Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 How do I bold (<bold>) the Update status in the outgoing email to the customer to make it easier to read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm just speculating.... Looking at the code.... I'd start in /admin/includes/languages/english/orders.php Change this code: define('EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE', 'Your order has been updated to the following status.' . "\n\n" . 'New status: %s' . "\n\n" . 'Please reply to this email if you have any questions.' . "\n"); to define('EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATE', 'Your order has been updated to the following status.' . "\n\n" . 'New status: <b>%s</b>' . "\n\n" . 'Please reply to this email if you have any questions.' . "\n"); If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Guest Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm sorry, that didn't work. Nor did id work when I replaced <b></b> with <strong></strong>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 So.... What did the email look like in that area? :unsure: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Email is such a fickle woman... <_< That was the right code in the right place..... I'm stumped.... :huh: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

♥Vger Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Your recommendation would work for text on the website, but not within the email sent. osCommerce sends emails in plain text, without formatting. Even if you changed it to html there's no guarantee that people would see it - different email clients work in different ways and many people have their mail programmes set to receive only in plain text (in which case they see all of the html markup).
