Thread: How do I use HTML when sending Emails to Users in the CP?

Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago by David Copeland
How do I use HTML when sending Emails to Users in the CP? (The default email program sends straight text out. I'd like to use HTML to dress up our emails) If not, how would I increase the size of the small text that is used in sending out emails?

AdminCP -> Languages + Phrases -> Phrase Manager. Drop down box at the top, select Email Subject Text. All the phrases pertaining PM's and emails are there.

I was not aware it was possible to enable HTML in outgoing e-mails from vBulletin without modifying the code.

will this be added? it would be a great feature. we can't use it without pretty links.

There are currently no firm plans regarding this.

The emails are phrases. You could try bbcode or HTML.

That would still not send these as HTML though.

Your issue here is that somewhere in the mail function, there is a line something like: Content-type: text/plain; This would have to be changed to Content-type: text/html; Obviously this is not the place to discuss code changes. Hopefully I don't get an infraction.

Since you've directly asked, the complete code to send an HTML e-mail is: Code: mail($address, $subject, $message, "MIME-Version: 1.0Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"); That's taken from a working script I use on another website. You will of course need to change the outgoing e-mail messages to have HTML (even as simple as adding <br /> at the end of each line). But there aren't that...
