Allow HTML confirmation emails
by lostnode » 9:51pm, Tue 03 Sep, 2013
THere was a plugin created for an earlier version that allowed Confirmation emails to contain HTML, this day and age this is almost a Must Have feature. Has it been incorprated into v3?

Yes, in phplist 3 the "system" messages for confirmation etc use a system template and can contain HTML.

I can't seem to get this working as intended. My problem is in the below code, if I put in the mail-> add_html($html_message); // customisation after the $mail =new PHPListMailer ... as described it doesn't work, all the HTML gets stripped, the IF statement afterwards is taking over. If I get rid of everything in the IF statement it works fine, but non HTML system messages get all the line breaks stripped from them and it looks horrible. What am I doing wrong?
- Code: Select all
list($htmlmessage,$textmessage) = constructSystemMail($message,$subject);
$mail = new PHPlistMailer('systemmessage',$destinationemail,false);
if (!empty($htmlmessage)) {
$mail->add_html($htmlmessage,$textmessage,getConfig('systemmessagetemplate'));
## In the above phpMailer strips all tags, which removes the links which are wrapped in < and > by HTML2text
## so add it again
$mail->add_text($textmessage);
}
$mail->add_text($textmessage);

Hi
which version of phpList are you using
which of the system messages are you referring to
can you share the code of the html subscriber messages that you are using
Is there a url that we could possibly look at....
regards
Alan

I'm running a new 3.05 install. The subscriber messages are actually the ones you have as an example on your website (thanks). When I use your code changes the signup emails are sent without using the HTML wrapper and template, which is ok, so using the $mail-> add_html($html_message); // customisation. But using that also makes all the plain text system messages (such as the subscriber notification to the admin) to be stripped of line breaks.
What I just found as a workaround (I'm sure not the write way to do it), is in the first line of the HTML for the custom subscription emails is <html xmlns=" ... so what I did was below, which sends those emails using your code change and all other emails using the original code.

if (strpos($html_message,'xmlns')) {
$mail-> add_html($html_message);
// customisation
} else {
if (!empty($htmlmessage)) {
$mail->add_html($htmlmessage,$textmessage,getConfig('systemmessagetemplate'));

The subscriber messages are self contained and do not use templates i.e.
Personally the missing line breaks in the Admin Subscriber Messages do not present a problem though with multiple subscriber fields (attributes) your solution should make the system messages easier to read.
