How to send html mail in vbulletin 4 admin CP

[Anay]

Hi

There is no option to send mass mail or newsletter to vbulletin users in html format but my company want it to send it html format.
I have vbulletin 4.0.9 and there is option to enable this.

I search vbulletin.org and there is no way to do it for vbulletin 4 but they have mods for vbulletin 3 series. Anyone knows how can that be done in vb4 . I don't want plain text email but want html email.

Thnx friends. ..

You need to make some changes in vbulletin files and then you can send mail in html also.

Please follow these steps I found useful :

Step 1:
In admincp/email.php

find:
 

Code: [Select]

print_textarea_row($vbphrase['message_email'], 'message', '', 10, 50);
Add after it :

Code: [Select]

print_yes_no_row('Send HTML Email?', 'sendhtml', 0);

Step 2:
In admincp/email.php
 find:

Code: [Select]

construct_hidden_code('test', $vbulletin->GPC['test']);
After it Add:

Code: [Select]

construct_hidden_code('sendhtml', $_POST['sendhtml']);
Step 3:
In includes/class_mail.php
Find:

Code: [Select]

$headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
Replace it with :

Code: [Select]

if($_POST['sendhtml'])  {
  $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/html' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
}else{
  $headers .= 'Content-Type: text/plain' . iif($encoding, "; charset=\"$encoding\"") . $delimiter;
}


I hope that helps.
