plain text email doesn't show download link for virtual product...

[piku]

Hello!

 

The download link for virtual products is correctly shown in HTML emails. But when using the plain text version it only shows

 

{virtualproducts} 

 

instead.

 

This happens in both cases either using "plain text" or "both" for emails.

 

How can I remedy this?

 

This is on PS 1.6.1

 

Thanks for your help.

Try replacing the variable with {virtualProducts} note the capital P

Thanks for your help,

now using {virtualProducts} in the text email template does give me something like:

 

--------------------------------------------

...here is your download:

 

<u><li><a href="http://a-very-long-link-adresse">The name of the Download</a>

</li></u>

 

Thx for your interest,

blabla....

Obviously that is the code that is generated by "download-product.tpl" 

 

But how can this be repaired to show just a simple link in a plain text email.

 

Any idea?

You cannot show a link in a plain text email, you have to show the link source. Plain text means no html features.

Sry, I wasn't clear on my intent:

 

I get that I cannot have links without the showing the link source, but shouldn't the wrapping html code like "<ul>" "<li>" and "<a href=" be removed by the function creating the plain text mail?

 

thx for helping btw,

cheers, p.

Now I tested with other plain text emails:

It seems to me that the plain text sending of mail doesn't work.

 

For example the mail sending the login data contains:

 

E-MAIL-ADRESSE: {email}

PASSWORT: {passwd}        

 

That's not very useful, :-(

 

It seems the engine producing corrrect plaintext mail by translating the tags into actual values does not work very well.

 

Is there a way to fix it?

 

thx, p.
