Modifying email templates
Using Jamroom
DannyA:So for
#3, I can just insert any JRFunction and it will insert it into the HTML. (I'm sure this was obvious but I had no idea the email templates worked that way). So what i want is:
<a href={$follower_profile_url} {$follower_name} </a> is following you.Correct?
Sort of - the variables available inside are going to change a bit depending on the email template, but yeah - that's correct.
Quote:I'm surprised all the email templates aren't HTML (with failover to text) by default. Isn't html the default format of email for the past 20 years or so? Am I doing something wrong here?
I don't believe so at all - "transactional" emails (i.e. validation, forgot email, short notifications, etc.) in my opinion should be text, but other types of email (say a newsletter, etc.) can be HTML/text. That is sort of the industry "standard" for SAAS, which is why we've set it up that way.
One thing we can add that might help though is to set it up so if HTML is detected in the message it sends it as HTML, otherwise text - that keeps you from having to worry about the send_as_html flag. I thought about that when looking at for my first response, so will try to get that in.
Hope this helps!
