Error: E-Mail Message required!

Thank you! It helps me to send e-mails! But after testing, I received an e-mail where the message begins with "n n n n n" and ended with "nn". How can I solve this?

The linefeeds/carriage-returns need to be escaped properly.

Sorry, I don't get you. Can you explain it a little more? Thank you.

Which version? That may affect approaches to take. Apparently you have 1.5.5.1 or subsequent, but we cannot tell from what you've said [just double-checked -- your first entry in thread starts this page of thread]. You have the apparent novelty of the "n" itself showing several times.

Try first replacing the ckeditor tree with the 2013 July 4.1.x (not 4.2.x) version straight from ckeditor.com/download/. That is your /admin/view/javascript/ckeditor/ tree.

If the problem remains, then the simplicity of changing only the 18 [in some file versions, 20] instances of "\r\n" to "\n" in the 1.5.5.1 filemanager.tpl may suffice. Make a backup of the file beforehand.

Please let us know where you wind up with that. There are two further approaches, but I would start with those.

Thank you for your help. I followed the two options you said, but unfortunately the problem still remains. What can I do more?

Whatever you try make backups first.

While on this email subject, how do I get the mail option to send html emails?

If you use the normal box (if you don't disable "wysiwyg" outright), it'll prepare html format. Whether recipients allow that to come in or to show is beyond your control. I'm scarcely alone in prohibiting html mail -- or in routinely looking at full headers to see where the system was even entered. In some mailboxes I block html outright; text mail arrives, html mail goes poof.

where do I disable "wysiwyg"

In the .js controlling it. You can also set Source mode as its default -- text only if no code with it.

Mail.php don't seem to have any .js controlling it.. why does it give the option SOURCE html but doesn't send it

That part of it is driven by ckeditor, and if you look in the ckeditor/ tree you will see oodles of .js just for that. Note /admin/view/javascript/ckeditor/config.js in particular.

Well, since all this, I tried simple html emails and they work? I think .CSS scripting was the problem and javascripts, have to stick to simple html and links that seem to work on 1.5.4

You may have toggled Source mode and not known it -- or your own mail client was set at the right time to see text or simple html, or both.

Status note.-- Going to test whether 1.5.5.1 CE RC1 files *for* mailing are compatible inside 1.5.5.1 and 1.5.6.0, if they are then there we go, end of problem. (Since you're there, rph, congratulations, and thanks from all!)

The vqmod fix doesn't work in version 1.5.2.1...

byocode wrote:You can try this:
1. Open file "contact.tpl" in the "admin\view\template\sale" folder
2. Go to line 244, you'll see the line:

Code: Select all

$('textarea[name=\'message\']').html($('textarea[name=\'message\']').val());

and replace with:

Code: Select all

$('textarea[name=\'message\']').html(CKEDITOR.instances.message.getData());

3. Save the file and test.

That worked beautifully on version 1.5.5.1.
Thanks so much for this fix.

This still seems to be a problem in 1.5.6 but fix from byocode works perfectly.

thanks byocode you got the solution..
there is also a VQMOD extenesion to solve the issue with the same changes
