Add site logo to outgoing emails

[zalik22]

Hi,

 

I would like to add my site logo to all outgoing email. Is there a way to do this without installing a contribution? I searched for about 30 minutes but did not have any luck (all posts were either unanswered or led to a contribution). I want the logo to appear at the top of all my emails. What files would I have to change and what area would I have to paste the code? I appreciate your help.

 

Thanks!

I am in admin.orders.php and here is my code:

 

 

$email = <img src="http://www.mysite.com/catalog/images/oscommerce.jpg"> $check_status['customers_name'] . ',' . "\n\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $oID . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_catalog_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $oID, 'SSL') . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . tep_date_long($check_status['date_purchased']) . "\n\n" . $notify_comments . sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE, $orders_status_array[$status]);

 

I am getting an error. Can anybody please help?

 

Thanks!

html tags should be enclosed in quotes within php so

 

$email = '<img src="http://www.mysite.com/catalog/images/oscommerce.jpg">' . $check_status['customers_name'] ...............................other code

can someone show me the code to get this to work in the emails that are sent to the store and customer after a purchase is made? I tried placed some test orders and it doesnt appear on that email--maybe I put it in the wrong place or file? any help is appreciated! Thanx

[Guest]

double check the html is on when sending emails. osc admin->Configuration->E-Mail Options

[rabbitseffort]

yeah it is

but still not getting it to go thru with the logo--here is my line 43-55 from orders.php

$customer_notified = '0';
	  if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify'] == 'on')) {
		$notify_comments = '';
		if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify_comments']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify_comments'] == 'on')) {
		  $notify_comments = sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_COMMENTS_UPDATE, $comments) . "\n\n";
		}

		$email = '<img src="http://www.miysite.com/catalog/images/logo1.jpg">' . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $oID . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_catalog_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $oID, 'SSL') . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . tep_date_long($check_status['date_purchased']) . "\n\n" . $notify_comments . sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE, $orders_status_array[$status]);

		tep_mail($email = '<img src="http://www.mysite.com/catalog/images/logo1.jpg">' . $check_status['customers_name'], $check_status['customers_email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

		$customer_notified = '1';
	  }

 

any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks :thumbsup:

[Guest]

you need to put it in the actual mail content not in the to correspondence.

 

so it should be:

 

$customer_notified = '0';
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify'] == 'on')) {
$notify_comments = '';
if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify_comments']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['notify_comments'] == 'on')) {
$notify_comments = sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_COMMENTS_UPDATE, $comments) . "\n\n";
}

$email = '<img src="http://www.miysite.com/catalog/images/logo1.jpg">' . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $oID . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_catalog_href_link(FILENAME_CATALOG_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $oID, 'SSL') . "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . tep_date_long($check_status['date_purchased']) . "\n\n" . $notify_comments . sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE, $orders_status_array[$status]);

tep_mail($check_status['customers_name'], $check_status['customers_email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

$customer_notified = '1';
}

 

cuz the $email variable includes the picture/html. Also from the orders will only work when you change the order's status. For the initial order it's the checkout_process.php that needs to be modified.

thanx--I will give it a go in a bit and post back--seems to make logical sense--although my brain does not always work logically! lol

Thanx enigma--much appreciation

[rabbitseffort]

so if I want to add the image in the initial sent email after an order is placed I will do it in checkout_process.php

here is the code that I think I need to edit for that to happen but am unsure how to put it, any suggestions?

$customer_notification = (SEND_EMAILS == 'true') ? '1' : '0';
 $sql_data_array = array('orders_id' => $insert_id, 
					  'orders_status_id' => $order->info['order_status'], 
					  'date_added' => 'now()', 
					  'customer_notified' => $customer_notification,
					  'comments' => $order->info['comments']);
 tep_db_perform(TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY, $sql_data_array);

 

or maybe it will go in this code?

// lets start with the email confirmation
 $email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" . 
			 EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . 
			 EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id . "\n" .
			 EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n" .
			 EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";
 if ($order->info['comments']) {
$email_order .= tep_db_output($order->info['comments']) . "\n\n";
 }
 $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS . "\n" . 
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . 
			  $products_ordered . 
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";

 for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($order_totals); $i<$n; $i++) {
$email_order .= strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['title']) . ' ' . strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['text']) . "\n";
 }

 if ($order->content_type != 'virtual') {
$email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS . "\n" . 
				EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
				tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n";
 }

 $email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS . "\n" .
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
			  tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n";
 if (is_object($$payment)) {
$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" . 
				EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
$payment_class = $$payment;
$email_order .= $payment_class->title . "\n\n";
if ($payment_class->email_footer) { 
  $email_order .= $payment_class->email_footer . "\n\n";
}
 }
 tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

Thanks again for the help :)

ok--figured it out--so everyone knows, this is how to add an image to the order email that the customer gets, go to checkout_process.php and around line 222 find this code:

// lets start with the email confirmation
$email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" .

and under that add this with the correct link to your image or logo:

$email = '<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/images/logo1.jpg">' . "\n" .

and you can add a simple thank you text like this after that line:

$email_order .= "\r\nThank you for your order! " .

so it all together will look like this:

// lets start with the email confirmation
$email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" .
$email = '<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/images/logo1.jpg">' . "\n" .
$email_order .= "\r\nThank you for your order! " .

 

Hope this helps someone!
