Customising e-mail body

Thread began 8/04/2011 3:05 am by welcomcat385026 | Last modified 8/16/2011 12:50 pm by Jason Byrnes | 3852 views | 13 replies |

Customising e-mail body

Register: Register
MM insert: WAATKRegistrationForm

I followed the instruction below to remove the above field from e-mail body, but when I changed the template, mail didn't get sent at all. I also tried hidden_field (lower case)
Why is the button field name gets sent too?
One more question is I live in Australia and I need to customise date and time. How do I do it or how do I remove it.

php:
$remove = array();

$remove[]  = "";
$remove[]  = "x";
$remove[]  = "y";




to:

php:
$remove = array();

$remove[]  = "";
$remove[]  = "x";
$remove[]  = "y";
$remove[]  = "Hidden_Field";

if you undo the changes, does it start sending the email again?


can you send a copy of the page with the changes in a zip archive so I can see if there is a syntax error.

removing parts of email body and header.jpeg wouldn't download.

Register: Register
MM insert: WAATKRegistrationForm

Somehow email got sent with the following code, however these two fields still show up in the email.
<?php
$remove = array();
$remove[] = "";
$remove[] = "x";
$remove[] = "y";
$removeBegins[] = "hidden";
$removeBegins[] = "submit";

$removeBegins = array();
$removeBegins[] = "Security";


$removeEnds = array();
$removeEnds[] = "_x";
$removeEnds[] = "_y";

$removeIncludes = array();
$removeIncludes[] = "Security";
?>

I am having a great trouble to customise email template.

I've tried to remove unnecessary input field shown in e-mail body. (button, mminset, etc.)
Please help me as soon as possible.

you have to add those form element names to the remove array:

$remove = array();
$remove[] = "";
$remove[] = "x";
$remove[] = "y";
$removeBegins[] = "hidden";
$removeBegins[] = "submit";
$removeBegins[] = "Register";
$removeBegins[] = "MM_insert";


to show an image in the email, you would need to use a fully qualified URL to the image file in the src tag:

<img src="http://mysite.com/imapges/image.jpg" />


the code that displays the time in the emal is:

php:
<?php $now time(); ?><?php echo date("n-j-Y"$now); ?>




you can remove that code or change it to:

php:
<?php $now time(); ?><?php date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Perth'); echo date("n-j-Y"$now); ?>

to change the time zone. a list of supported Australia time zones can be found here:
timezones.australia.php



to customize the labels that show in the email, you would need to chage the name s of the form elements, be aware that doing so, however, may have other consequences on your page. it may break other functionality.

Thank you!

Thank you, the eyesore's gone. It would be difficult if the labels can't be manipulated easily, because I cannot put field names in PHPmyadmin in asian letters.

Time Zone

When I changed date/time code as instructed, e-mail didn't get sent.

PHP Code:
<?php $now = time(); ?><?php date_default_timezone_set('Australia/Queensland'); echo date("n-j-Y", $now); ?>
