Hello Michael Finger,

Sorry for late reply to this,
You can actually edit the email templates from the back end of EasyBlog. Check my instruction screenshot below.
You are actually free to place in any links / any html codes in the html template example :

<tr>

    <td style="padding-top:20px;padding-left:20px;">

        <img src="http://goodjob.com/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/images/emails/logo.png" />

    </td>

</tr>

Above the code added the EasySocial logo and the image location you can to put your own image location file. If this instruction still not working for you, can you list down which logo image and which email template you would like to modify? please advise.

Hi Arlex,

I have done the above and I hope to test it out. But I have a lot more questions. After you got the Mail Chimp integration working I lost visibility to it from the Joomla back end. I want to be able to disable this function anytime and change the list ID at anytime. How can this be done?

In terms of editing the subject and body of the email, how do I do this? I want to remove part of the subject ("New blog post - "), the header "(New Blog Post"), intro sentence ("Hello, This is a notification to inform you that there is a new blog posted on the site."), author name and associated details (title of blog and "Posted by Michael on Tuesday, September 2, 2014").

Hello Michael Finger,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Actually you can temporary to disable this Mailchimp integration first ( http://screencast.com/t/YyXBJoKX ), after you done the customization of your subject and body of your email then only enable back the Mailchimp integration.

As you mentioned above the language string is come from this email file-> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\default\email.blog.new.html.php
And the language is come from JoomlaFolder\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_easyblog.ini

COM_EASYBLOG_NOTIFICATION_NEW_BLOG_POST="New Blog Post"

COM_EASYBLOG_NOTIFICATION_NEW_BLOG_POSTED="This is a notification to inform you that there is a new blog posted on the site."

COM_EASYBLOG_NOTIFICATION_HELLO="Hello"

COM_EASYBLOG_NOTIFICATION_POSTED_BY="Posted by"

COM_EASYBLOG_NOTIFICATION_ON="on"

You can do the global search for this language string e.g COM_EASYBLOG_NOTIFICATION_NEW_BLOG_POST then change what word you would like to put it. Hope this help.

Thanks! I have made those changes in the body of the email. But, I have tried to find the way to change the subject line of the email unsuccessfully. How can I do this?

Thanks again,

Michael.

Hello Michael Finger,

Sorry for late reply to this,
May i know which email subject line content can't able to change properly in your site?
Perhaps you list down to us which original subject line content you would like to change to your customize subject line content and provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you solve this as soon as possible.

I`m talking about the email (generated via Mail Chimp) when a blog post is made. I want to edit the subject line to remove the words "New blog post - ". I could not find this in email.blog.new.html.php.

Hello Michael Finger,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Check my screenshot below. Do you mean you would like to edit this words?

If yes, that language string is :

COM_EASYBLOG_EMAIL_TITLE_NEW_BLOG_ADDED_WITH_TITLE="New blog post - %1s"

Hope this help.

I could assume yes. Is this language string here - "email.blog.new.html.php"? If not please guide me to where it is.

Hello Michael,

That particular file you pointed above refers to the content of the email and not the subject but what Arlex pointed out above in the language file refers to the subject of the email.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for confirming this. Would you please guide me to where I would find this language string? I looked at Arlex`s Joomla 3.0 screen shot and skimmed through all the options of my 2.5`s backend but cant find something that resembles it.

Hello Michael Finger,

Sorry for late reply to this,
That language string I provided is located at this file -> JoomlaFolder\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_easyblog.ini

Hello Arlex,

I`m not sure where to find this file. I`m sorry I don't have much experience with this kind of stuff. I was hoping you could guide me, in steps. For example; Settings > Notifications > Email Templates.

Perhaps you could make the change yourself? http://www.xxx.com.au/administrator Username: xxx Password: xxx
I want to remove "New blog post - " in the subject line so that only the title of the post is there.

Thanks in advance,

Michael.

Hello Michael Finger,

Sorry for late reply to this,
It should work fine now. What i did is open this file JoomlaFolder\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_easyblog.ini and search this keyword

COM_EASYBLOG_EMAIL_TITLE_NEW_BLOG_ADDED_WITH_TITLE

then remove that words to be

COM_EASYBLOG_EMAIL_TITLE_NEW_BLOG_ADDED_WITH_TITLE="%1s"

Please have a check.

Thanks Arlex, All sorted now. Its displaying just how I want it.

hello Michael Finger,

You're welcome Remember do the backup on this language file and with your other customization file before update.
