Hi...
is there a solution to chance the email format from HTML to (pure) TEXT?

Thanks For Your Help.

Hi EPS,

Yes, but you need to hack the code. In chronocontact.php look for this code near the end line 438 in my version

/**
 * Send the email(s)
 */
$email_sent = mosMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $html_message, true, $ccemails, $bccemails, $attachments, $replyto_email, $replyto_name);

add one line and change 'true' to $mode

if ( !($mode === false ) { $mode = true };
  $email_sent = mosMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $html_message, $mode, $ccemails, $bccemails, $attachments, $replyto_email, $replyto_name);

Now you'll need to include

<?php $mode = true; ?>

in the OnSubmit before email field.

The overrides ChronoForms assumption that it will send html emails and setting $mode = false tell it to send a plain text email, if you don't do this then it will continue to send html emails.

Note: Not tested and the === comparison may be too sensitive, try == if you get odd results.

Hi EPS,

Sorry, I missed a ')' in there - should be:

if ( !($mode == false ) ) { $mode = true };

ok, now it works.

Ã¤hm... no it works not.

the mail is still a HTML-Mail

(a HTML File in attachement)

i want a plain text email, without attachement :-)

Hi EPS,

after applying all Bob's steps, please find this piece of code and cooment/delete it :


$html_message = "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\">
						  <html>
							  <head>
								  <title></title>
								  <base href=\"$mosConfig_live_site/\" />
								  <style type=\"text/css\">
								  ".strip_tags( $chronocontact_params->get('newsletter_css'))."
								  </style>
							  </head>
							  <body>$html_message</body></html>";

Cheers

Max_admin 23 Nov, 2007

Hi, No, I mean you set the email type to "template" and not "fields", make your template pure text of course, this works ?

Hi EPS,

This will need some investigations, I will look into it and maybe include a new option for the email type at the next release!
