Create Account Email

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I was wondering if there is a way for the email that is sent upon successful creation of an account to be sent as HTML?

 

Does anyone know if and how to do this.

 

Thanks

Craig I could be wrong, but isn't this done by going through the admin :panel

 

admin.... configuration..... e-mail options ......Use MIME HTML when sending emails (true)?!

 

As I said I could be very wrong with regard to this.

 

Cheers

You would think so, but it doesn't fix it for me.

 

Is there anything else you need to do?

Hi

 

I actually have the same problem. Has anyone figured it out yet?

 

I've tried messing a little bit around with the shop/create_account.php around line 232 - see below. I've changed the "$email_text" to "$email_html" and changed the "EMAIL_WELCOME" to html-code, but it doesn't seem to do the trick! :( It just throws away all the tags when I recieve the e-mail. I have set the "Use MIME HTML when sending emails" to "true".

 

// build the message content
     $name = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;

     if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') {
        if ($gender == 'm') {
          $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MR, $lastname);
        } else {
          $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_MS, $lastname);
        }
     } else {
       $email_text = sprintf(EMAIL_GREET_NONE, $firstname);
     }

     $email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME . EMAIL_TEXT . EMAIL_CONTACT . EMAIL_WARNING;
     tep_mail($name, $email_address, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $email_text, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

     tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT_SUCCESS, '', 'SSL'));
   }
 }

 

Can anyone help????

 

Thanks,

Hi, wanted to do the same thing, basically when a customer signs up, osc would send an email in html. I was wondering if you guys found that out. Really would like to change the whole welcome email thing. Would be great if we could add logos or pictures or stuff. I know there are contribs that would help you create html email from the admin but there is no option to change the welcome email.

 

 

Hope someone could help

There a contributions to do this, the latest is Ultimate Html Emails V1.1 that is supported by its author.

Unfortunately that did not help me, but thanks for the suggestion.

 

Anyway I manage to add my logo/banner to my order process email.

In the catalog/includes/modules/shipping/paypal_standard.php (it should also works in catalog/checkout_process.php, as well as create_account.php) I used this contribution Email_order_clickable_link with a line added for to get the image. If you do not SSL , put false instead of true.

// lets start with the email confirmation

$email_order = NULL;

$link_to_order = tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', true);

 

if (EMAIL_USE_HTML) {

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_IMAGE . "\n\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_SEPARATOR1 . "\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_THANKS . "\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_SEPARATOR1 . "\n\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $order_id . "\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' <a href="' . $link_to_order . '">' . $link_to_order . '</a>' . "\n\n";

} else {

$email_order .= STORE_NAME . "\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n".

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_THANKS . "\n\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $order_id . "\n";

$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . $link_to_order . "\n\n";

}

 

unset($link_to_order);

$email_order .= EMAIL_COMMENTS;

if ($order->info['comments']) {

$email_order .= tep_db_output($order->info['comments']) . "\n";

 

In the store/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

 

I added

define('EMAIL_TEXT_IMAGE', '<IMG height=75 alt="" src="http://mywebsite.com/folder/folder/logo.gif" width=667>');

I also wanted more text eg a thank you and I defined that here also and spacers .

eg

define('EMAIL_TEXT_THANKS','<FONT color=#808080 size=4> Thank you for shopping with MY Store.</FONT>');

Since this also stands for corrections as I am not coder but maybe it will can help someone else and not confuse or someone can make it better.

cheers.
