Ah-ha!  I was looking in the settings on the main store node.  Blindingly obvious now I see it on the email template node settings, thanks!

Can you explain how you got to the point of sending order confirmation emails? Are they automatically sent upon completion?

When an order is finalized (paid for) it will be finalized and the system will send the order confirmation.

Kind regards

Sorry, my question came out too early and was uninformed. I finally figured out the emails were being sent in the "Notifications" class and by using the documentation here: notification documentation 

I was able to grab a hold of the mailsending event and write another function.

My problem is that the mail provider I'm using requires SSL and to my understanding there is an issue with the SMTP settings in web.config that make using SSL difficult and you must revert back and use System.Web.Mail rather than the new System.Net.Mail and do the following (this is generic example from web)

What I did was to basically copy the MailMessage object into a new one using the other library so I could add these fields, then send that email in the MailSending function.

Now, assuming I get this to work. Is there a way to cancel sending the original email? Since the actual SMTP object is not in that function, and you don't actually call the base function to continue functionality. How can I take over and tell the original email not to send because I know it will not anyways? Anyone have a better idea? Or a better workaround the whole SSL issue? I'm using ZOHO mail.

public static void SendMail()
  {
   string smtpServer = "smtp.domain.com";
   string userName = "johnDoe";
   string password = "pass";
   int cdoBasic = 1; 
   int cdoSendUsingPort = 2; 
   MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
   if (userName.Length > 0)
   {
    msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver", smtpServer);
    msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport", 25) ;
    msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing", cdoSendUsingPort) ;
    msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", cdoBasic); 
    msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername", userName); 
    msg.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword", password); 
   }
   msg.To = "[email protected]"; 
   msg.From = "[email protected]";
   msg.Subject = "Subject";
   msg.Body = "Message";
   SmtpMail.SmtpServer = smtpServer;
   SmtpMail.Send(msg);
  }

Just set the mailMessage that is parsed in to null. That should do the trick.

Kind regards

I don't think it likes that either...

Below is error from log. I know that the smtp is still set to 127.... I'm not using that. The email I need is actually sending correctly, I just need the original to stop trying to send.

The mail sending event and if you set the mailMessage to null should do the trick. Be sure to run latest TC.

Here is my exact code...

I'll look at what version I'm running. Is there an upgrade guide or is it simple just swapping .dll's? I'm so close to launch I don't want to cause myself hours of work if I don't have to. I'll look at revisions and see what is included before I upgrade..

You just download the package version that you want to update to and install as normal Umbraco package.

So I just re-install over top of the current install?

I've made several changes to views. A lot of them are because of the way tax is viewed. It was included in subtotals etc, and I had to undo all of that so it makes sense to me/customer. 

Obviously I should make a backup, but do you expect it will overwrite all of my changes to emails, views etc? It shows my current version is 2.2.1

We dont overwrite views when you just update Tea Commerce. Only the basic ones in TC. The order confirmation emial and edit order template is not overwritten.

is working on a reply...
