FAQ

Will Email Beautifier work with XXX Extension

Email Beautifier can only catch those emails that use Joomla's Native Email Class for sending emails. This is the case with most Joomla Extensions so most of your emails will be beautified.
Some extensions like Community Builder are known to use their own Library. So emails generated by such extensions cannot be beautified. 

*Note: Email beautifier component just wraps the saved Email Beautifier template to the outgoing emails only. A component doesn't modify the outgoing mail content.

I Use Joomailer MailChimp integration. Are my emails not getting Beautified?

Joomailer uses a Plugin for giving the ability to use Amazon's STS Email service for transactional emails. If you are using this plugin & want to use the transactional mail service, a little coding is needed to be done in the STS plugin so that EB works. If you face this issue, let us know & we shall help you fix this. We shall be working with the Joomailer team so that this is resolved permanently soon.

How does Email Beautifier work?

Email beautifier applies the template based on URL parameter like option, view, layout, task.

Depending on your different URL parameters, you can create different Email Beautifier templates. While sending email, Email Beautifier compares current URL parameters and saved template's conditions, and the matched template will be used while sending the mail.

How to beautify the Jomsocial Emails?

Email beautifier applies the best template based on URL parameter like option, view, layout, task.

Only these parameter will be considered while applying the template.
So you have to use CronJob functionality for JOMSOCIAL instead of using the system plugin.

To disable sending email from the system plugin
- GOTO-> Jomsocial-> configuration -> "site section" : Under this search for - "Cronjobs / Scheduled Task Process" subsection and Set "Send email on page load" to NO.

And use Cron Jobs to send emails.

For Kunena Component: When a notification is sent to more than one user from the same posting, the multiple templates is wrapped double around the eMail?

1. *Note: Email beautifier component just wraps the saved Email Beautifier template to the outgoing emails only. The component doesn't modify the outgoing mail content.

   Set
   'Email to Multiple Recipients' to '5' or more
   &
   'Email Recipient Privacy' to 'BCC'

Where can I find all available replacement "tags" like [SITELINK], [SITENAME] etc.?

For this, Go to Email Beautifier component-> Manage Templates-> new or edit template view,

In the right hand,  you can see all available replacement tags.

I want to use Email Beautifier just for one component. When I only make one template and assign that one to the particular component, will the other mail templates for all the other components remain untouched?

Yes, Email Beautifier can work that way. Create a new template but do not set it as default and set it only for one component.

Does Email Beautifier allows language constants to be changed in Email Beautifier template?

1. The advanced conditions are for what template to be used for what URL conditions.

E.g. In the email template-

- By default, advance condition checkbox is unchecked and condition field provides a multi-select list of components available on your site

- Check advance option, if you want to enter a customized URLs. Enter each URL condition on a new line.

1. option=com_XXX&view=VIEW_NAME&layout=LAYOUT_NAME&task=TASK_NAME&action=ACTION_NAME
2. The advanced conditions are not for adding different language constants.
3. Email Beautifier does not alter email content - it just wraps the [CONTENT] with a template that you create.
4. Email Beautifier does not have control over [CONTENT] that other extensions generate.

com_users conditions for different emails?

Template for - Forgot username mail

URL Conditions => index.php?option=com_users&task=remind.remind

 

Template for - Forgot password mail

URL Conditions => index.php?option=com_users&task=reset.request

 

Template for - New Account Details mail

URL Conditions => index.php?option=com_users&view=registration

index.php?option=com_users&view=featured

 

Template for - Registration approval required mail - admin &

Template for - Account activated mail - users

URL Conditions => index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.activate

NOTE: 

1. Since the URL conditions for registration verification and admin approval are same - you can't use 2 different templates.
2. If the template for 'Template for - New Account Details mail' is not working check what URL is being used for that email in the EB log file-

EB log file is located at your_site/components/com_emailbeautifier/eb.log.php

You need to see log for related email to check what URL to use.
