If you are having trouble with the Transactional Emails in Admin try removing the module attrubute in your config.xml. For example, if you’re using the sample code change line 5 from this:

to this:

This solved the issue for me.

The admin Transactional Email-s don’t work anymore definitly. Does anyone have solution for this?

Thanks for the great article though, it works great, but this is the problem now.

Thanks for the code. I’ve got one problem though. The email works and sends fine but now when I log into the backend and go to System > Transactional Emails > and click ‘Add new template’ the page seems to crash. The template dropdown gets rendered but with no options and everything after that fails to load.

Just wondering if anyone else has had that problem?

I think it could be down to my xml. I’m not sure what I have in the module=”" is correct. My module is in Local > Optimise > Requestcallback

H,
I’ve tried to add a new Email Template file (activecodeline_custom_email1.html) to the folder “/app/locale/en_US/template/email” and use it according to the instructions here, but after I did that the New Email Template page in the admin area stoped working… It looks like the page start to load the templates to the
Load default template- Template dropdown and have an error while doing that so the page stop there (I’m adding a print screen).

Iv’e tried to delete the “activecodeline_custom_email1.html” file from “/app/locale/en_US/template/email” and clean the cache but it didn’t fixed the problem.

How can I fix this?

Thanks for the awesome post! Do you know how I would add the Customer’s Company Name (from Billing Address) in an email template’s subject line?

Great tutorial, but no emails are sent and no errors are generated.

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve literally copied the code as is, no customization what so ever, just to check this solution works. I can provide code if need be.

To point out, I’ve placed this within my own controller – e.g. email/enquiry/hello

If you want to just change Email Subject as posted from subject field–

- Go to System> Transactional Emails
- Click your template to Edit
- delete your static Email subject and replace with
{{var data.subject}}

Here, You should have field with name “subject”

Hi,
I followed this tuto, but still can’t get it work even if I add these lines
$emailTemplate->setSenderName(‘Test’);
$emailTemplate->setSenderEmail(‘somemail@domain.com’);
$emailTemplate->setTemplateSubject(‘STATUS CHANGED’);
How can I check if the operation is successful?
