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

Gc,
Take a look at this thread, should help:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58009

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",

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

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.?

Where do I change the email that comes to customers that says:
Thanks for shopping with us today!
The following are the details of your order.

   Order Number: 349
  Date Ordered: Friday 18 April, 2008
  Click here for a Detailed Invoice   

I would just like to add some text to where it says click here.

Thanks so much for your help
