General Support / Re: multiple email address for different notification
« on: November 20, 2013, 01:53:41 PM »
I don't believe this is a feature yet, or if its even on the docket to become a feature. I think its a great idea though and should be strongly considered. I would like for the same thing for my site as well. I want to have newsletters send from a newsletter@domain.com or donotreply@domain.com so that if one were to respond it won't fill up our inbox.

Are you comfortable modifying SQL tables? You can clear the Banner Statistics this way. Its fairly simple, you just have to pay attention to what you are doing so that you don't accidentally modify something you shouldn't. Always perform a backup of your database prior to attempting anything.

Log into your CPanel of your hosted domain (separate from AbanteCart)
Scroll until you find "Databases".
Find and open "phpMyAdmin"

On the left side, find your Database table and click the + symbol
Find and click on "ab_banner_stat"
Towards the top-right of the screen click on "Operations"

Before performing this next step, please verify you are working in the ab_banner_stat table ONLY
To do this look at the very top of the page and you will see breadcrumbs. Make sure the last part of the breadcrumbs read Table: ab_banner_stat

Once verified, look towards the bottom and find and click "Empty the table (TRUNCATE)"
You can verify that you are about to truncate the ab_banner_stat table before clicking ok.
Once you are confident that you are on this table click "Ok".
Once complete, go back to your admin page and check the report (should be cleared)

I have tested the reset and it works on mine. Did you clear the cache from the Admin side of the site?

Log into Admin side
Go to System -> Cache
Select all boxes and clear cahce. See if that works.

To reset "Products Purchased" you have to go to Sales -> Orders and delete all orders. This may also clear the Sales report as well (not 100% on this though)

The "Products Viewed" has a reset button. Looking for the rest right now.

Tips and Tricks / Re: Forward past the category page to the product page

If abantecart gives the nod to this being an efficient solution I would be glad to do the code for you (shouldn't take more than 15-30 mins). It seems one risk to changing code is when updating the cart to the newest release it may replace some of the files we modify. Easiest solution is to always back up the files that you are changing (both original & modified).

I am still learning the structure of this cart so abantecart may have an easier/much less intrusive solution.

Tips and Tricks / Re: Forward past the category page to the product page
« on: November 19, 2013, 07:32:59 AM »
I understand what you are trying to do. Basically you want the dropdown link for Unisex/Men's T Shirts to go directly to the men's t-shirt product instead of the category page. So forth and so on for each corresponding T Shirt category. Correct?

If so, do you want this to apply to every product in your store? Or just the T Shirts?


I know how I would do it if it were my store, unfortunately I don't think its how others would do it. I'm not sure mine would be the most effective way. My way would involve modifying the category page to strip it of the title & list of products. Then I would just go into the admin side and edit the specific category and call in the product via an iFrame.

...archmetalsfl.com/index.php?rt=product/category&path=77_78
This is the page I am working on currently. If you go to any of the Porfolio categories those are all called in via an iFrame. Don't worry about the load time, it is due to my gallery crawling a folder for images and building the gallery so that if I want to add new photos I never have to modify code, I just upload into that specific folder and the gallery will automatically grab it.

On a side note, has anyone brought up the possibility of having the newsletter emails go out from a separate email address, such as noreply@domain.com instead of the store's email address?

We don't want people being able to respond to our store's email address as this could clutter up our inbox if a lot of people decide to try and reply. I know you can set rules in outlook to filter incoming mail, but it'd be nice to have them go out of an email address that is unable to be replied to.

Either have the email pull from the Owner Name

Try replacing the string
$mail->setSender($store_name);
 with
$mail->setSender($this->config->get('config_owner'));
 near the end of
admin/controller/pages/sale/customer.php 
(and / or any other php containing AMail for sending the corresponding notification types)


Thanks, but for my particular site it was easier changing just this one string of code in public_html  ->  storefront  ->  controller  ->  pages  ->  content -> contact.php


Line 75 replace:
$this->view->assign('store', $this->config->get('store_name'));
with:
$this->view->assign('store', $this->config->get('config_owner'));

This allows me to leave all email forms to reference store_name  and my Contact Us page will reference config_owner.

I was basically trying to find a way to escape the comma in a non-intrusive way.

For my particular site, one of two things can happen. Either have the email pull from the Owner Name, or have the Contact Us page pull from Owner Name, whichever is easier to achieve.

EDIT: I just changed the Contact Us page to pull the Owner Name. This seemed to be the easiest option.

Ok so further testing has shown that the comma seems to be used as a separator in a way.  Lets say my store name is Company, Inc.

The email comes through as unknown sender, but the reply to shows this       reply-to:  "Inc." <info@email.com>

There has to be a way to pass this comma through. I have read ways to do it on a much easier email form setup however ours is much more complex so I hope you code gurus can come up with something  :D

Oh ok, sorry I misunderstood what you meant. That'd be fine for me.

It is the Store Name. I removed the comma in the Store Name and all was good, it came through fine. Put the comma back and its unknown sender.

So I haven't found a way to keep the comma. Can we possibly add a field for the emails to pull the name from? I don't want to change the store name to accommodate the emails because the change then shows on the Contact Us page. I would rather keep the store name the legally registered name of the company, and be able to have the emails show otherwise.

I was testing out the Sales -> Mail portion of the site today and sent an email to my gmail account. The result showed an Unknown Sender. I sent the same email to my business email address and it showed everything up until the comma (the comma and everything after was gone).

I removed the comma from the store name and all is well now. I would like to have the comma, and may work tomorrow on code that will possibly allow the comma, but I wanted to check in to see if you guys had a fix for this first (or if its even possible).

Thanks,
James
