BCC of renewal reminders to Admin

[HotAir]

Hi,

It would be great to have the option of sending a BCC of the renewal emails to the admin.

I use 68c for a business directory so the listings run for a year. If I knew someone hadn't renewed, I could give them a call. I've had situations where their email address has changed so they don't get the renewal notice, then the listing expires, and has been deleted before they realize it's gone.

Thanks,
Jim

This can be done. Here is a post that outlines it:

Hi Eric,

I've already done that one. I also looked at that thread to see if I could do a similar thing for the renewal notices, but it appears the emails are sent using a completely different routine (It's been a few weeks since I looked at it so I don't remember where it was).

The auto-generated emails like the renewal notices were much harder to figure out how to modify, at least for me!

Jim

Which version are you wanting to change?
3.1.10 or 4.1.0 beta 2?

Hi Eric,

I put this in feature requests for V4 thinking it might be something to add to the wish list. Not sure if anyone else could use it, but it seems anyone running a directory (or something with long lasting listings) would find it useful. A checkbox in the administration area to BCC the admin whenever renewals are sent was what I was thinking of.

However, it would be very useful now for my V3.1.10 live install. If you can point me towards what would need to be modified, I'm guessing I could do the other.

Jim,

For v4.1 you would just open the includes/classes/Mailer.php file and find the sendMail method.
Find: $this->AddAddress($to); and below it add:
$this->AddBCC("email@yourdomain");

For 3.1 you would have to open that actual send file. Like contact.php and find:
$mail->AddAddress($to); and below it add:
$mail->AddBCC("email@yourdomain");

Thanks Eric, that's great!

I think the file in 3.1.10 that's sending the renewal notices is includes/functions_cron.php. I've added the line and it works!!
