Geeklog Forums

i have noticed that when you email an article to a friend, it dsireagrds all the html and images in the article! is there any way to include the html and images of the article in the email?? Tim

Geeklog always sends emails in text format (the only exception is the "Mail Users" function from the Admin menu, where you can select HTML format as an option). My personal opinion is that HTML shouldn't be used in emails anyway. It only inflates the size, is unreadable if the recipient's mail application can't handle HTML and introduces all sorts of security and privacy issues. And, anyway, the email contains a link to the story on the site, so people can view it there in all it's glory. Isn't that what this feature is all about? To get more people to visit your site? bye, Dirk

ok after the rant! is there any way i could change it to send in html?

Hehe, as I said, that was just my personal opinion :-)

Geeklog uses PHP's mail function to send email. So I suggest you look up that function in the PHP manual. It also contains examples on how to send HTML mails.
