Change PINK colour in emails

[starsec]

Hello,

I've searched the forum and tried to do it on my own but, haven't been able to find a way to change the hot pink bars and font that appears in emails when customers join, get login details, orders etc.

Could someone please help ?

Thank You!

Do the full-text search of

background-color:#DB3484

through complete PS sources and replace it with what you want (most of occurrences are in mails directory and some are in modules files).

Yes. We do it locally via Dolphin fulltext search feature.

Thanks for the tip on changing the pink - it's not really my "scene" :-) so was just about to post a question on changing this to match my general theme. A timely solution!

i have it setup that the prices are hidden from users. once they register they receive the account email, after i authorize their account they receive an email saying account is activated. i cant find the dam file anywhere on my backend!

Does anyone know how i can find the html path via the physical emaill? What i mean is, I have the email now, how can i find it's path (to help me find its location on the backend?)

I found the problem. Because I download a module to control the 'user registration/validation' feature, the html mail templates were located within the module's folder. Thanks for everyones help

in PS 1.5.4.1 the color is coded as: background-color: {color} which indicates that it is within the BO options somewhere but I cannot find it anywhere ???. I don't really want to hardcode this change if I don't have to... anyone?

***UPDATE***

FOUND THIS IN ANOTHER THREAD: (HOPE THIS HELPS)

• "Mail Color" in Prestashop v.1.5.x was configured using {color} variable. This variable can be configure via
  Back Office > Preferences > Themes : Mail color
  
• All default e-mail template are placed in ../mails/en/file_name.html and all of default e-mail template files already used this {color} variable
  
• Prestashop has a multi language feature. All of e-mail template files are placed in each directory according to each language iso code e.g : en, fr, it, es, de, ... etc
  
• e-mail template file can be overriden by theme file and the override directory is :
  ../themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/mails/ISO_CODE/
  
• You can check your e-mail template file through your browser
  http://YOUR_DOMAIN/mails/ISO_CODE/file_name.html OR
  http://YOUR_DOMAIN/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME/mails/ISO_CODE/file_name.html
  if you see the Pink color background ...
  then your e-mail template file doesn't use {color} variable, it use color code #DB3484
  

Now ...

Make sure your themes does not override the default e-mail template file.

If it overriden you should check the override file (the e-mail template files in your theme directory) and make sure all of the override files using {color} variable.

Modules may use the e-mail template file which not compatible yet, so you should also check this one out and make sure {color} variable are used.

DON'T FORGET about languages that you used on your Prestashop, the e-mail template files may have differences for each language that you used

 

Example of the use of variables {color} in e-mail template file : account.html

To make the preference in Theme section work, I hade to replace the color code - manually - in the Core translations of all languages to {color}. Otherwise tye horrid pink color didn't change in any other language but English. So, *Core*, not Theme or anything else. I heard that you could copy the whole mails template folder to your theme folder, and thus use the theme email translation, but never tried it.
