Hi just wondering if there is any means to parse your email content back to wordpress, so i can use my custom template. Every other plugin i have used hooks to the wordpress email system except this one, and it is already setup to receive syntax, add to existing html template, and send via SMTP.
This is a not-for-profit multi-site complex, and your notifications via geodir does not appear to use any of the above requirements.

I have attached what i get from Geodir, and what i normally get from other plugins that use the standards of wordpress mail system.

I would appreciate assistance in parsing to the wordpress email system, as i get tacky looking text only emails sent without smtp.

Thanks,

Andrew

You can modify the GD emails and they can be HTML, see https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-notifications/

I’ll get the others to have a look at your question too, to see if they can add anything else.

Hi Guust,

Thanks for your reply; I have read the documentation thoroughly, and am experienced enough to know the bugs of GeoTheme, however, with Geodirectory, when i use the html template i use for all outgoing emails without issue, and drop the message into it, what i get from geodir is just the text and not the html.

I would prefer to parse directly through wp-email system and not whatever you are using, as this bypasses my SMTP settings as well as the carefully designed template. Useless for a business setup as is, and having to redesign the compatible template for the editor to make it incompatible with some mail clients, hmmm think i might give that a miss.

The GeoTheme setup is similar, yet works as i am describing. GeoDir does not with an identical setup.

I hope the other devs may have a solution.

Hi Andrew,

I seem to be able to send html emails and use SMTP, if you can provide wp-admin and FTP i will investigate what going on?

Thanks,

Hi Stiofan,

I know i can place html into the provided spaces, but it will not accept the template i have made, due to wordpress re-imagining the code in the edit space, this is a complex tabled layout with inline CSS, the code becomes garbled.

Would you happen to have any suggested alternate plugins that would hook your geodir email also?

I use a simple overlay of ‘simple html templates’ that hooks all email, well it does with geotheme, but not geodir…

I have sorted the SMTP out.

Cheers,

Andrew

Are you using GD > Notifications > Options tab > Use advanced editor?
I don’t understand why your HTML should become garbled then, if you post it in the text part of the rich text editor.
If you want us to have a look, post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply and we will have a look for you.

Hi Andrew,

Can you give me a link to the email template and i will test on my side? You can use something like http://pastebin.com/ and make it private and make ur reply private (if you want)

Thanks,

Stiofan
