Sending HTML mail

[dorl1986]

Hello,
Is it possible to set up that the emails will be sent in HTML format?

Hi. Thanks for raising the ticket. I'm glad you find the plugin useful.

The plugin doesn't support html emails right now.

Yes, it would be possible to modify it to allow html emails; it will require some code changes.

How urgent is this for you?

Thanks for the immidiate reply.
As this was urgent for me, I actually managed to add that support by modifying the sendEmail function in the notifyactivation.php file and adding these 2 lines:
$mailer->isHtml(true);
$mailer->Encoding = 'base64';
It will do for now but it'll be reverted on the next plugin update.

Hi.

Yes, that's basically the change that would be required. Also, I would add a config switch to make it optional (and default to switched off, so that it doesn't cause issues for existing users when they upgrade).

If you are happy to add the config switch as well and submit the change as a Pull Request, I can incorporate your changes into the code and it will be there for future updates.

Unfortunately I am not too familiar with Joomla plugin development.
I did some of the work, but don't know how to complete it. If you will send your email address I would be happy to send you what I did with the instructions of what I did not know how to complete.
