I think it should be possible to choose plain text format for the email. Now there is html table mess and user don't have control about it at all. Columns are too wide etc.. And I don't want to change the source code.

Hi tonalt,

There should - but for some reason it doesn't work when we tried to change it. You'll find a thread here somewhere.

You can use an email template to control your output instead.

Hi Bob

It seems that email template uses html table by default also. It's just one column but it's table...

I want to get control to make plain text and use tabulator characters (ASCII value 9) as separators. IMHO it looks much nicer than HTML table and all email clients understands that.

Hi Tonalt,

Ok, a new feature for this will be added by the next release!

Cheers

Hi,

any new infos? I really need to send the form in plain text.
The mail is going to our ticket system "ITSM" and it only understands plain text.

Sorry for my bad english :blush:

ive edited now the chronocontact.php

from

Code: Select all: $html_message = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\"> <html> <head> <title></title> <base href=\"JURI::base()/\" /> <style type=\"text/css\"> "." </style> </head> <body>$html_message</body></html>";

to

Code: Select all: if ($mode != false){ $html_message = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\"> <html> <head> <title></title> <base href=\"JURI::base()/\" /> <style type=\"text/css\"> "." </style> </head> <body>$html_message</body></html>"; }

and

from

Code: Select all: /** * Send the email(s) */ $email_sent = JUtility::sendMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $html_message, true, $ccemails, $bccemails, $attachments, $replyto_email, $replyto_name );

to

Code: Select all: /** * Send the email(s) */ $email_sent = JUtility::sendMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $html_message, $mode, $ccemails, $bccemails, $attachments, $replyto_email, $replyto_name );

Then i set in On Submit code - before sending email:

Code: Select all: if (!($mode == false)) { $mode = true };

Also i have taken all html stuff out of my template and it looks good :cheer:

Only one last, little problem: I can´t use öäü or ß in the EMail Template. If i use the code after is cutted off.

Hi Glare,

Nice, thank you.

For the öäü or ß you probably need to use html entities ö ä ü and ß

by **Glare** on Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:54 am

if i use the html entities they won´t be translated, they become ö in the mail too.

for example: i use in the Template "Lotus Notes Größe (Größe)" and become in the mail the same.

Hi Glare,

Ohhhh . . . not so good, I'd forgotten that you were using plain text. Is there a character set problem? (I don't understand tham at all)

Bob

by **Glare** on Wed Jul 23, 2008 11:30 am

Hmm, i don´t think so, if i use these letters in a formfield everything is ok, but wenn i use öäü or ß in the template the rest is cut off

MyTemplate:

Code: Select all: Folgenden User neuanlegen: {UAnrede} {UVorname} {UName} Eintrittsdatum (dd/mm/yyyy): {UDatum} Abteilung: {UAbt} (Kostenstelle {UKST}) Firma: {UFirma} geplante Durchwahl: {UTel} Standort: {UStandort} Berechtigungen und Freigaben: Laufwerk N: {LW_N} MS Office: {Office} Lotus Notes DB Größe: {Lotus_Notes} MS Access: {Access} CWWS: {CWWS_A} {CWWS_S} DataWareHouse: {DWH_A} {DWH_S} HOST 3270: {HOST}

and after i press SAVE or APPLY it´s that:

Code: Select all: Folgenden User neuanlegen: {UAnrede} {UVorname} {UName} Eintrittsdatum (dd/mm/yyyy): {UDatum} Abteilung: {UAbt} (Kostenstelle {UKST}) Firma: {UFirma} geplante Durchwahl: {UTel} Standort: {UStandort} Berechtigungen und Freigaben: Laufwerk N: {LW_N} MS Office: {Office} Lotus Notes DB Gr

by **Glare** on Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:28 pm

Uh, now there´s a new problem.

I´ve used this at On Submit code - before sending email:

Code: Select all: <? $rows[0]->emailsubject = "Userneuanlage: ".$_POST['UVorname']." ".$_POST['UName']; if (!($mode == false)) { $mode = true }; ?>

But now he send me as subject only what i´ve entered at the general page at EMail subject

by **GreyHead** on Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:36 pm

Hi Glare,

Oh - I had though the problem was with sending the template not with saving it. I think perhaps the code has to be hacked in admin.chronocontact.php. Look for the saveChronoContact function and somewhere in there the template code has to be htmlencoded.

Strange, put the first line alone in a new line without the PHP opening tag ?

and whats the problem with the character set ? I cant understand !!
