2.5.7 - Tourny Disqualification email

You may want to review the syntax used for these game_settings variables...

Currently, it sends the email using BBcode instead of HTML - so the formatting does not display properly in the email.

Example email:

Hello <username>,<br />
<br />
after not playing for 7 days in the <b>Snake</b>-Tournament you got disqualified.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.website.com/forum/arcade.php?do=viewtourney&tid=5" target="_blank">Click here</a> to view the tournament.

This is the same problem I mentioned over here . But nobody has replied yet, which I'm surprised about as I would of thought this will be affecting a lot of users.

The problem is the emails are being sent in html format, but the content type header that goes with vB emails is for text emails:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

so all the html code is displayed as text. The emails need to be sent in plain text format (like they were in 2.5.6) to be displayed correctly in the mailclient.

I have removed all the bold and italic tags from the messages in the admin control panel and editted the variable $mailmessage in arcade.php to show the URL as a regular URL rather than in the href tag. But I'll be darned if I can get rid of those br tags.

Anyone else seeing this or got a solution??

Just downloaded 2.5.8 and the code in arcade.php and mod_arcade.php for the sending of email notifications has not been changed so I'm guessing this update has not fixed this particular bug.

Any news Mr Z?

Is this problem solved yet?

*bump*

I updated to v2.5.9 when it was released and still have this same problem with all the notification emails. Any ideas, anyone?
