i am using Magento 1.5.1.0. I Have already changed all transaction E-Mails in my Magento Project. But i have one last Problem. I have not found a way to change the newsletter Template? Is there a way to change the used template like the other transaction E-Mails?
Regards,
Bertie
I have 1.7 but i think the menu is the same
If i understand your question, in your admin dashboard you should look under System > Transactional Emails > Add new template. From the options field (labeled Template) choose Newsletter ... (there are three templates), load each of them and change them.
Also for the actual newsletter, from admin dashboard chose Newsletter > Newsletter Templates and add a new email.

I am developing website in Magento in which i have used default newsletter feature provided by Magento.
But i want to customize default feature provided by Magento.
customizations i want to do
Change the default table name to "emails"
add fields to the table(found way to do this, but don't know if it's possible after changing table name)
Is this possible to do this customizations?
If it's possible, then how i can do this ?
Changing the default new letter email structure can be done with changing the format of newsletter in your themes locale folder or creating a new newsletter template in admin panel and assigning it throught the configuration menu.
Suppose you want to change the template of unsubscribe of newsletter, In admin panel, we have the option of creating a newsletter template by system/transaction emails. Here you can create a new template. After creating the template as required, In system/configuration, customers/newsletters, Here if we select the tetbox of unsubscription email sender dropdown, You can see your newly created newsletter template. Then save page. I hope it helps u.
I have to build a website for a mobile store. They want to list their products but don't want to start selling yet. I have done a lot of website with Joomla and Virtuemart.
This time I want to use Magento as they use Lightspeed a POS that offers integration with Magento community edition.
My question is can I simply use Magento as a CMS to only display products and a few static pages like about us etc. I went through stackoverflow and found that some members have recommended some good blog integrations for magento so that part is solved(Thanks :-) ).
I know I can use wordpress as a blog with magento.
I rephrase....Can I use it to simply display products!
If Yes then please let me know if I am doing it for the right reason.
the reason are:
Adding products and product information becomes very easy in a
shopping cart(But in a CMS like Joomla each page has to be literally "designed" or I will have to use CCK editor. It still
becomes difficult for the client to update products IMO)
It comes with built in plugins to show related/featured products
etc. with a click on a button or options in the backend while client
simply puts the appropriate tags(With a CMS have to use a plugin or
module in Joomla that has to be set to show in the particular pages)
Automatic display of images etc is easier in Magento in comparison
to a CMS like Joomla where I will have to use a plugin or a gallery
that is set to show inside an article
The buy/add to cart button can easily be disabled and a "more info"
button can be added that will send an email to the client. They get
the exact product code the customer is asking for(Doing that in
Joomla would require a lot of extra stuff like adding codes or use
an advanced contact form with a tag to be entered for each page)
Last but not the least when client is ready to go online it can
easily be converted
Does Magento have two display? One is simply a catalog and the other a store. I have seen that in some stores online(not necessarily using magento) I am assuming either they created a website with the products pages first and then added a store later.
But in many cases it looks like a part of the Shopping application.(i just can't seem to remember which one they were using now).
If Magento allows that then I think my problem is solved. I simply use the "catalog option" and when the client is ready for the store I simply pull the products using a extension from their POS software.
Thank you for taking the time to read/answer.
Using Magento as a catalog only without selling the items is pretty straightforward. The easiest thing to do is just to use the catalog category lists to list the products and just make sure the "order" button is not visible.
You can do this simply by removing it from the product detail template (and the list/grid template in case they have it).
Or you could (I think) set all products to 'out of stock' this will automatically remove the 'order' button.
If you want to be thorough you should edit the cartControllers's addAction to disable adding products to the cart.
If you are going to combine Magento with Wordpress, Fishpig has developed a plugin with which you can use shortcode within Wordpress blogposts or/and pages to display products.
More info about that can be found here: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/shortcodes.html
System > Configuration > Advanced > Advanced
Disable the modules you don't want to use.
For example, if you wanted to use Magento as catalog only then disable sales module.
Hope this works for you!
I am using Magento 1.6.2.
I need to edit the new order mail. Which file is the template for the items? I need the specific file where the items are being generated and formatted.
I already found it.
app/design/frontend/base/default/template/email/order/items.phtml
To edit the New Order email you go into System -> Transactional Emails and click on 'Add New Template'.
Then you load in the existing New Order template by selecting 'New Order' from the drop down menu in the Template input field and click the 'Load Template' button. In the Template Information section you assign a new name to your new template and make the modifications to it before hitting 'Save Template'.
To apply it you go to System -> Configuration -> Sales and Select the Sales Emails option.
In the Order tab you apply your newly saved template to the New Order Confirmation Template dropdown.
Do the same for New order from Guest if you are allowing guest checkout.
The email templates are located under /app/locale/en_us/template/email and /app/locale/en_us/template/email/sales.
The disappointing thing about email templates in Magento is that they expect store owners to manage these using the backend rather than by editing the template files. Of course, you can always just edit the templates directly, but make sure to keep backups of them before updating to a new version of Magento.
It ends up being a lot of work, and from what I've seen, mostly clients do little more than update the logo. If your client wants to have fully custom email templates, expect a good 20+ hours to get them right (cross email client compatibility, client changes, etc).
I have magento demo shop and for example i want registered user to be available to post a product from frontend? Can anyone hook me up with some code showing how to make it? Is it even possible in magento?
It's certainly possible. It actually shouldn't be all that difficult. You're going to create a module, programmatically create an order, and link this page from somewhere. You should be able to hack one together with the following resources:
Programmatically Creating Orders - Inchoo
Creating a Custom Module part 1-8
yes dear it is possible, you have to create a module for that and i think you give to link/tab in customer account page in front side.in account page you provide form of add new product.you have also provide all option like in magento back end. but some customization are required
How do you change the customer invoice template in Magento 1.6? We want to remove the area where it tells the customer about a tracking number and change some of the wording the email produces.
An example of the email we want to edit can be found here: http://deadlydash.com/magento.jpg
System > Transactional Emails > Add Template
Select "New Invoice"
Load Template
Edit as desired
Do the same for guest invoice template as well (if appropriate).
System > Configuration > Sales Emails
Set the templates you've just created as the templates to use for these emails.
