HTML Mail Templates
 

:wink: Dear all,

Last week I purchased X-Cart Gold.
To me honoust with you guys, I am really a 8O in HTML writing and I am very afraid I will destroy more in X-Cart then I can make better.

So what I wanted to ask you:

Is there someone who can provide me with some templates/examples and maybe a short Explanation (I have MM Dreanweaver MX) how to implement this in my shop.
The mails I am talking about are all the E-mails that are sent to customers and to the administrator, I want to use HTML because most of my customers use this in their E-mail software, and I find this very professional instead of text mails.

I can also use some help with the design and layout of my product/products pages.

So, if there's somebody out there who wants to help a 'blond' girl, then please give me a reply...... :wink:

It's actually pretty easy you just stick all of the template pieces inside of your html, one thing you need to be aware of is if you turn on HTML email the EVERY file in that mail directory needs to have at least a
tag to do the line feeds or your emails will look really weird. If you want some emamples just email me and I would be more then happy to send you some examples ot both full html mail and the files with the br tags in it.

There you go, you should be well on your way now ....

I can tell you though that when V3.5.0 comes out in the next few weeks (ish) then one of the new features will be that all email will have a plain text and html versions.

I am not sure where this has been covered shan but what are the new features added to 3.5.0????

Its not covered on the forums but as moderators we sometimes get a sneak peak at the new versions
