Hi Paul

Applied the changes and the email gets sent using the template but it all appears as clear text and not translated into HMTL as below:

I have adopted a different approach using cid data - below is an example that appears in my HTML template files within the skin: <img src="cid:EmbeddedLogo" alt="xyz.com" title="xyz.com" /> I made some 'hardcoded' changes to the SendEmail function in kartris.vb but these could easily becoming global settings held within the DB, general.email.logo for example that specifies the local path of the image to the web application. My change is located just after the SMTP authenticated user check and basically adds in an AlternativeView using a LinkedResource which is the image(s) Dim objMail As System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(GetKartConfig("general.email.mailserver"), CInt(GetKartConfig("general.email.smtpportnumber"))) Dim strUserName As String = GetKartConfig("general.email.smtpauthusername") If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(strUserName) Then objMail.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(strUserName, GetKartConfig("general.email.smtpauthpassword")) End If Dim htmlView = AlternateView.CreateAlternateViewFromString(strBody, Encoding.UTF8, MediaTypeNames.Text.Html) Dim mediaType As String = MediaTypeNames.Image.Jpeg Dim imgLogo As New LinkedResource("\\Images\\Templates\\logo.jpg", mediaType) Dim imgThankYou As New LinkedResource("\\Images\\Templates\\thanks.jpg", mediaType) imgLogo.ContentId = "EmbeddedLogo" imgLogo.ContentType.MediaType = mediaType imgLogo.TransferEncoding = TransferEncoding.Base64 imgLogo.ContentType.Name = imgLogo.ContentId imgLogo.ContentLink = New Uri("cid:" + imgLogo.ContentId) imgThankYou.ContentId = "EmbeddedThankYou" imgThankYou.ContentType.MediaType = mediaType imgThankYou.TransferEncoding = TransferEncoding.Base64 imgThankYou.ContentType.Name = imgThankYou.ContentId imgThankYou.ContentLink = New Uri("cid:" + imgThankYou.ContentId) htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(imgLogo) htmlView.LinkedResources.Add(imgThankYou) objMailMessage.AlternateViews.Add(htmlView) objMailMessage.IsBodyHtml = True objMail.Send(objMailMessage) Now if the cid refernce exists in the template then the image is inserted and successfully displayed within the body of the message in the recipient mailbox. Maybe you would like to integrate this into the next release? Would be great to see it configured from the Admin pages - it will also make it easy for me to upgrade to the newer versions as they are released. Thanks

Here is my working code: 'Send new account email to new customer If KartSettingsManager.GetKartConfig("frontend.users.emailnewaccountdetails") = "y" Then 'Build up email text Dim strSubject As String = GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "Config_SubjectLine5") Dim sbEmailText As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder sbEmailText.Append(GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_CustomerSignedUpHeader") & vbCrLf & vbCrLf) sbEmailText.Append(GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_EmailAddress") & strEmail & vbCrLf) sbEmailText.Append(GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_CustomerCode") & strPassword & vbCrLf & vbCrLf) sbEmailText.Append(GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_CustomerSignedUpFooter1") & CkartrisBLL.WebShopURL & "customer.aspx" & GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_CustomerSignedUpFooter2")) sbEmailText.Replace("<br>", vbCrLf).Replace("<br />", vbCrLf) Dim blnHTMLEmail As Boolean = KartSettingsManager.GetKartConfig("general.email.enableHTML") = "y" If blnHTMLEmail Then Dim strHTMLEmailText As String = RetrieveHTMLEmailTemplate("NewCustomerSignUp") 'build up the HTML email if template is found If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(strHTMLEmailText) Then strHTMLEmailText = strHTMLEmailText.Replace("[webshopurl]", WebShopURL) strHTMLEmailText = strHTMLEmailText.Replace("[websitename]", GetGlobalResourceObject("Kartris", "Config_Webshopname")) strHTMLEmailText = strHTMLEmailText.Replace("[customeremail]", GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_EmailAddress")) strHTMLEmailText = strHTMLEmailText.Replace("[customerpassword]", GetGlobalResourceObject("Email", "EmailText_CustomerCode")) sbEmailText.Clear() sbEmailText.Append(strHTMLEmailText) Else blnHTMLEmail = False End If End If SendEmail(LanguagesBLL.GetEmailFrom(CInt(Session("LANG"))), strEmail , strSubject, sbEmailText.ToString, , , , , blnHTMLEmail) End If

I am checking the code now, I think the HTMLemail boolean is optional, but it assumes text if not there, which could explain the problem. I'll check the file now. -- If my post solves your issue, can you 'Mark as Answer' so it's easier for other users to find in future.

Supreme Being Group: Forum Members Last Active: Sat 18 May 2013 Posts: 0, Visits: 57 19,236	Sorry to keep spamming you I have noticed that the sendmail function is not in the same format as the other implementations, the password reset version for example - the boolean blnHTMLEmail is not being used although it is set correctly when the template is retrieved. Could this be a problem or should I try to precompile the site? Not sure if I need to do this if the code changes, can you confirm?? From NewCustomerSignUp SendEmail(LanguagesBLL.GetEmailFrom(CInt(Session("LANG"))), strEmail, strSubject, sbEmailText.ToString) From PasswordReset SendEmail(LanguagesBLL.GetEmailFrom(intCurrentLanguage), strEmailAddress, strSubjectLine, strBodyText, , , , , blnHTMLEmail) Tags email, images

After making the changes, is there any requirement to run the precomile.bat file or are the changes just intepreted on runtime?
