Mail templates¶

When you want a multi-alternatives email, you need to provide a subject, the text/plain body and the text/html body.

All these parts are loaded from your email template directory.

templates/mails/invitation/subject.txt:

{% load i18n %}{% blocktrans %}[{{ site_name }}] Invitation to the beta{% endblocktrans %}

A little warning: the subject needs to be on a single line

You can also create a different subject file for each language:

templates/mails/invitation/en/subject.txt:

[{{ site_name }}] Invitation to the beta

templates/mails/invitation/body.txt:

{% load i18n %}{% blocktrans with full_name=user.get_full_name expiration_date=expiration_date|date:"l d F Y" %}
Dear {{ full_name }},

You just received an invitation to connect to our beta program.

Please click on the link below to activate your account:

{{ activation_url }}

This link will expire on: {{ expiration_date }}

{{ site_name }}

{% endblocktrans %}

If you don’t provide a body.html the mail will be sent in text/plain only, if it is present, it will be added as an alternative and displayed if the user’s mail client handles html emails.

templates/mails/invitation/body.html:
