swiftmailer | Change the To: header

Hi Karls, 

Ideally you want to avoid hacking the code if possible.  Can't you just set that in the Email Templates menu?  Either set to an email or to #settings.adminEmail#?

Hi Dave,

I don't understand, please clear this for me better.

(I want to change the default sender email to sender name everywhere.)

Can i set the "From" in the email template to a desired name and not set this with email?

Thank you,
Karls

Hi Karls,

There's no functionality in CMSB to change the "From" email address in every email template all at once.

You could do that by hacking the code, but then you'd have to redo that change every time you upgrade.  Also, it would break the functionality of plugins and email templates that expect the "From" address in the email template to work.

The way to edit the from address (or any other field) is to access the email template from the menu, eg: Admin > Email Templates > USER-PASSWORD-RESET > modify

And then change "From" to the email address you want to use or #settings.adminEmail# to use the email address in "Admin > General".

Alternatively, if you had many many email templates, and you were comfortable with MySQL, you could write a MySQL query to update all the from: fields at once.  Or you could even write a plugin to "Globally Set From" with a single field that performed that query.  

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your reply..

My question is really just try to clarify if i can use any name instead of email address in the mail templates From fields.

It is not a problem for me to change one by one after that.

Hi Karls, 

Ok, sorry I misunderstood!  You can use this format when entering emails under "Email Templates" or for "Admin Email" under Admin > General

Let me know if that works for you.
