Email address displays on Gift Certificate FAQ

There's nothing wrong with the Gift Certificate FAQ, but I just discovered that by default it reveals the store contact email address in plain text under 'When problems occur'.

If you want to change this, create an overide of:

languages/english/gv_faq.php

line 86 remove

'. STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . '.

replace with 'using the contact form on this website'.

Re: Email address displays on Gift Certificate FAQ

@moderators

You can change this post title if you want to remove the reference to a spam alert - but revealing the site owner's email address in plain text on their Zen Cart site will result in them being spammed to death. My client has really suffered as a result of this and we now have a serious problem to deal with.

I made it clear in my post there's nothing wrong with the file, but the issue warrants an alert because the email address appearance in the gift certificate FAQ is easy to overlook.

By all means play it down if you feel offended.

If I could edit my original post I would remove the solution and you could all enjoy a spam-ridden new year.
