HTML Email Feature
Hiyas,
What does it do? With this hack, your board will have "HTML email" feature. How does it work? After applying the hack, your users will be able to choose whether they want PLAIN TEXT emails or HTML messages and mails originated from your site will be sent accordingly. (At the moment works for PM and email notification mails). Your existing users who didnt change their mail settings will recieve the original plain texts mails, while users who asked for HTML mails will get mails in HTML format. All users can anytime change their mail settings inside User CP or by calling the new 2 links with one click that comes with the hack and update member's mail type. What versions of vbulletin does it work with? Hack tested with version 2.2.2, 2.2.6, 2.2.8 and 2.2.9 but I believe it will work with any versions > 2.0.3. Any Screenshots? See the message below Planned Future Features: * Hack will apply to ALL mails originated from your board (At the moment it is for PM and email notification mails) * Your HTML mails may include compiled data from your board such as "Last X message titles", "Recent Titles from the forum you subscribed", "Last X answered/unanswered messages", "user's incoming personal events", "Incoming general events from your calender" and etc. I plan to work on this hack only if it's considered useful and used by people. After spending a long time to code/debug/test/publish a hack, it's quite disappointing to see that 2 months later only 3-5 people used (installed) a hack. So if you use the hack, please dont forget to click INSTALL for this hack or for any hack you use! ;) Thank you and Enjoy..\\=^)) Logician |
Here is a screenshot for "new reply notification email". It's simply a HTML message so you can use any design you like. It's just a sample I use in my board.
Notice that the screenshot is NOT a webpage! It's the EMAIL your members (who choose to recieve HTML mails) gets. It looks like a webpage because it's in HTML format :) This also clarifies what "HTML email" mean if you dont know the term. In an other words HTML mails are the mails with color/background/images/bold-italic-underlined fonts just like web pages.. |
:eek: Is it easy to customise the email?

This has good potential, I may use this =) Thanks

Nice, really nice feature :)

You come to my resuce again! I just had a member request that e-mail from our forum come to him in HTML format. What I thought was impossible, you've made possible. I will install this later today for sure.
One quick question though: I'm using the Community Bulletin hack for sending weekly bulletins. Do you know if your hack will send these e-mails as HTML as wel? |

I was about to start writing this one out myself, but you posted this right before I had to, which I'm glad for because I didn't realize before I started how big of a hack this would be. Saved me alot of time.
One thing to note is that the font in the "HTML/Plain Text Emails" option on the Edit Options page is not the same as the rest of the page. This is easily fixed by modifying the modifyoptions, registeradult and registercoppa templates, and replacing PHP Code:

Great hack, Logician. |
