Wiggins Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 If I go to tools/Send e-mails and try and send an html e-mail, it comes out in just code. I checked in Config/E-Mail Options/Use Mime HTML when sending e-mails and it is marked "True" Anybody have this same problem? Anybody know what I should do? Thanks Don :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooke Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 i havent been able to get this to work either. and i cant seem to find a contrib for it. What? Yeah, I can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muttsnuts Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 i havent been able to get this to work either. and i cant seem to find a contrib for it. I have been trying to do this recently and have got some way but it's not perfect. Firstly I created a html newsletter as a html page. I installed FCKEditor Newsletter HTML. This contrib also requires you to install FCKEditor html editor which is easy enough but I had a few problems configuring although it works now. I started a new newsletter, copied the content of my html page newsletter and pasted it in the editor and it looked perfect, however when I previewed and received my newsletter there was masses of spaces added all over the place so not ideal. Perhaps someone else can offer more advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggins Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Thanks for the tip. I just knew that I can't be the only store with this problem. I have 4500 customers that it would be nice to market to with a nice looking html e-mail. I will check out the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggins Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 So far, I have not heard of any one successfully send an html e-mail out of OSC! :'( This totally amazes me. How is every one marketing to their customer bases? I used you be able to do it well prior to switching to OSC, we are building a newer site with the CRE version and e-mails work great. Please, some one here knows how to get this done. We did load the fckeditor cont and it still does not work. Their are a bunch of very talented folks on this forum, lets get this fixed.

Guest Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Can you share with us how you were able to get this to work? I have noticed this is a popular topic. I did not do anything special. Just enabling HTML from the osc admin settings. In some cases I used contributions to enhance the various emails a store would send but I used the default functions. There were a couple cases where I saw problems sending HTML mail and thought it was the osc code, tried different things with the mail code on the admin end (specifically the encode() function in the mime.php where it processes the mail parts), but after some investigation it was the mail server setup that had some problems with queueing the html emails. In another case I saw a problem was with the mail headers where had to setup the sendmail path using the '-f' switch to setup the return path. There were other threads about if you check the forum but basically the final code line for the mail in the email class you could try, return mail($to, $subject, $this->output, 'From: '.$from.$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $this->headers).$this->lf.implode($this->lf, $xtra_headers), '-f' . $from_addr); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplistic Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I found this to work!! Posted by Vger on a UK site The osCommerce Newsletter is set to send in plain text, and not in html. You need to enable the newsletter to render in HTML To render in html apply the following to (approx) line 63 of admin/includes/modules/newsletter/newsletter.php $mimemessage->add_html($this->content); //instead of add_text, which is the default Also, you need to enter the html code as one long piece of text, don't use any break commands else the breaks will be applied at the top of the newsletter.

tidus04 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi Simplistic, I tried ($mimemessage->add_html($this->content); //instead of add_text, which is the default) and it works. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
