Running 6.5 Pluse with SQL Server. This is a new site, two others work correctly. On this site, customer and merchant email templates are not working. emails are going out ok using the basic formatting from shopmail.asp. I have tried this with templates = yes and no, html and txt, restarted the site iis, etc. Nothing will let the customer and merchant templates work. Code is a fresh upload from the zip file plus 6.50 security patches.

I know the thanks and thanks2 files kick these off but could use some help in debugging this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

make sure that the field xcustomeremail is set to tmp_customeremail.htm and xmerchantemail is set to tmp_merchantemail.htm
By default they are *.txt not *.htm

Thanks Carrol, just to be sure, I checked and re-entered both and then updated the shop config. Same results, no templates... aaargh!

If you have checked that all the relevant configuration fields are set up as follows:

xemailcustomer = Yes
xemailmerchant = Yes
xemailformat = html
xemailwithtemplates = Yes
xmerchantemail = tmp_merchantemail.htm
xcustomeremail = tmp_customeremail.htm

then perhaps this could be a problem with your ISP. Are you using the same ISP for the other 2 sites you mentioned?

Yes, those are all set. Since the site is sending customer and merchant emails out using the basic non-template mode IE: shopmail.asp and shopmailformat.asp, it does appear to be an issue in the vpasp code not selecting the template mode. The other site that is currently working correctly is on a different server with the same ISP (Crystaltech.com).

Thanks.

If you definitely have the Plus Option package then I don't know what could be stopping the mail templates from being formatted. I take it that the ISP uses the same mail service and component (CDONTS, JMAIL etc) . Sorry I can't be of any more help, perhaps someone else might offer some ideas.

Thanks, I do appreciate your replies. At least I don't feel alone in this :-). I just decided to rework the shopmailformat.asp file for now to get this site working and worry about the templates over time.

have a great day,

Les
