Well, this was asked for by many people (me included

) without ever being done so I recruited some of my more knowledgable friends in php to get the syntax right for the following hack.

It is done with 2 file edits but I'm sure that it could be done with a plugin if someone ever feels the need...

Step 1:
In admincp/email.php find:

Code:

 print_textarea_row($vbphrase['message_email'], 'message', '', 10, 50);

Directly below it place:

Code:

 print_yes_no_row('Send HTML Email?', 'sendhtml', 0);

Step 2:
In admincp/email.php find:

Code:

 construct_hidden_code('test', $vbulletin->GPC['test']);

Directly below it place:

Code:

 construct_hidden_code('sendhtml', $_POST['sendhtml']);

Step 3:
In includes/class_mail.php find:

Code:

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;

and replace with:

Code:

if($_POST['sendhtml'])  {
  $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
}else{
  $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
}

(you may modify this hack at will... No permission needs to be granted)

(additional note: Rex, next time you send an email, you may want to put a bit more info in it... took me ages to figure out you meant this hack!)

Any idea on if it can be made into a plugin?

The admincp is a ***** to code for but this is a great hack and alot of people have been asking for it. Thanks for sharing!

Could this be used in 3.6.0 ? Nice idea.

Arnoud · 06-18-2006, 09:57 AM

Most likely, yes. If you can make the file edits, it'll work in 3.6

Is this the mod that's being used on this site to send the nicely laid out HTML emails?

Arnoud · 06-21-2006, 01:36 PM

Indeed it is

.

Have a look at the howto by Rex to see which HTML we used.
