HTML for default email template not working

c930586 · January 17, 2015

Hi,

I wanted to translate the email templates of my store. After editing the first HTML version, the system stopped showing the HTML code properly. Please see images attached. If I open the code with the browser it works properly. However, in both Prestashop and when I send a test email, the HTML version just shows a blue background.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for your help.

it's probably a case of magic quotes.

please go to adv. parameters > configuration information section

do you see there information about magic quotes, that it is turned on?

c930586 · January 18, 2015

Hi Vekia,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it says:

magicquotes
pdo_mysql

What should I do? I am running 1.6.0.11 on a HostGator's shared server. (PHP 5.2.17; Apache; MySQL 5.5.40-36.1)

Thanks.

Robert

Update:

I have solved both magic quotes and pdo_mysql with this:

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/187699-solved-how-to-disable-php-magic-quotes/?p=928701

Nevertheless, although I see most of the HTML shown nicely, the logo is not sent in the emails yet. Any ideas with the logo portion of the html?

Thanks.

change

%7Bshop_url%7D

to

{shop_url}

and

%7Bshop_logo%7D

to

{shop_logo}

c930586 · January 19, 2015

OK, thanks for the reply.

Does this have to be reported as a bug? I have not added the %7B and %7D, the system did automatically.

There are 100 different email templates, and I have the issue with all of them I guess. Is there a way to change them all fast?

Thanks.

Hello all, I have the same problem and it drives me crazy. The brackets ("{" or "}") are replaced by "%7B" or "%7D" only in "url" and "src" parts. Do you have some tips for solution?

Hi, I have the same issue.

Also, has anyone else noticed that the HTML "title" tag fields are all blank?

(Interestingly if I select to edit "Core (no theme selected)" those templates and the title tag fields are correct.)

n_s_simpson · February 5, 2015

Definitely a fault. I edited the HTML files directly in themes\default-bootstrap\mails\gb\ and they are fine. As soon as I go back into the mail translations in the BO and press "Save" I yet again have "%7Bshop_url%7D" and "%7Bshop_logo%7D".

Checked my pre-upgrade 1.6.0.9 backup and that's fine so definitely a fault since 1.6.0.11.

Someone's already raised a bug report here: http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCSX-4594?jql=

Could you post a print-screen?

marceloaurino · September 13, 2015

Lukx,

disable magic_quotes, the blue background will be removed.

arapogiannis · December 15, 2015

I have the same problem here. I disabled magic_quotes with the php.ini file in the install folder but nothing changed. Suggestions please?
