Hi

I would like to create a global email template header / footer – is this possible?

I can see that each individual template can be updated, and I can see that each individual template header (logo / banner) can be modified, but I can’t see anywhere to modify the footer details (e.g. Connect with Us / Contact Info box)

Also, I would like to modify the global email message CSS (background colour, font sizes, link colour etc)

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to create a global email template header / footer – is this possible?

Not currently, each template would need to be edited manually.

I can see that each individual template can be updated, and I can see that each individual template header (logo / banner) can be modified, but I can’t see anywhere to modify the footer details (e.g. Connect with Us / Contact Info box)

The header, body and footer can all be edited within the ‘Main Content’ fields for the messages.

Also, I would like to modify the global email message CSS (background colour, font sizes, link colour etc)

There are a couple of filters in place which you can use to specify the directory used to load the templates, take a look within:

event-espresso-core-reg\core\libraries\messages\messenger\EE_Email_messenger.class.php line 158

FHEE__EE_Email_Messenger__get_inline_css_template__css_url
FHEE__EE_Email_Messenger__get_inline_css_template__css_path

However I would advise against editing the css as email clients can be fairly picky as to what css is acceptable.

Thanks for your reply.

I “discovered” that there is a dropdown on the messages section that allows selection of either the admin or attendee email template, that helped ! You may want to add that somewhere in the documentation (I didn’t see it).

It would be great to have a header / footer / master template setting (like in woocommerce admin > settings > emails).

Then I would not have to redesign 6 or so email templates with the same header and footer info!

If you have a feature request list, let me know where I can add to it.

Thanks guys

Thank you for the feedback, I have created a ticket to discuss a master header/footer section, however the current set up is to allow for the greatest flexibility.

The dropdown for each template you mention, we refer to as message contexts:

If you have a feature request list, let me know where I can add to it.
