I'm still not sure what is what, you are aware of this section of code in
FreeTrade on line 75 in
include/global_settings:
/*
** General Network Behavior
*/
define("SEND_EMAIL", FALSE);
//when emails are sent by the system this is used
//in the from header.
define("EMAIL_FROM", "Webmaster <webmaster@$SERVER_NAME>");
The code above define("SEND_EMAIL", FALSE) determines whether to send an email
confirmation on completion of an order, if set to TRUE, the email will be
sent....
the define "EMAIL_FROM", will be the from address of the Email, which in your
case you would want to be, I suppose:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], so I guess you would change the above to
define("SEND_EMAIL", TRUE);
and
define("EMAIL_FROM", "Order Confirm at TradeIt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>");
these values are then utilized in the file actions/SUBMIT_ORDER
at the very end of the file there is one last
if statement that has some stuff that might or might not give you a problem, the
SEND_EMAIL part, you defined to be true in the include/global_settings file, so
it will pass, the validateEmail($billingAddress["Email"]) function, could give
you a problem, if you are behind a firewall, or connections are limited coming
in from the outside to the www server. the validateEmail function is coded in
include/validateEmail , this function actually opens up a socket and does a
lookup to determine the mail server of the email address, then it does the
equivalent of a telnet mail.server.com 25, and does a little test to see if the
mail server will accept the address..
other than that, the mail a confirmation is already in the program ... if this
doesn't address your problem, I'm not sure what we're trying to accomplish,
maybe someone else can jump in here ... if not, I'm not sure what else I can
tell you...
Hope this helps :
Here is the final bit of code in actions/SUBMIT_ORDER, where the email is sent
and most of the above explanation is referring to:
if($ContinueProcessing)
{
//send confirmation email
if((SEND_EMAIL) AND validateEmail($billingAddress["Email"]))
{
$mail_body = L_SUBMITORDER_DEAR .
$billingAddress["Name_First"] . " " .
$billingAddress["Name_Last"] . ",\n\n";
$mail_body .= L_SUBMITORDER_BODY;
$mail_body .= L_SUBMITORDER_INVOICE .
$UserInfo['Invoice'] .".\n\n";
$mail_body .= L_SUBMITORDER_THANKS;
//list each item in the invoice and where each item is
being shipped to
if ( listInvoiceContents(intval($UserInfo['Invoice']),
$contentsString) )
{
$mail_body .= L_SUBMITORDER_INVOICE_CONTENTS;
$mail_body .= $contentsString;
}
else
{
//output error message
print( htmlentities($contentsString) );
}
mail($billingAddress["Email"],
L_ORDER_CONFIRMATION,
$mail_body,
"From: " . EMAIL_FROM);
}
$ActionResults[] = L_SUBMITORDER_SUCCESS;
}
