Thread: Customize E-mail Notifications

Customize E-mail Notifications

Am looking for a plugin which will help me to change default e-mail notifications description/details sent to my customers...Am using classipress...Anyone for help???

Hi youngmaster,

Do you want to change the text?

yes i would like to change the text and i dont know where to start doing it.

Okay, there are two ways,

1. is to use the language packs and perform an English to English translation.Basically you create a mo file with your changes and upload it as a language pack.

2.is to change the text in the 'classipress/includes/theme-emails.php file.If you're not using a child theme then all the changes you make will be deleted with the next update.If you are using a child theme then you have to override the functions of the parent, you can read a tutorial about this here.

How can a language pack help to change e-mail notifications sent to my customers?

All the text is translatable which means that it is included in the language pack.So, you can open it and edit and change the email messages and then save it as a mo file.Then you upload it as a language pack and you're done.

Will you please give me the steps on how to do that because i have never used a language pack before and am afraid that i might screw my theme.

It is really easy and you don't have to worry about your site, you don't make any changes there.Follow the instruction of the page i posted and you will be fine.You will need poedit to create the translation.


This is the tutorial for creating a translation: http://www.appthemes.com/blog/how-to...rdpress-theme/

Let me know if it worked for you.

I have read the tutorial link you gave me but i think using language packs is more complicated. In the tutorial you gave they havent explained how to create a mo-file. I think the easiest way for me is to modify the codes...Will you please show me how to do that?
