default mail address
Permalink
i've read info on this link and it seems completely out of date:https://documentation.concrete5.org/developers/sending-mail/configur...
I don't have a file called concrete.php in my application/config folder.
My files are called:
app.php
database.php
Despite searching online and in forums I can't find an explanation.
Surely changing the default sending email address function could be added to the back end rather than faffing around with code that can so easily break the site.
Any help much appreciated.

That documentation is current, and the instructions do say "Please note that this file does not exist by default and you will need to create it in order to define any of these configurations." in the comments there is also a link to an Add-On that will add these settings to the dashboard.
Thanks hutman, sorry i should have mentioned that i did create a file called concrete.php and add the code to it and it also broke the site.
Was it meant to be in the overrides folder?

No, it's not meant to be in the overrides folder. What was the content of your file and what was the error on your site?
this was the code in the file concrete.php
<?php
return array(
'email' => array(
'default' => array(
'address' => 'your@email.com',
'name' => 'Your Site', // this can be left out
),
),
);
totally bonkers, ive just created the file again and added as the attached screen grab and im not getting the site error. I tested the form but its still sending from default address.
Obviously i changed the address in the above code to the one i want to use.

Well I'm glad it's not blowing up anymore, but since that definition is for Private message notifications, Conversations new message notifications, and New badge notifications for users it won't change the forms.
Take a look at the "Group B: Emails that allow defining the sender address individually for each message" section of that documentation page for the items you need to add to your file.

You are a genius!
To my amazement it worked.
Added this to concrete.php
I deliberately left the password one blank as hope it will still use default email address for this, or doesn't it matter?
Thanks so much for your help, still feel C5 should add this to the back end for other users who are less than great techies like me :-)

Leaving that password one blank will make the address blank, not set it back to default, I would just remove that portion of the config.
OK I understand, thanks so much again for your help!
