Hi!

I'm trying to change the registration e-mail of virtuemart to include images.

The e-mail is in \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\languages\common\english.php

Code: [ Select ]
'USEND_MSG_ACTIVATE' => 'Hello %s,
 
Thank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
%s
 
After activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:
 
Username - %s
Password - %s',
  1. 'USEND_MSG_ACTIVATE' => 'Hello %s,
  2.  
  3. Thank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
  4. To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
  5. %s
  6.  
  7. After activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:
  8.  
  9. Username - %s
  10. Password - %s',



This is what i've changed to:

Code: [ Select ]
'USEND_MSG_ACTIVATE' => '?>
   <div><img src="www.mydomain.com/templates/mytemplate/images/error.png"></div><?php
   Hello %s,
 
Thank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
%s
 
After activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:
 
Username - %s
Password - %s',
  1. 'USEND_MSG_ACTIVATE' => '?>
  2.    <div><img src="www.mydomain.com/templates/mytemplate/images/error.png"></div><?php
  3.    Hello %s,
  4.  
  5. Thank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
  6. To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
  7. %s
  8.  
  9. After activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:
  10.  
  11. Username - %s
  12. Password - %s',


This is the e-mail i receive:

Code: [ Select ]
?><div><img src="www.mydomain.com/templates/mytemplate/images/error.png"></div><?php

Also tried this way:

   Hello %s,
 
Thank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
%s
 
After activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:

Password - %s',
  1. 'USEND_MSG_ACTIVATE' => '<div><img src="www.mydomain.com/templates/mytemplate/images/error.png"></div>
  2.    Hello %s,
  3.  
  4. Thank you for registering at %s. Your account is created and must be activated before you can use it.
  5. To activate the account click on the following link or copy-paste it in your browser:
  6. %s
  7.  
  8. After activation you may login to %s using the following username and password:
  9.  
  10. Username - %s
  11. Password - %s',


And nothing!
He reads it as plain text, how can i "say" to read it as html so that he can output it correctly?

Thanks
Peter

You can use these kind of headers:
$headers = "From: \"$fromName\" <$fromMail>" . "\r\n" .
"Reply-To: \"$fromName\" <$fromMail>" . "\r\n" .
"Return-Path: \"$fromName\" <$fromMail>". "\r\n" .
"Message-Id: <".time().".xyz@$domain>" ."\r\n".
'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'. "\r\n".
'X-Mailer: PHP-'. PHP_VERSION;

See the "Content-Type". It is important.

To all I suggest one phpmailer
because I found it is useless to waste time trying to use simple php function. With this you easily do what you want in mail.
