-- SUMMARY --
|
||||
|
||||
This is a Mime Mail component module (for use by other modules).
|
||||
* It permits users to recieve HTML email and can be used by other modules. The mail
|
||||
functionality accepts an HTML message body, mime-endcodes it and sends it.
|
||||
* If the HTML has embedded graphics, these graphics are MIME-encoded and included
|
||||
as a message attachment.
|
||||
* Adopts your site's style by automatically including your theme's stylesheet files in a
|
||||
themeable HTML message format
|
||||
* If the recipient's preference is available and they prefer plaintext, the HTML will be
|
||||
converted to plain text and sent as-is. Otherwise, the email will be sent in themeable
|
||||
HTML with a plaintext alternative.
|
||||

-- REQUIREMENTS --
|
||||
|
||||
Mail System module - http://drupal.org/project/mailsystem
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
-- INSTALLATION --
|
||||
|
||||
Hopefully, you know the drill by now :)
|
||||
1. Download the module and extract the files.
|
||||
2. Upload the entire mimemail folder into your Drupal sites/all/modules/
|
||||
or sites/my.site.folder/modules/ directory if you are running a multi-site
|
||||
installation of Drupal and you want this module to be specific to a
|
||||
particular site in your installation.
|
||||
3. Enable the Mime Mail module by navigating to:
|
||||
Administration > Modules
|
||||
4. Adjust settings by navigating to:
|
||||
Administration > Configuration > Mime Mail
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
-- USAGE --
|
||||
|
||||
This module may be required by other modules, but in favor of the recently
|
||||
added system actions and Rules integration, it can be useful by itself too.
|
||||
|
||||
Once installed, any module can send MIME-encoded messages by specifing
|
||||
MimeMailSystem as the responsible mail system for a particular message
|
||||
or all mail sent by one module.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be done through the web by visiting admin/config/system/mailsystem
|
||||
or in a program as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
mailsystem_set(array(
|
||||
'{$module}_{$key}' => 'MimeMailSystem', // Just messages with $key sent by $module.
|
||||
'{$module}' => 'MimeMailSystem', // All messages sent by $module.
|
||||
));
|
||||
|
||||
You can use the following optional parameters to build the e-mail:
|
||||
'plain':
|
||||
Boolean, whether to send messages in plaintext-only (optional, default is FALSE).
|
||||
'plaintext':
|
||||
Plaintext portion of a multipart e-mail (optional).
|
||||
'attachments':
|
||||
Array of arrays with the path or content, name and MIME type of the file (optional).
|
||||
'headers':
|
||||
A keyed array with headers (optional).
|
||||
|
||||
You can set these in $params either before calling drupal_mail() or in hook_mail()
|
||||
and of course hook_mail_alter().
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, Mime Mail uses email addresses in the form of "name" <address@host.com>,
|
||||
but PHP running on Windows servers requires extra SMTP handling to use this format.
|
||||
If you are running your site on a Windows server and don't have an SMTP solution such
|
||||
as the SMTP module installed, you may need to set the 'Use the simple format of
|
||||
user@example.com for all email addresses' option on the configuration settings page.
|
||||
|
||||
This module creates a user preference for receiving plaintext-only messages.
|
||||
This preference will be honored by all messages if the format is not explicitly set
|
||||
and the user has access to edit this preference (allowed by default).
|
||||
|
||||
Email messages are formatted using the mimemail-message.tpl.php template.
|
||||
This includes a CSS style sheet and uses an HTML version of the text.
|
||||
The included CSS is either:
|
||||
the mail.css file found anywhere in your theme folder or
|
||||
the combined CSS style sheets of your theme if enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a custom mail template copy the mimemail-message.tpl.php file from
|
||||
the mimemail/theme directory into your default theme's folder. Both general and
|
||||
by-mailkey theming can be performed:
|
||||
mimemail-message--[module]--[key].tpl.php (for messages with a specific module and key)
|
||||
mimemail-message--[module].tpl.php (for messages with a specific module)
|
||||
mimemail-message--[key].tpl.php (for messages with a specific key)
|
||||
mimemail-message.tpl.php (for all messages)
|
||||
|
||||
Messages can be rendered using different themes. You can choose the following
|
||||
settings to render the e-mail:
|
||||
'current': Theme currently used by the user who runs drupal_mail().
|
||||
'default': Default theme, obtained via variable theme_default.
|
||||
'domain': Theme obtained via Domain Theme module.
|
||||
or any other active theme.
|
||||
|
||||
Images with absolute URL will be available as remote content. To embed images
|
||||
into emails you have to use a relative URL or an internal path.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
instead of http://www.mysite.com/sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg
|
||||
use /home/www/public_html/drupal/sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg
|
||||
or /sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg
|
||||
|
||||
Since some email clients (namely Outlook 2007 and GMail) is tend to only regard
|
||||
inline CSS, you can use the Compressor to convert CSS styles into inline style
|
||||
attributes. It transmogrifies the HTML source by parsing the CSS and inserting the
|
||||
CSS definitions into tags within the HTML based on the CSS selectors. To use the
|
||||
Compressor, just enable it.
