Remove email footer

I've searched here in the help, and I can't find out how to remove the "Copyright Zen Cart..." text from the footer of emails sent from ZC, I'm using my own graphics in the emails, so it's my understanding that this is allowed. I tried includes/languages/english.php, and that didn't work.

[YOUR_ADMIN_LOCATION]/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php

Line #39 (at least on my copy of Zen Cart 1.3.8a).

For future Reference, use...
Admin > Tools > Developers Tool Kit

and search for the constant you which to change (constants are in all upper case), in this instance what you wish to change is the Constant: EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT

when you find a constant you wish to change leave off the "$" at the front should it have one (otherwise Zen Cart's Developers Took Kit seems to be unable to find what you are looking for.)

I'm using my own graphics in the emails, so it's my understanding that this is allowed.

You have to change ALL aspects of the template used in-order to Remove the Zen Cart portion from any portion of your website. The change I made was fixing it so the Copyright is mine, but references Zen Cart like this:

define('EMAIL_FOOTER_COPYRIGHT','Copyright © ' . date('Y') . ' <a href="http://www.shopwells.com.com" target="_blank">ShopWells.com</a>. Powered by <a href="http://www.zen-cart.com" target="_blank">Zen Cart</a>');

Re: Remove email footer

I searched for that constant, and it couldn't find it. I also made the changes to the file you mentioned, and the footer is still the same.

Re: Remove email footer

DWells already suggested that, and that's what I tried.

[YOUR_ADMIN_LOCATION]/includes/languages/english/email_extras.php

Re: Remove email footer

admin\includes\languages\english\email_extras.php
and
includes\languages\english\email_extras.php
are two different locations.

Thanks for offering to help, Rob. That's what I ended up doing...putting the original file back. Everything is working fine now. Maybe I'll give it a try changing both files. Thanks.

Re: Remove email footer

I've been trying to change the spam info to canadian info:
"Bill C-27: Electronic Commerce Protection Act"
I finally had to change the file in the admin folder. It seems that what ever changes I made to in the overide file was not doing any thing.

Is this a bug?
