send new_order.txt not new_order.html

[PEJ33]

I would like to get my email notification that someone has placed an order as a plain text email not an HTML email.

 

I can see that in Mail Alerts there is an HTML version of new_order and a .txt version as well.

 

How do I get prestashop to send me the .txt version?

Sending emails using html, txt or both is a global configuration setting, so if you change the setting, it would effect all emails sent.

 

If you only want to effect one template, then you would need to alter the Mail.php class.  Below is the existing code from PS v1.5.4.1, it may be different in other PS versions.  You would need to revise this code to check which template is being used, and prevent the html Part

  if ($configuration['PS_MAIL_TYPE'] == Mail::TYPE_BOTH || $configuration['PS_MAIL_TYPE'] == Mail::TYPE_TEXT)
      $message->addPart($template_txt, 'text/plain');
  if ($configuration['PS_MAIL_TYPE'] == Mail::TYPE_BOTH || $configuration['PS_MAIL_TYPE'] == Mail::TYPE_HTML)
      $message->addPart($template_html, 'text/html');

Bellini,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

I have the global setting set to BOTH but I only get an html email. Should I be getting both an html and a txt email?

 

Can I make it send me both html and txt?

Both html and txt parts are being sent, it is your email client that is deciding which one to show you
