Please advise where we can alter the look and text of the the invitation email recieved by users' friends when they use the invite friends feature.
We in particular would like to change the logo and also alter its position so to span across the width of the email. Also we would like to change the default text.

ps
Love your work guys
Hey Tomlee,

Regarding the email logo, you can take a look of this documentation here : http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/templating/customizing-email-logo

If you would like to change the position of the invite friends email content, the file is located in
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\themes\wireframe\emails\html\friends\invite.php

The following language string from the invite friend email content, you can override in Joomla language manager.

COM_EASYSOCIAL_EMAILS_HELLO="Hello"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_EMAILS_FRIENDS_INVITE_HEADING="Invitation to join %1$s"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_EMAILS_FRIENDS_INVITE_CONTENT="%1$s invited you to join the site to get connected. The user has also sent you a message along with this request below:"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_EMAILS_GET_CONNECTED_WITH_USER="Get connected with %1$s today!"
COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_INVITE_MESSAGE_CONTENT="I would like to invite you to the %1$s social networking web site that I believe you will enjoy."


Hope this help.

Hello Christoph,

Are you referring to this text, https://take.ms/g0eRi ? You can find this in the language file with the following constant,

COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_INVITE_MESSAGE_CONTENT="I would like to invite you to the %1$s social networking web site that I believe you will enjoy."

By the way, you should use the language overrides to modify your languages, https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/languages/creating-language-overrides

Hello Mark ...

I saw that in the communication above. I thought of changing it, but then I was hoping to be able to do it an editor, instead of touching the language files, since i am not a programmer and, with my luck would break things.

I was hoping to be able to format it, with paragraph breaks and make it look nice. Would this be a service you would consider? if so, how much would it cost?

Best, Christoph

Hello Christoph,

There is really not much coding that you need to do. All you need to do is to paste the paragraph of text that you want in a WYSIWYG editor and click on the toggle source. Then copy the contents and use it in a language constant:

This is the code that you can use. If you are not comfortable modifying the file, you may use the override method as described at https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/languages/creating-language-overrides


COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_INVITE_MESSAGE_CONTENT="<p>Hello …<br /> <br /> I would like to invite you to Groopa ...
