Hi there,
I have been customising all my emails. somehow my email_template_tell_a_friend.html doesn't work. I altered the HTML to fit my site design. But when I send out the tell a friend, it still goes as unformatted text email. in stead of the html I made out of it.
other mails, like order update, or check out do get sent as my formatted html. Does anyone know if there is a setting I can change or what else goes wrong?
thanks :)
The tell-a-friend module only sends a text email.
It intentionally does not send as HTML so that spammers and hackers cannot abuse the form by sending rogue HTML and infecting recipients computers unknowningly.
It's a security thing.
ok thanks :D
Is there some reason why "email_template_tell_a_friend.html" is still included then?
Surely it's redundent.
Does this also apply to "email_template_contact_us.html"? Can this use HTML?
thx
d.
oh - thats good to know :) was trying to change the html template with no success - even deleted it and nothing changed - now i know why that was....Quote:

but how do i alter the tell_a_friend email then anyway? I want to put some php variables like customer country to the tell a friend email.
I already managed to get the variables to show up an the tell_a_friend page, but don`t know how to put them to the email. Any hints would be nice!
thanx!
figured it out - needed to edit the
/includes/modules/pages/tell_a_friend/header_php.php
file to fit my needs.
