problem with validation emails
A couple of problems with the validation emails that are sent after the admin either rejects or accepts a link:

1. No email is sent when a link validates.
2. The emails aren't formatted properly, my line breaks are gone.

Regarding the first problem, where do I go to turn email on for accepted links? For the second problem, when using the template editor my line breaks didn't stay, so I did the writing in a text editor and re-uploaded the files with no luck. What else can I do in order to preserve my line breaks?

Can someone help me?

1) $db_email_add --> links.cfg

2) You should simply use hard returns in the online template editor...using notepad or wordpad and then uploading the files to your server is not the solution.

$db_email_add is now set to 1

hard returns in the template editor don't do the trick either

anymore ideas for me?

thanks!

I've never experienced this. As long as the email-add.txt and email-del.txt templates are correctly formatted then the emails should have that same formatting.

I know... it's really odd. I'm fairly familiar with Links, but have never played around with the features that let users submit their own links before. Now that I am, the last thing I expected to have a problem with was the formatting of template emails!

I downloaded the original Links 2.0 source code and gave it a shot with their email-del.txt. This doesn't even have proper line breaks.

Any more ideas? Somebody must have experienced similar problems before.

Thanks! Ryan

Things still aren't working. Why is this happening? I have tried everything. Can someone tell me which subroutine sends these emails so I can just pull out the code for templates and put the email text in the sub?

Thanks, Ryan
