Is there an easy way in x-cart to alter customer notifcations that are recieved via email such as :

"You have received this notification from <insert store name> because you are a registered user or you or some other registered user requested some information for you from our store."

If the answer to this is a no, would anyone have any good sugguestions about locating these messages in the code and altering them?

-Thanks

All of those are text variables that can be edited in the languages area. Click on 'Languages' and select e-mail. They are all right there.

Has the location where this information gets edited been moved? There is no longer an "Email" section (or any sub-section for that matter) in the LANGUAGES section of the Admin panel to edit the text content of email notifications. We are running X-Cart v4.2.2.

Also, is there a way to add footer info to all email notifications which would include website link, Social Media icons, etc?

There is indeed still an email section in the languages area. Select your language first and then it is right there called 'select topic'.

Be careful how much html you add to your signature - X-Cart emails already have the tendency to get sent to the spam folder, adding links will increase that probability.

Okay I was able to find the Email section in Languages. Do I just add the html code into the WYSIWYG editor? Basically I want to display the following with the Social Media icons as hyperlinks to our personal pages:


Company Name
www.website.com

Is there a way to have it show as a default in the footer of ALL email notifications?

Does anyone have an answer to my question? I wasn't sure if I place the html and images directly into the WYSIWYG editor. I'm assuming I should link the icons to images that I upload to our server.

Also, is there a way to create a template that adds the same footer to all notifications?

Hi cmodesign, I am not an expert so take this lightly... I have done some small modifications to my email notifications and they were all done in the tpl files that you will find under skin1/mail/html. You probably can create a new tpl file with the add-on that you want and call that tpl file at the end of all the email notification files that you wish to change.

Hi, I wish to add a link into the processed order notification email using the tracking # field. This is because I need to send each customer a different link for them to pay in another site. Every order has a different link.

Can somebody guide me how to achieve it?

I tried editing the order_invoice.tpl the link appears, but the address says http://array_tracking. It seems that is not calling the tracking field variable.

This is the code I'm using.

<br /><font size="2">
{assign var="link" value="<a href=\"$http_location/\" target=\"_blank\">`$order.tracking`</a>"}
{$lng.eml_pago_tt|substitute:"pago":$link}
</font><br><br>

I tried replacing the $http_location to $order.tracking but it doesn't work.



Thanks in advance.
