Magento: Invalid transactional email code: x

Friday, February 19th, 2010

If you start seeing this error (both when trying to order) and as emails to the sales address then the error is most likely that someone has deleted the template with id x but that is still set to be used in the database.

The solution for this is to update “System-Configuration-Sales Emails” in admin and save existing templates instead of the template that is now removed.

Note: Also it might be good to consider why this happened, is there some (real) problem or was the template file(s) updated and some old database template was removed [perhaps there is an educational need].

Magento: Sending the info in the contact form to several email addresses

Monday, January 18th, 2010

By default Magento only has one filed to input the recipient of the contact form (in admin).
If you would like to get this sent to several email addresses then a small hack is required as Magento adds some encding to address in this field.

Use

mail@example1.com>, name <mail@example2.com

to send to two recipients. name is the name shown as the address in the second mail.

Send contact form to two mail addressesv

To send to 3 addresses use

mail@example1.com>, name <mail@example2.com>,name2<mail@example3.com

To sent to 4 or more, just add more as in the 3 addresses example

Magento: Send a email to store owner when a order is placed.

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

It is not hard to set up a Magento multi store environment so when a order is placed in a store, a owner (one owner per store) gets a order confirmation email.
Doing like this will give a copy of the mail that is sent to the customer, and that might not be nice – but this is quick.

In admin, select the store you wish to enter the email address to, and under system > config > sales > sales e-mail override the site default with the email address you would like for this store.

It is also possible to send copies of shipment notices, credit mails etc (basically all mail that is sent from the store).

[Tested with v1.3.2.4]
