1.7.6 Change edit email subject?

[Dan1]

How to edit email subject in ps 1.7.6? I know how to edit email body in themes/mytheme/mails/ or in BO translations, but email subject can't be edited in either.

In BO - translations - email - subject, there are no expressions to edit.

In BO - translations - email - body - core emails I can find the email whose subject I want to change but it also states: No Subject was found for password_query in the database.

In this case I want to change the subject of the password reset email.

I had similar issues: I translated all email subjects in BO but when I got an email, the subject was still in english.
For some reason Prestashop did not use the translations. I do not have any idea why or was able to figure it out.

But what I was able, is to hardcode the translation in the file "lang.php" which can be found here: \themes\YOUR_TEMPLATE\mails\YOUR_LANGUAGE\
In the example below you see 2 hardcoded translations.

<?php

global $_LANGMAIL;
$_LANGMAIL = array();
$_LANGMAIL['Your order has been changed'] = 'Ihre Bestellung wurde geändert';
$_LANGMAIL['Product out of stock'] = '';
$_LANGMAIL['Product available'] = '';
$_LANGMAIL['New order : #%d - %s'] = '';
$_LANGMAIL['Stock coverage'] = '';
$_LANGMAIL['New return from order #%d - %s'] = '';
$_LANGMAIL['New credit slip regarding your order'] = 'Gutschrift für Ihre Bestellung';

?>

I hope this helps to solve your issue.

Perfect! I've been strugling with the d*mn translations for so far!

Thank you

Do you have still a solution for this?

Hi,

the text inside the parenthesis [XXX] is the shop name, you want to remove the shop names from all the email subjects, or only for one email?

If you want to remove for all mails then you can create an override for the Mail.php class, override function send( 

The subject line is being created in the send function, in this line:

 $subject = '[' . strip_tags($configuration['PS_SHOP_NAME']) . '] ' . $subject;

Kind regards, Leo

Hi Leo,

 

yes, i want to remove the website name from all email subjects.

Where can i find the mail.php class? In which Folder?

I have no experience with override. Maybe it is easier to change the mail.php

regards

Michael

[Prestachamps]

Hi,

it is in folder /classes/Mail.php

Kind regards, Leo

I have found it!

so if i understand right i need to change the line

$subject = '[' . strip_tags($configuration['PS_SHOP_NAME']) . '] ' . $subject;

to

$subject = $subject;

?

regards Michael

[Prestachamps]

HI,

yes, exactly if you want to remove the shopname from the subject, or just comment that line out, as this line is prepending the subject with the [SHOPNAME].

Kind regards, Leo

Maybe it can be useful for someone:

if you want to edit the subjects for changed order state emails.. you can't.

The subject will be [ShopName] [new_state] so you have to change your state name if you can.

PS 1.7.8.5  (PHP 7.3.33)

Where is this lang.php-file that needs to be uploaded? It's not in file directory. Can you upload exact lang.php file here for downloading, please.

I've had fresh installalations since PS 1.7.0.0.-1.7.8.5 and no such file can be found in mentioned directory. It would be nice to try it if it works if the file was downloadable somewhere. Thanks

Any other solution for this could also be nice. I've read https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/issues/9599

This worked for me in PS 1.7.6:

1. In files modules/ps_emailalerts/ps_emailalerts.php
and themes/yourtheme/modules/ps_emailalerts/ps_emailalerts.php
Replace: Emails.Subject
With: Modules.Emailalerts.Emailsubject

There are 5 occurrences, I changed all 5.

2. In ps_emailalerts/mails/en/ and themes/yourtheme/modules/ps_emailalerts/en/ add a lang.php file. I don't know if this step is necessary, I checked the lang.php files afterwards and there was nothing in them.

3. International - translations - installed modules translations - Mail alerts - Language English - Modify - Modules^Emailalerts^Emailsubject - Change: New order : #%d - %s to: YourText #%d - %s

Translation will not save if you leave out this part which is the order Reference number:  - %s

Clear Cache.

I have an issue where I try to edit an email then save it and I get a "Error" page.  I also see "No Subject was found for cheque in the database" so I am not sure what to do?
