Modification Of Feedback Email

homiebrah · August 15th, 2003, 12:29 AM

How can I modify the text of the email that is sent when a member submits comments using the Feedback module? For some reason, it has a problem rendering Brian's Corner into the correct text. It ends up looking like this: Brian's Corner

Also, this question can also be asked of the emails that are sent during the account activiation process.

Many thanks in advance.

I, for one, have no clue what you are talking about.

Good, complete questions with abundant details usually get responses.

I thought I was clear. I want to change the contents of the email that is sent to a new registered user. Reason being are some formatting issues with the text, and some of the text seems downright brainless.

You can try this:

($var being the variable containing the un-modified email message)

Code:

$var = str_replace("'", "'", $var);

and then you can put your mail() function in using the $var as the message part. This will replace all instances of ' and replace it with ' and you can use it as many times as you want.
Ie: If you want to filter out the word damn and change it to gosh darn you would run

Code:

$var = str_replace("damn", "gosh darn", $var);

Thanks for the recommendation. I will give it a whirl in the AM. Now, which file contains the actual text of the email that is sent to registered users? I thought I had seen somewhere, maybe here, that had a filename listed. Can't remember the name.

Only doing it to learn and to customize the messages that get sent from my site. Not too keen on using the "established" norm. I like to add my own personal flavor to the situation.
