I am struggling with generating and styling custom emails.
I want to have a header and footer that will be common to ALL the default emails as well as updating the css to reflect our design.

I have followed https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/blob/master/docs/E–Messages-System/registering-message-template-variations.md and the other supporting documents.

I have created a class and plugin as per instructions. I have created a plugin folder “eea-new-templates” uploaded “ee-new-messages-template-pack-sogt.php” to that folder. Added a folder “variations”. See below:

define( 'EE_NEW_TP_TEST_VERSION', '1.0' );
define( 'EE_NEW_TP_TEST_FILE', __FILE__ );
define( 'EE_NEW_TP_PATH', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . '/' );
define( 'EE_NEW_TP_URL', plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ) . '/' );
function ee_new_messages_template_pack_sogt_load_textdomain() {
	load_plugin_textdomain( 'ee-new-messages-template-pack-sogt', FALSE, dirname( plugin_basename( __FILE__ ) ) . '/lang/' );
}
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'ee_new_messages_template_pack_sogt_load_textdomain');
function ee_new_template_pack_sogt_register_new_variation() {
	if ( ! class_exists( 'EE_Messages_Template_Pack_New_Template_Pack_Sogt' ) ) {
		return;
	}
	$setup = array(
		'path' => rtrim(EE_NEW_TP_PATH, '/'),
		'classname' => 'EE_Messages_Template_Pack_New_Template_Pack_Sogt',
		);
	EE_Register_Messages_Template_Pack::register( 'ee_new_template_pack_sogt', $setup );
}
add_action( 'EE_Brewing_Regular___messages_caf',  'ee_new_template_pack_sogt_register_new_variation' );

have created a class “EE_Messages_Template_Pack_New_Template_Pack_Sogt”

public function _set_props() {
		$this->label = __('SOGT Pack', 'event_espresso');
		$this->dbref = 'new_template_pack_sogt';
		$this->description = __('This is a new template pack for SOGTalks.', 'event_espresso');
		$this->_base_url = EE_NEW_TP_URL . 'eea-new-templates/';
		$this->_base_path = EE_NEW_TP_PATH . 'eea-new-templates/';

added arrays for all default templates.

1) where do I put the class file?
2) where do i get/put the css files(s)
3) do i need to copy/create custom templates for every single message type (emails only)

Thank you, love the plugin!
