Display company name as Email sender

I am trying to figure out how to change the actual email sent from the store when an order is processed, complete, newletters set, etc. It says just sales@website.com and I would like it to actually say the name of company and for newletters say monthly newletter or some sort. Anyone can help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Re: Email Displays from Auto store Email

Does anyone know how to change the display name when your store sends auto emails to your customers? It just displays the actual email address but instead it would be better to display your store or company name to stand out to them. IDEAS?

Re: Email Displays from Auto store Email

This is possible, but a slight modification is required.

Here are instructions (for X-Cart 4.4.5):

1. alter the "include/func/func.core.php" script and replace this piece of code:

PHP Code:


		
			
return "^[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])$";

with this one:

PHP Code:


		
			
return "^([a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]))|([A-z 0-9]{3,}[ ]{1}(<){1}[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+\/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])(>){1})$";

2. alter the "admin/configuration.php" script and replace this piece of code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$trusted_post_variables = array(

    'gpg_key',

    'pgp_key',

    'xpc_private_key_password',

    'xpc_private_key',

    'xpc_public_key',

    'breadcrumbs_separator',

    'wibiya_integration_code',

);

with this this one:

PHP Code:


		
			
$trusted_post_variables = array(

    'gpg_key',

    'pgp_key',

    'xpc_private_key_password',

    'xpc_private_key',

    'xpc_public_key',

    'breadcrumbs_separator',

    'wibiya_integration_code',

    'site_administrator',

    'users_department',

    'orders_department',

    'support_department',

    'smtp_mail_from',

);

To apply the modification the FTP/SSH access is required.

Once the modification is applied, you will be able to use the following e-mail format on the Company options page: Your Company Name <sales@yourstore.com>

That will make emails show Your Company Name as a sender.

NOTE: additional changes are required in case X-Payments is used.

Re: Display company name as Email sender

Consider including it in 4.4.6 Alex. It is a simple change

Re: Display company name as Email sender

I had just opened a ticket for this on the Help Desk, and they suggested this method. But then e-mailed me back to tell me that this wouldn't work due to Javascript of some sort and that the company name would have to be stored in a language variable. Thoughts?

Re: Display company name as Email sender

The introduced changes should apply only to email notifications.

Not sure how it is related... any other clarification what page javascript?

Hello, is there sample code for X-Cart 4.0.18? Thanks in advance.

Re: Display company name as Email sender

No, in 4.0.x it is even simpler.

All you need to do is alter the "admin/configuration.php" script and replace this piece of code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$trusted_post_variables = array("gpg_key", "pgp_key");

with this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$trusted_post_variables = array("gpg_key", "pgp_key", "site_administrator", "users_department", "orders_department", "support_department", "newsletter_email");
