General Support / Duplicate email alerts - two copies of order sent to store admin email
« Last post by Sam128 on May 18, 2024, 09:25:40 AM »Someone else will be helping me with orders on my store, so I would like a copy of the "You have received an order" email sent to their email address. I found the "Additional Alert E-Mails" setting in System -> Settings -> Mail, and I can enter additional email addresses there to receive alerts, and that all works fine.
The issue is that in order to get an email sent to the additional address, I have to tick the "Alert Email" setting, which sends the alert email to the store owner, which is me.
But I'm already getting an email every time someone places an order. If I tick that box, then I now get a second copy of the same email sent to the store owner address.
I've looked all over for other alert settings, and I can't find anything else about alerts. So it seems that sending alert emails is standard behaviour - in that case why is there an option to send an additional copy of the same email? I must be missing something here - can anyone explain what's going on?
My current guess is that "you have received an order" messages get sent to the AbanteCart internal messages, and they are set up to forward everything as an email to the store owner. But I couldn't find any way to disable that internal message either. So I'm stuck getting two copies of every order email?
Actually, in an ideal world, I would like to turn off email notifications of orders to the store owner completely, since I can log on and look at the internal messages or order lists at any time. I would prefer to ONLY get an email to the additional addresses. But for now I'd settle with only getting one copy of it sent to the store owner.

Extension Support / Re: Shipping extensions all seem completely broken
« Last post by Sam128 on May 17, 2024, 06:41:35 AM »You were right. Probably. I tried saving again this morning and it worked first time. And now I've been able to add all the locations back in, and save the shipping costs, and it's all still working. So it probably was some kind of server security issue and nothing to do with AbanteCart itself.
Thanks for all your help, Basara!

It appears that the issue may be linked to the ModSecurity module on your hosting server, which is sometimes known for triggering false alarms. I recommend consulting your hosting provider's documentation to learn how to disable or adjust its rules. The scenario where "everything works and then suddenly stops" is often indicative of a ModSecurity-related problem.

« Last post by Sam128 on May 16, 2024, 06:21:28 PM »I spoke too soon. 
Everything appeared to be working. I decided to use the Weight Based Shipping, and it was behaving as I expected with the two predefined locations (USA and Canada) plus another one I added for testing. So I added 6 more locations - one for each of the zones I needed, and added a bunch of countries to each. The locations show up in the "Additional Settings" section of the Weight Based Shipping plugin, and I can add the shipping weights and prices there. All good so far.
But now when I add some weight/price text in Weight Based Shipping, and click "Save", I get a 403 Forbidden error. The message says it's accessing this:
/index.php?rt=extension/default_weight&s=admin123&token=egotT9qRoiWKpXZMXnW0bp1k9sv2XXhV (port 443)
I've checked the permissions on that file - it's 644, which I believe is correct because all other files have the same permissions. In any case I certainly didn't edit any files or permissions or anything - I was using the admin web interface to add locations and shipping weights. It seems it randomly stopped working.
Some things do still work - like any time there's a little tick box to save individual changes - that seems to work still. But the weight/price text boxes don't have that tickbox. I have to click on the "Save" button at the bottom, and that's when it shows the error.
I tried deleting all the extra locations that I added, leaving just USA defined. So I only see the USA region on the Weight Based Shipping page now, but the 403 error still occurs.
Most of the admin website still works. I can save changes on the Fast Checkout extension page. The only thing I've found that doesn't work is the Royal Mail shipping extension, which now has the same problem. Individual save tickboxes work, but the "Save" button shows that error. I'm positive I was never seeing any 403 errors before I added more locations.
I've looked in System -> Logs -> Error Logs, but there is nothing in there.
Any ideas?
