[resolved]Including PHP in (mail).html

[El Patron]

I am passing a value via the Mail class that I had hoped would allow me to check the value and change the output of the 'account.html' text.

 

I tried using

1. {if something} {else} {/if} structure i.e smarty type php insertion, this based on {shop_url} tags (like smarty .tpl's).

 

The result is that the email gets sent with {if something} {else} {/if} like text. Note I printed the value I want to check and it showed correctly.

 

2. typical php if else wrapped code in the account.html.

The result, no php code showed up, however was not executed as both texts of a 'else' statement printed in the email.

 

I questioned whether my server would parse .html pages. I added AddType .html .php in my httpd.conf and booted apache...With same results.

 

(this also had me researching AddType vs AddHandler, this made me even more tired as it appears most of us have this set up incorrectly. Well at least since 1996. ref. http://www.devside.net/articles/php)

 

Anyone with an example of how to put conditional code in one of the mail templates? Any and all input is would be very much appreciated.

Up to 1.4, this is not possible to have conditionnal code in the emails: they are static html in which {string} are considered as markers to ne replaced by another string

 

In 1.5, it Will be possible as mails will be managed in smarty
