How to change email text

zews · April 9th, 2009, 04:14 AM

After upgrading to 3.1 email sent from server are corrupted. Where can I find the email texts and translate them?

See examples of e-mails:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

what download are you using?

As you can see there are a lot of visible <br /> codes and links are missing.

Where are the email-text now? In the database or in a file, in case which?

I have the 5th April build.

You can choose to send HTML email in admin settings.

Your email string should be in the database under edit language strings and you can search for it.

In my admin settings I have html email off and send mail as email.

I do not want to send as html, I just don't want the <br /> tags to show in the email as they didn't do before.

Some of the emails are as strings in the phrase database, but not the auction emails - they are as code in sendnotice.php - maybe they can be moved into strings in the database?

I have tested several things now, and I cannot get the email to function properly.

I have tested with the report email.

With setting Email and HTML of the result is:

Quote:

*user* has complained (^reason) about one of the ads in the database:<br />
<br />

*user* is name of the user - that works fine, but the email text stops there.

With html on:

Quote:

*user* has complained (^reason) about one of the ads in the database:

I turned html of again, and removed the nl2br() from pp-inc.php and that was better:

Quote:

*user* has complained (^reason) about one of the ads in the database:

<a href="*url*" target="_blank">*url*</a>

with the following description:
*desc*

But still there are two errors: reason doen't show and the link is in html code.

Something must be wrong with the email system - does it work like it should on the demo site?

Can you please actually post your email so I can see what might be wrong.

I have posted them in post 6. Just removed personal information. They are short like that, but removing nl2br resulted in the last email with full text like shown above.

You have blanked out the url so I am not really sure what your trying to say which is indeed why I need a real email nothing you alter.

Based on the actions I see you might try redownloading the build and uploading pp-inc.php and misc.php those are the two files that govern that process.

I am running the latest version, clean install, and my complaint emails are doing this as well.

All I am getting in the email is:

USER has complained (^reason) about one of the ads in the database:

.. and thats it.

Any ideas?

I will test it and see but we do declare these variables in misc.php simple str_replace in php.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

ClayGP · May 21st, 2011, 05:07 PM

Well. I tried setting HTML email to NO, and now it seems to be working (almost).

I am now getting the "more information" and the link .. but it still says ^reason.

Looks like the HTML version is broken.

Chuck S · May 21st, 2011, 07:48 PM

The ^reason line must be added for subject the code should look like this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

ClayGP · May 22nd, 2011, 09:54 AM

Thanks! .. but that didn't work. I got it working though. It should be:

$letter = str_replace("^reason","$reason",$letter);
(not in the subject)
