Hi guys,

i just updated the easydiscuss component from 3 to 4, Joomla is 3.6.

I actually was not really happy that the mail templates had the stackideas logo in them, but i managed to fix this.

But, the mail do have some problems still, the <br> stay visible, see screenshot: Title

How to fix this?

Also my client doesn't like the new layout of the template (for site and also mail). Can I get the old template layout back?
Hey Sander,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

Can you try download my attached file and replace into following file location and see how it goes?
JoomlaFolder\administrator\components\com_easydiscuss\includes\mailer\mailer.php

Also my client doesn't like the new layout of the template (for site and also mail). Can I get the old template layout back?

Is it possible provide us which page of the layout your client which don't like it so we can see if we can do something about it?

Hi Arlex,

thanks for your answer. I uploaded the file, so let's see if it makes any difference. Can I test only 1 mail, without sending it to all members?

The theme my client used (for mail and website) is as uploaded in the attatchment. It's quit confusing for them now.

Is it possible to use this theme (both mail and website) in version 4?

Regards,

Sander

You can disable all of the notification from backend > Easydiscuss > setting > notification, you can also refer on my attached screenshot below.

Regarding the email template, can yo take a look of my second screenshot below, is it what you want like this?

Regarding with your theme, can you try switch your current Easydiscuss theme to use Simplistic and see is it okay for you? You can change it from backend > Easydiscuss > theme .

Hey Sander,

We just released a new version 4.0.7 today and included `Simplistic` theme, can you try update to latest version and see how it goes?

By the way, the email template already fixed in latest version.

If the issue still persists, it would be best update your Joomla backend and FTP access into http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so we can help you troubleshoot on this.

Hi Arlex,

i have updated the component.

The simplistic theme is not the same theme as it used to be, there is no large orange "ask a question button".

I would like to get the same template as it was in version 3.x. How do we manage?

Also, the email message looks completely different than in version 3.x, with the yellow read more botton.

And why is the easydiscuss logo in top of the mail after the update? This is not professional!

Hey there,

The simplistic theme is not the same theme as it used to be, there is no large orange "ask a question button".

Yes, by default Easydiscuss 4 already change the large ask question button to use icon, but I have a suggestion for that, you can display `Ask module` on your page, if you can provide us with your site access I can assist you on this.

I would like to get the same template as it was in version 3.x. How do we manage?

Unfortunately that was not possible to get back the previous styling.


Also, the email message looks completely different than in version 3.x, with the yellow read more botton.

Do you mean you would like to show `yellow` color on read more button from the email?

And why is the easydiscuss logo in top of the mail after the update? This is not professional!

Regarding this, we do have a documentation for how to override this email logo to use your website logo. Perhaps you can take a look of this docs and see is it able to make it? If you need assistance on this, you can provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access and which logo you would like to use, we can help you change on this.

Dear Arlex,

most issues of this ticket are solved.

But the client still is not happy with the lay-out of the email notification.

They want it as it was (like you use, in the screenshot).

How can we manage this?

Hey there,

Can you check my attached screenshot below and see which part you would like to change? (the bottom email layout is current latest version email layout)
