Universal email formatting body output

Hello,

Everything is working fine with Universal Email but I would like to have the output structured to separate information instead of a single line...

Example:
Currently is name email phone..

would like:
name
email
phone

Basically I want to break the line at the end of that fields output.

I have tried <br>, \n, and \r in the body's dynamic string but it's not working.

Suggestions,

Thanks
Bob

Have you tried using <br /> which is the correct line break for XHTML?

yes, that was tried and I'm still getting a single string output

What's the email code look like?

Jimmy,

The form is typical:
<form action="contact.php" method="post">

The email code from Universal email's output in the WAUE_contact_1.php is below:


//Start Mail Body
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
$MailBody = $MailBody . ((isset($_POST["company"]))?$_POST["company"]:"");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . ((isset($_POST["name"]))?$_POST["name"]:"");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . ((isset($_POST["phone"]))?$_POST["phone"]:"");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . ((isset($_POST["email"]))?$_POST["email"]:"");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . ((isset($_POST["comments"]))?$_POST["comments"]:"");
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
//End Mail Body

Happy New Year!

Do you have an Email_Templates directory in your WA_Universal_Email directory? Universal email will use the templates in that directory to create the emails. These templates would be coded in html.

For example the $MailBody creation should look like this for the email template contactus.php:
//Start Mail Body

$MailBody = $MailBody . "";

ob_start();
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/contactus.php"));
$contents = ob_get_clean();

$MailBody = $MailBody . ($contents);
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
//End Mail Body

What were the steps you took to set up your Universal Email?

Jimmy,

I'm not using a template, I didn't feel that was necessary for a simple form although I will keep this in mind for future forms.

The steps I took were to create the form then apply the Universal email behavior to it going through the tabs in its options panel.

There should be a simple method to create a line break for the field information in the behavior extension, shouldn't there? I would have thought that when formatting the body (in the body tab) HTML, or palin text I could indert a break manually but that doesn't seem to want to work

Bob

Univeral email seems to want to be in the root directory and not a sub folder, also did hard retuns in the body tab.

Thanks

Glad to hear you were able to get the email sent correctly. If you run into any additional issues, feel free to open a new thread.
