When order is placed can multiple emails be sent?

[manuel2283]

I have a quick question, is there any way to CC or just email multiple people when an order is placed from VirtueMart.

I know if you go to the edit store you can enter one email address that corresponds to when any orders are sent.

Thanks

Easiest way to do this is on your mail server. Have the main shop address as an alias and copy to as many other addresses as you wish. Depends how much server control you have, though.

Agree Kelvyn but I've got a situation where all email goes direct to the client's in house email server.

That box is prone to crashing and loosing orders and I'd like to get some backups sent elsewhere.

Got any other suggestions I could try?

I guess you could hardcode additional email addresses into VM - there was a hack for doing this with VM1.0.x - not seen one described for VM 1.1.x

Does anyone have a solution for 1.1.x?  I would like it to be in the Virtuemart side as I have multiple fulfillment centers.

I am trying to do this too (posted here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=52772.0). Though I need to do different emails for different people.

Where in the code is the email sent?

Anyone find a solution to this??

This works in VM 1.1.4 on J 1.5.15

Backup ps_checkout.php then find the following around Line 2101:
// Mail receipt to the vendor
vmMail($from_email, $mosConfig_fromname, $vendor_email, $vendor_subject,$msg, "" );

ADD THIS JUST BELOW
//Begin Additional Text Email
$additional_email = '<insert the email address you wish to use here>';
vmMail($from_email, $mosConfig_fromname, $additional_email, $vendor_subject,$msg, "" );
// End Additional Text Email

then the following around Line 2212
$vendor_mail = vmMail( $from_email, $mosConfig_fromname, $vendor_email, $vendor_subject, $vendor_mail_Body, $vendor_mail_AltBody, true, null, null, $EmbeddedImages, null, $shopper_email);

ADD THIS JUST BELOW
//Begin Additional HTML Email
$additional_email = '<insert the email address you wish to use here>';
$vendor_mail = vmMail( $from_email, $mosConfig_fromname, $additional_email, $vendor_subject, $vendor_mail_Body, $vendor_mail_AltBody, true, null, null, $EmbeddedImages, null, $shopper_email);
//End Additional HTML Email

@stunami

I know this is a pretty old topic, but does anyone have a silimar solution to sending multiple order confirmation emails out in VM2?  I need 1 copy as the site manager, and 1 copy sent to the supplier who will fulfil the order.

Many thanks in advance of your help.
