explain what is actually means (from a non technical perspective).

Personally I had no problems with the wording, or the meaning of the message.

I do have my own suggestion though, and that is to have the ability to define where these emails sent. This would be so that the site developer can get a copy for those times when the developer and administrator are not the same person, as is often the case.

If this capability already exists, I'm not seeing it under the E-mail options where I'd expect to find it.

Cheers

Re: 1.5 - ALERT: Your Admin settings have been changed in your online store.

How about something nicer:

=============
Dear [Store Owner]

This is an automated email from your ZenCart store located at http://domain information you about the following:

  • On DD/MM/YY your Admin settings were CHANGED to allow for [xxxx].
  • This was made by a Zen Cart admin user [usename]

Assuming you are aware of this change then this email can be ignored. However, if you did not initiate these changes, it is advisable that you verify the settings immediately. To do this please do the following......

If you need any additional support why not visit http://www.zen-cart.com/forum

Kind regards

Your Zen Cart Admin Monitor Agent
https://www.domain.com

==============

This then gives a nice introduction (avoiding it seem like another spam email)
It confirms which website it has come from (store owners often run multiple stores)
It explains what has happened, when and by whom
It confirms this email can be deleted OR an action can be taken (AND HOW TO DO IT) if the store owner was not aware of it
If offers a channel for a store owner to ask a question at the forum.
Also by using a term like "Your Zen Cart Admin Monitor Agent " (just as an example) it offer reassurance that your ZenCart is monitoring security for you. Just a thought

Is there a possibility to deactivate these messages? Especially if you are trying things out in a test store this can get quite annoying.

There is intentionally no built-in way to disable those emails. They are there for your protection. When your store goes live you'll want to know when someone changes your settings.
