Changing and Customizing the "From" line in sent emails
 

Hi Everyone,

I have a long forum title, and that long title is sent as the "from" line in emails sent to my forum members.

I don't want to change my email title, so what code or file (or better yet, template) do I need to change so that I can choose a custom email "from" line without changing my BB title name.

Would I need to change the mail.php file?

If so, any idea where?

Thanks for your help,

modify the x_mailer phrase

if you are sending email via the admincp/USERS/SEND EMAIL interface leave the FROM line empty

Thank you very much, princeton.

I received a comment that since my forum title was very long, that it looked akward with such a long name on the email from name.

I will try to make that change now.

Is there any way to add a custom replacement value for the forum board title?

Hi princeton,

I tried to modify the VALUE of the x_mailer phrase, and it did not affect the "From" line of the email.

Perhaps I misunderstood...

Is there some .php code that I should change that includes the x_mailer phrase?

default 'x_mailer' phrase is {1} will be replaced with bbtitle; so, if your title is 'RUSSIAN MEETING PLACE' the FROM field will look like RUSSIAN MEETING PLACE Forums.

If you don't want it to look like than replace with

Thanks for the help, Princeton.

I thought that I did replace the {1} with Russian Meeting Place, and it didn't seem to work.

Perhaps I sent myself a test email before I made the change (without refreshing the send email page).

I'll try again.

Thanks,

Hi princeton,

I checked, and the x_mailer value is "Russian Meeting Place," but when I send an email to myself via the board, the from line still includes the entire forum title.

Any other ideas?
