I'm looking to migrate away from another BB, and need to know: What are the notification emails like when a user posts a new topic, or somebody replies to a message? Does it include the title of the topic, the body of the message (or a portion thereof), or any custom fields? Can the design of the notification emails be modified?
Thanks!
There are no custom fields... the messages can be modified in the emails.english.php template files
Sorry, to be more clear, I'm trying to find out if the notification email can include the title of the post, and at least a snippet of the post text. Also, can it use HTML or is it limited to plain text email?
why don't you take a look? :)
for example
'notify_boards' => array(
/*
@additional_params: notify_boards
TOPICSUBJECT: The subject of the topic causing the notification
TOPICLINK: A link to the topic.
UNSUBSCRIBELINK: Link to unsubscribe from notifications.
@description:
*/
'subject' => 'New Topic: {TOPICSUBJECT}',
'body' => 'A new topic, \'{TOPICSUBJECT}\', has been made on a board you are watching.
You can see it at
{TOPICLINK}
Unsubscribe to new topics from this board by using this link:
{UNSUBSCRIBELINK}
{REGARDS}',
),
so, yes to title...
and yes, to html (but characters have to be escaped)

admin -> features and options Don't allow post text in notifications
if this option is checked the text of the post will not be in the email notification.
