    Default Where is update order email html? to edit appearance

    Sorry not sure if thats what I am asking about,

    When I update the status of an order, an email gets sent to the customer notifying the recent change in status. The default layout of the email in html looks ugly and I would like to redo it, is there a way to and where is the file?

    I tried to search with Dev Tool Kit but couldnt get anything.

    Thanks,

    Gerry

    That link is to change the text, and I dont need that. What I would like is to change the layout:

    instead of:

    Store owner
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Order Number: xx
    Detailed Invoice:
    link to the website
    Date Ordered: Friday 09 February, 2007
    The comments for your order are: test123456789
    Your order has been updated to the following status:
    New status: Pending
    Please reply to this email if you have any questions.
    Have some thing like:


    Dear "customer",

    We would like to inform you that your order, (Order Number: 117, placed on Friday 07 March, 2008) has been updated to the following new status: Shipped. Please click here for a detailed invoice of your order.

    Please reply to this email if you have any questions or concerns.

    Thanks,

    That looks much better to me, but how to do it?

    Default Re: Where is update order email html? to edit appearance

    PS just remembered...I found the file to edit, while looking at another post last night, it was the "email_template_order_status.html" in email folder within cart. Though I tried to change the layout, and nothing came of it:

    I went from:

    <!-- Content Section -->
    <div class="content">
    <div>Dear $EMAIL_CUSTOMERS_NAME,</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_STORE_NAME</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_COMMENTS</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATED</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_LABEL</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_PLEASE_REPLY</div>
    </div>
    to:

    <!-- Content Section -->
    <div class="content">
    <div>Dear $EMAIL_CUSTOMERS_NAME,</br></div>
    <div>$EMAIL_STORE_NAME</div><div>$EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED</div><div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_COMMENTS</div><div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATED</div><div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_LABEL</div>
    <div>$EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_PLEASE_REPLY</div>
    </div>
    and it didnt work.

    Are you using HTML-formatted emails, or just text-only?
    The email template file you edited is for HTML emails only.
    If you want to change the text-only emails, you'll have to hard-code your changes to a non-overridable core file: /includes/classes/order.php
    Beware that any changes you make to that file will have to be manually redone during an upgrade.

    Dr. Byte,

    I am not using the "send email" function, as with those it is text or html. The order status updates sends the email out in html, and that is what I would like to edit like in my earlier post. Unless I am missing something.

    Just looked in email options in admin and it has: Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails - True.

    Guess I'll try it out and see what happens.?
