Hello,

I had changed the template to the forum email notifications, but i realize that it isn't formatted has HTML and i put HTML tags in the template.

Is this supported? Forum notifications email with HTML format? How can i configure or do this?

Theres any example i can see?

thanks in advance,

Hi joe,

I needed to make this and i noted that it was just a change in a parameter in the call of the function Email.SendEmail in the Notification.cs file, which makes the email to be sent in HTML format. I had made that hardcoded, but i think i was very simple to make a configuration to define that in the CMS.

And change the position of the post body in the email template, because for default it comes in the top of the email and i had put it in a TAG in the ForumNotificationEmail.config

I’m writing that because if someone needed that, what in my experience has web developer is always wanted by clients, the debug work i had made can be useful to someone else, because is very simple for any developer that wanted that.

It’s the second position form the last that is boolean and says if the email is in HTML format or not, what is in the original code with the false value.

If someone need to send notification in HTML just make that change that i post here. The local is the notification.cs page and the SendForumNotificationEmail function:

Email.SendEmail(
notificationInfo.SmtpSettings,
notificationInfo.FromEmail,
row["Email"].ToString(), "", "",
emailSubject.ToString(),
body.ToString(), true, "Normal");

Another thing i had to change is the fact that when the user clicks the unsubscribe, it goes to the UnsubscribeForumThread.cs page and it verifies if the user is authenticated and if not it send a message that says "access denied". Most of the cases a user receive a notification he doesn’t have a open session in the site, so, it should send the user to login page. In my case i just removed the verification because the access to the email account is some kind of user access validation.

Thanks for your time and i hope it helps others

Hello joe,

I really needed to make the modification because the client needed it. I had no other option to change the source code :(

And i agree with you and i had said that the best way was through configuration. I just made a change for a urgent situation like i have now.

The client make a demand for a specific notification layout in HMTL. I really understand you and i now the problems of that. But at this moment all the sites i had made, the clients wanted specific layout for every communication with the site users.

But now i ask you something that i really need. How can i make changes of the source code that are needed because of client specifications?

I like mojo and now i understand very well the source code and i had changed many things and i give you an example. For this project the client wanted that the news (blog module) should be able to have to fotos e in two separate localizations. I didn't find a way to do that without changing the source code in several layers.

I don't want to take your precious time, but with the small time we have for projects i couldn't made a module and i post that just to give you some feed back of my experiences.

thanks in advance.
