How to add css rules in the invitation email head-tag? was created by user46522_d
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).

Thanks for your reply,
i have a mail template that is testet with the major Mail Clients and need the head for media querys. I will try the Editor in Popup mode, in inline mode it was not possible to add the head tag.

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.
