Better solutions for HTML in Welcome Email?

Hello!

Issue:

I found some advice on how to send the welcome emails in HTML format. But the solutions seems to be prone to be erase everytime I upgrade s2member.

Is there a way to use a hack or hook to make this not be erased? I’d want registration welcome email AND payment emails to be HTML formatted.

Thanks!
Angie

Solution From Previous Post

This is what I found in this post:

http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/html-in-welcome-emails/

File: s2member\includes\classes\email-configs.inc.php line 242

Change this:

c_ws_plugin__s2member_email_configs::email_config () . wp_mail ($user->user_email, $sbj, $msg, "From: \"" . preg_replace ('/"/', "'", $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["reg_email_from_name"]) . "\" <" . $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["reg_email_from_email"] . ">\r\nContent-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8") . c_ws_plugin__s2member_email_configs::email_config_release ();

To This: (notice the change in “Content-Type: text/html”)

c_ws_plugin__s2member_email_configs::email_config () . wp_mail ($user->user_email, $sbj, $msg, "From: \"" . preg_replace ('/"/', "'", $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["reg_email_from_name"]) . "\" <" . $GLOBALS["WS_PLUGIN__"]["s2member"]["o"]["reg_email_from_email"] . ">\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8") . c_ws_plugin__s2member_email_configs::email_config_release ();

Hi Angie,

You can stop this from happening by putting the edited version of the class into a Must Use Plugin. s2Member has a check to see if the class is already created both within the class autoloader, and within each class file itself for this purpose. You can create the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ directory if you do not and create a file called s2hack_email-configs_overwrite.php to house this.

Keep an eye out for changes to the email-configs.inc.php file in future versions however. If this file does change you’ll want to adapt this file to the new setup. :)
