Greetings Ubercarters,

I have a weird issue going on with my store. When emails are sent from the store, they're showing up as being sent from "unknown sender" instead of the actual email I have set up as the default site email address I set up in Admin > Site Configuration > Site Information for the whole site.

Is there a setting in Ubercart that I'm missing?

Thanks!

On my site, it's pulling the address from /admin/settings/site-information.

Try editing the store information. Let us know what happens.

Oops...in the site info, I had filled in E-mail Address but not the E-mail From Address, which is what it pulls from apparently for order updates.

Thanks for your help guys. Color me embarrassed.

Don't worry about it... I also think that extra field is confusing and probably unnecessary. I'll look into changing it for Alpha 8.

Finally got around to removing the superfluous e-mail field. Added a function to uc_store.module that will format an e-mail from field based on "Store Name ".

That's interesting. I'm testing a new site (http://babyongrand.com) and am getting "Unknown" in the From field for admin order notifcations.

I've checked and made sure that the Store Name is filled in at /admin/store/settings/store/, and an e-mail address is entered both on /admin/settings/site-information and /admin/store/settings/store.

The Store Name is "Baby Grand" and the e-mail is info@.... I'm not completely sure which should be showing up in the From field, but in any case it isn't working.

Thanks for your help,

Jim

Changed line 355 in uc_notify.module to the following in core:

<?php
  $email_from = uc_store_email_from();
?>

Can you try that and let me know if it fixes it on your site? Will be in beta 7.

Also, the site looks great!
