[SOLVED] HTML in Welcome Email was created by porlhews

Hi All,

Firstly thanks for a brilliant component - stunning, simply stunning!

I'm running CB 1.3.1 on Joomla 1.5.22. I've set the welcome email message up so that it send my newly confirmed users a lovely message which includes their particulars for logging into the site.

I'd like to customise this email a little and include some images through the use of html. I've tried pasting some html into the appropriate field of the Registration tab, but to no avail. I've also looked at using the Auto Welcome plugin, but this doesn't seem to do what I'm after either.

Please can you advise me on how to go about this?

Kind regards,

Paul Hughes

The Welcome and Pending emails are setup by default not to allow HTML. We've plans to add a parameter to allow selecting if the email should send with HTML support or not in a future release. For the time being you can make the following core edit to force the email to use HTML.

IN: administrator/components/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.class.php
ON: Line 867
FROM:

$cbNotification->sendFromSystem( $user, implode( ', ', $msg['emailUserSubject'] ), implode( '\n\n', $msg['emailUserMessage'] ) );

TO:

$cbNotification->sendFromSystem( $user, implode( ', ', $msg['emailUserSubject'] ), implode( '\n\n', $msg['emailUserMessage'] ), true, 1 );

Hi,

Thanks for that - worked exactly as I wanted it to.

I've got a new issue now though - in my email I include the [DETAILS] tag which then processes the email as:

Email : me@example.com Username : MYUSERNAME Password : MYPASSWORD

Before each of these occupied seperate lines, but now I've introduced HTML they're all on one line. I've tried using the [USERNAME] and [PASSWORD] tags, but the password one refuses to process.

Any thoughts? Can I introduce a few <br> into the [DETAILS] script somewhere?

Appears you'll need to edit the function _getUserDetails inside of comprofiler.class.php and change all \n to <br /> as appears the \n linebreaks are hardcoded and do not translate to <br /> when HTML mode is used (again, we've not yet implemented HTML support for Welcome and Pending emails). Please note being core edits you will lose all your changes upon upgrading CB.

That's excellent - thanks for the help. Worked a charm.

Appreciate hacks to the core will be written over on updates, I'll just have to keep on hacking it till HTML emails are supported.

What a fantastic product CB really is! How is it not core to Joomla?

Thanks for your kind words - make a big difference to us to have people chime in and pat us on the back.

Sometime we get such reviews also on our JED listing (maybe not often enough ...):
