Send HTML emails from adminCP · **Released**: 11-01-2005

***3.6.x version of hack here***

Well, this was asked for by many people (me included

) without ever being done so I recruited some of my more knowledgable friends in php to get the syntax right for the following hack.

It is done with 2 file edits but I'm sure that it could be done with a plugin if someone ever feels the need...

Step 1:
In admincp/email.php find:

Code:

 print_textarea_row($vbphrase['message_email'], 'message', '', 10, 50);

Directly below it place:

Code:

 print_yes_no_row('Send HTML Email?', 'sendhtml', 0);

Step 2:
In admincp/email.php find:

Code:

 construct_hidden_code('test', $vbulletin->GPC['test']);

Directly below it place:

Code:

 construct_hidden_code('sendhtml', $_POST['sendhtml']);

Step 3:
In includes/class_mail.php find:

Code:

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;

and replace with:

Code:

if($_POST['sendhtml'])  {
  $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
}else{
  $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
}

Special thanks goes to non vB users Darryn, Pink, DO, and Dang for the helping me with syntax and pointing me in the right direction to get this done.

(you may modify this hack at will... No permission needs to be granted)

EDIT:
Just installed on 3.5.1 and still works with no problem... Just changing the vB version
EDIT2:
Just installed on 3.5.2 and still works with no problem... Just changing the vB version
EDIT3:
Just installed on 3.5.3 and still works with no problem... Just changing the vB version
EDIT4:
Works for 3.5.4

Actually - make sure Send HTML Email? is selected as Yes.
In the User Name formfield - simply input your username.
Make sure Test Email Only? is selected as No.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
