How to change the Email 'From' name

Post by Ledgerous »

Hi everyone,

I have just completed my 2nd install of Mantis and all has gone well. I did an initial install a week or so ago to 'test' it out, and I love what I see. Great job by all involved, you are to be commended.

I must say, the documenation is a bit lacking, but that is the price we pay for open source I suppose! And I have been able to work MOST things out with help of the Wiki, forum and mailing lists. In fact I've managed to get right to the end without needing to post a question... until now. :)

-------------

I have noticed that emails send from Mantis have a from 'Name' of "Mantis Bug Tracker", the reply address is able to be set in the config_inc.php, however I am unable to find a place to change the 'From' name?

Currently they show as: "From: Mantis Bug Tracker [noreply@mydomain.com]"

I would like it to show: "From: Mycompany [noreply@mydomain.com]"

Any assisance would be appreicated!! :D

In the config_inc.php : $g_from_name = 'Mycompany';

is that something you add to existing file?
If so where in the file should it be placed?
