How to add css rules in the invitation email head-tag? was created by ramon01

Hi,
where can i add some css rules into the HTML mail head-tag. The Editor only add the part for the body-tag.
The invitation mail i get into my inbox has a source code like this:

Code:

<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
.
.
-
</body>
</html>

Where can i change this part:

Code:

<head>
    <title></title>
  </head>

Greetings
Ramon

As far as I know, you cannot modify that without hacking the core code.

Regardless, not all email clients respect styles in the <head> element - it's safer to use inline styles.

Hi,

I already used sometimes css in head. I use "HTML editor in popup" and this for example:

Code:

<html><head><style>a{color:red}</style></head><body style="color:green">
You text
</body></html>

But like Tony say, it's not garanted, it work on Thunderbird and Outlook (some version).

Hi,

With some PHP competences, i think you can do a plugin using www.limesurvey.org/manual/BeforeTokenEmail for this. A good idea for a plugin.

Hey,
@Denis, yes a Plugin is the best Option, i would try to make a Plugin for that. Are there some other resources to get start faster with the plugin Develoment? Some small Demo-Plugins or Tutorials? Your sendMailAjax is a little to complex to start i think.

@all, I've try to manage the problem in the Editor in Popup Mode and the system interprets the

Code:

{ }

CSS-Brackets as Placeholders

. Is there a workaround to mask the CSS-Brackets? Because the 'Popup Editor Solution' woud be enough for the first Step.

Thanks
Ramon

Insert a space or line-break after the opening brace and before the closing brace.

I don't think there are already a public plugin using this event.

But something like:

Code:

$message=$this->event()->get("body");
$body="<html>......<body>".$message."</body></html>";
$this->event()->set("body",$body);

Can do the trick.
