Send Confirmation and Receipt
April 28, 2010, 06:52:42 am
I have added some contacts and now I am assigning memberships to each contact.

I have then noticed the option “Send Confirmation and Receipt”.

I have run a test and the mail-from address is the one that I have registered with my joomla user.

I have searched the documentation but it does not seem to mention how to configure another mail-from address.

I have added a default mail-from address in the global civicrm settings but that does not help.

How do I configure the mail-from address and if it is not possible which php file should I have a look at?

Cheers,
Thomas

go to file CRM/Member/Form/Membership.php
line around 896 onward,  check '$receiptFrom' is a variable used to get from email address.

hope this help

Thanks Kiran,

I have had a look at the file (in version 3.1.2 ) and I can tell that it always picks the joomla user mail address.

Is there any requirement that says it has to be the joomla user mail address, or would it be ok to add the option of specifying another mail-from address (as a part of the main development trunk)?

Cheers,
Thomas

For all offline receipting we do used logged in user display name and email address as combination for from email address.
corresponding logic are present in respective forms.

You can safely used/modify from email address as per your need.

Ok then I will not change anything as it is better to stay consistent with the rest of civicrm and I don’t have to remember local fixes when I upgrade.

I will go for the easy solution and just change my joomla user email address.

Have a great weekend and thanks for the clarification,
Thomas.
