Author Topic: Using {config_load} in email templates (Read 510 times)

I would like to use the Smarty {config_load} command to load colors as variables in all email templates so that the resulting emails will match the site template. But I have been unable to get a config file to load. I've used both an absolute URL for the file and a file path (as shown below) and neither works. I've checked the Smarty package in Civi and have verified that the plugin [function.config_load.php] is present, but it may be looking for the config file in a particular location that I haven't been able to determine.

I know the {capture} function works. If I replace the loaded variable "#headerBgColor#" in the capture string with "#0073AE" the resulting style processes correctly. I'm u

My test config file contents are:

Code: [Select]

#email templates configuration file
    # email parameters
       siteName = "Rescue Wild Animals"
       headerBgColor = #0073AE

And the test email template is:

Code: [Select]

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
 <title></title>
</head>
<body>

{config_load file="/www/www/thr/civicrm_code/thrivent.conf"}

{capture name='header' assign='headerStyle'}style="text-align:left; width:600px;height: 210px; padding: 4px; background-color: {#headerBgColor#};margin: 0 auto;"{/capture}
{capture name='label' assign='labelStyle'}style="padding: 4px; border-bottom: 1px solid #999; background-color: #f7f7f7;"{/capture}
{capture name='value' assign='valueStyle'}style="padding: 4px; border-bottom: 1px solid #999;"{/capture}

Any help along this line would be greatly appreciated!
