This edit will allow users to select email format preference when they sign up or edit their profile. It also defaults to plain text if no choice is found to prevent from sending people html that did not clearly ask for it.
You can also edit the header and footer content of the mails using an external file so the actual system message is untouched.
First create a new user profile field:
admincp -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field -> single Selection Radio Buttons
Title: Email Preference
Description: blank
Items per Line:0
Options: ( one per line )
Plain Text
HTML
Set Default: Yes ( makes plain text default )
Field required: no, but display at registration
Editable by user: Yes
Searchable: yes
Show on member list: yes
[rest of options as is]
Click Save
------------------------------------
Next create a file called email_headers_and_footers.php and paste the following in it:
Save this file in the /includes directory.
Next Edit the class_mail.php file in /includes.
Just above the start() function add this ( about line 138 ):
The $fieldNumber variable needs to match the ID of the profile field you created above.
Next comment out these lines in the start() function:
and in the start() function below
add
and then comment and replace this line:
This will add the profile field in register and user control panel as well as admin cp. The HTML for the header and footer of the mail is totally up to you of course.
This is my first time posting a mod, so I apologize if its not in the right format.
So now anytime the system sends an email, it checks the users preference and sends html or plain text accordingly.
