[SOLVED] E-mail's layout

AfroSamurai 12 Apr, 2008

Hi,

I'm totally new with Chronoforms and so far, I love it!

Just a little problem tho... I don't really like the way the e-mail is displayed. The thing is, I'm creating a reservation form for a web site and I find the default sent e-mail to be a bit pack vertically and maybe to spaced horizontally.

Is the a way to format the styles and looks of this e-mail? If so, could someone please show me a detailed example because I'm not a pro.

Basically, the actual mail looks like this:
[SOLVED] E-mail's layout image 1

But what I would like is something like this:
[SOLVED] E-mail's layout image 2

Thank you very much in advance for your precious help.🙂

I tried to do an Email template (assuming that this code window is for this purpose) and, it did not change anything what so ever in the received Email.

Here is my code for "template":

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table width="200" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="84" valign="top"><div align="left">Nom :</div></td>
    <td width="218" valign="top"><div align="left">{nom}</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top"><div align="left">E-mail :</div></td>
    <td valign="top"><div align="left">{mail}</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2" valign="top">==================================</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top"><div align="left">Sujet :</div></td>
    <td valign="top"><div align="left">{sujet}</div></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top"><div align="left">Message :</div></td>
    <td valign="top"><div align="left">{message}</div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Am I close to something?! Because so far, nothing works.face-meh-blank Post edited by: AfroSamurai, at: 2008/04/12 18:15

Hi AfroSamurai,

You are very close, at the general tab, change this setting :
Select the format to use for the email

to be email template😉

Hmmm... just an other little question...

I know this is a French matter but any how...

How come in the text of my Email I get a slash bar ( \ ) in front of every (') accent? for example, l\ 'UvinertisÃ© should look like this instead l'UvinertisÃ©.

I've even noticed that it looks like this a couple of place in my Joomla. Any ideas? Post edited by: AfroSamurai, at: 2008/04/12 18:44

lollllll the slash doesn't even appear in my post! ^^ But do you know what I meen?

OK so... again with this last little detail. (I've maid a small picture to show the actual back slash problem)

So, in the Email for example, the word should look like this: l'acroissement. But instead, it looks like this: [SOLVED] E-mail's layout image 3

How do I get rid of the back slashes in text?

Max_admin 13 Apr, 2008

Hi AfroSamurai,

at the on Submit BEFORE email, you can write tghis code :


$html_message = stripslashes($html_message);

Hi Max,

I did what you said (if I'm not mistaking)... adding the code $html_message = stripslashes($html_message); in the On Submit code - before sending email window and it doesn't fix it. I only get the line of code displayed in the web page after the message is sent and the back slashes are still there in my Email.😟

Am I doing something wrong? Post edited by: AfroSamurai, at: 2008/04/13 16:33

Sorry, add it between 2 php tags : <?php ?>
