HTML Newsletter

[pjones]

I'm having problems getting the newsletter module to send HTML newsletters in V2.2. I see Steve Kemp's thread suggests a solution by modifying newsletter.php with:

 

function send($newsletter_id) {

$mail_query = tep_db_query("select customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_newsletter = '1'");

 

// Instantiate a new mail object

$mimemessage = new email(array('X-Mailer: osC mailer'));

 

// Build the text version

$text = strip_tags($text);

if (EMAIL_USE_HTML == 'true') {

$mimemessage->add_html($this->content);

} else {

$mimemessage->add_text($this->content);

}

 

// Send message

$mimemessage->build_message();

while ($mail = tep_db_fetch_array($mail_query)) {

$mimemessage->send($mail['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $mail['customers_lastname'], $mail['customers_email_address'], '', EMAIL_FROM, $this->title);

}

$newsletter_id = tep_db_prepare_input($newsletter_id);

tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_NEWSLETTERS . " set date_sent = now(), status = '1' where newsletters_id = '" . tep_db_input($newsletter_id) . "'");

}

}

?>

 

 

I've tried this and with the email option set to HTML true I get a crash in email.php. With the email option set to HTML false the newsletter comes through as HTML code only.

 

Has anyone got this working?
