newsletters not sending in HTML format - using newsletter subscribe mod

[shopjackiesjewels]

Hi-

I am using zen cart v1.3.7

I tried to send out a newsletter to people who have checked HTML as their preference towards emails but when the newsletter is sent it converts it to TEXT-Only. So these html emails arent working and with my old zen cart it worked fine. Do you know what the problem is?


Also, when I try to send out an email in admin < send email, it does not deliver the email. after i hit send, this shows up at the top of admin:

Notice: Email sent to: angela183########################## (0)

The 0 above, indicating that the email was not sent.


Please help!

Jackie,

Have a look at this thread, suggest you implement the changes there.

sorry to be a bother on this subject but i tried this:

To sum up, and consolidate everything into 1 post -

To increase the chances of emails sent from admin as HTML actually arriving as HTML, particularly to webmail based email systems such as hotmail, yahoo mail, gmail etc.; and to allow test newsletters sent to the admin email address to arrive as HTML, do the following:

Copy /includes/extra_configures/email_use_8bit.php to /admin/includes/extra_configures, so that both folders have a copy of the file.
Replace /includes/functions/functions_email.php with the attached copy, which incorporates DrBytes' suggested changes.

and it didnt fix my problem.
Thank you for the help so far.

Do you have a set of recommended email settings from your hosting service?

[shopjackiesjewels]

im not sure. how would i find that out?

[Chuckl]

Your hosting company may have a support section with a settings or frequently asked questions page with some info, or give them a call or drop them an email.
Just say that your website has a requirement to send out confirmation emails, and an they tell you the recommended settings/setup to do so.

If you're uncertain of what your email settings might be, simply send a support ticket to your related web hosting service and they should reply with detailed instructions on this subject.

These things worked before i upgraded my zen cart site from v1.3.0 to v1.3.7. i think the prob may be with the newsletter mod possibly?

[TheOracle]

If you installed the newsletter MOD, make sure it's entirely compatible with the newest release of Zen-Cart. The unfortunite thing is that it might be announced as: Zen-Cart v1.3x compatible but might not be entirely true.

Is there a v1.3.7 updated newsletter mod? do you think if i install that over the old newsletter mod the prob could be resolved?
