Sent E-Mail's FROM: and TO: fields manual set-up

Hello,

This is a manual fix/solution for a bug which is to be removed soon, however until it remains here's how to fix it:

PROBLEM: Emails sent by the system show 'support@bosscart.com' as the sender email, and admin email full set up.

** DIFFICULTY LEVEL: MODERATE **

SHORT SOLUTION:

Basically you need to go through these 4 files:

bosscart/ipn.php
bosscart/core/modules/velnet.module.checkout.class.php
bosscart/core/modules/velnet.module.register.class.php
bosscart/core/modules/velnet.module.password.class.php

and change any instance of such code:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "From: system@bosscart.com\r\n"; 


to:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "From: admin@yourdomain.com\r\n"; 


assuming 'admin@yourdomain.com' is your admin email (or the email you want to show in FROM field.

Also change such code:

PHP Code:

mail("sushil@xponse.com", "IN Pending", "$sql", $headers); 


to:

PHP Code:

mail(admin@yourdomain.com", "IN Pending", "$sql", $headers); 


and such:

PHP Code:

$adminEmail = 'sushil@xponse.com'; 


to:

PHP Code:

$adminEmail = 'admin@yourdomain.com'; 


again assuming 'admin@yourdomain.com' is your admin email you want to RECEIVE emails from users and system notifications.


DETAILED SOLUTION:

There are four files to be modified, let's go through them one by one.
We assume that your admin email you want the system to put in FROM field is 'admin@yourdomain.com', and the email you want to receive the system notices and emails from users is 'receive@yourdomain.com' (although it can be the same one).

bosscart/ipn.php

1. Open the file in any text editor (one that shows line numbers and colours the commands would be nice, Notepad++ is a free and a good one )

Find this code around lines 39-40:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "From: system@bosscart.com\r\n";
                mail("sushil@xponse.com", "IN Pending", "$sql", $headers); 


replace it with:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "From: admin@yourdomain.com\r\n";
                mail("receive@yourdomain.com", "IN Pending", "$sql", $headers); 


Find this code around lines 127-128:

PHP Code:

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n';
        $headers .= 'From: system@bosscart.com\r\n'; 


replace it with:

PHP Code:

$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n';
        $headers .= 'From: admin@yourdomain.com\r\n'; 


Lines 136-137:

PHP Code:

$adminEmail = 'sushil@xponse.com';
        $subject = 'New Order'; 


replace it with:

PHP Code:

$adminEmail = 'receive@yourdomain.com';
        $subject = 'New Order'; 


Line 156:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "From: support@bosscart.com\r\n"; 


replace with:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "From: admin@yourdomain.com\r\n";

$headers .= "Content-type: ".$usr_data['email_type']."; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
        $headers .= "From:admin@yourdomain.com\n";

        @mail('sushil@xponse.com',$subject, $mail_body, $headers); 


replace with:

4. File:

bosscart/core/modules/velnet.module.password.class.php

Lines 56-57:

PHP Code:

$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
            $headers .= "From:support@bosscart.com\n";
