From Email Address Options

[lcdweb]

Hate posting the stupid little things, but...

On the "From Email Address Options" page, the first field is supposed to be where the email address is entered. But it says "label" and has a misleading description.

On the "Update Directory Path and URL" page, the "base directory" is coming up as the "media" subfolder (on a joomla install). That *is* the correct value (I know because I tried what I thought should be the "base directory" and it broke everything). But it's misleading, as the media directory is really only used for temp and custom files. The text on the page seems (to me) to be looking for the resource directory (i.e. the guts of the civicrm files).

Re: the "From Email Address" functionality --

First, thanks for doing this. It was an issue for a bunch of my clients, and I kept having to remember to hack a bunch of core files to hardcode the from address. Glad to not have to do that.

Second, any chance we can add future functionality so that a "from" email defined in this config screen can be set as the default? For most of the groups I work with, the generic organizational email will be used 95% of the time. So it would be great if it can be set as the default on all email usages, and only manually changed to the individual when needed.

thx,
