Hi All,

I have been having issues with placing email templates in Silverstripe 3.1

If I use the following:

$email = new Email($from, $to, $subject, $body);
$email->setTemplate('MyEmail');
$email->populateTemplate(Member::currentUser());
$email->send();

Then add the template "MyEmail.ss" into the "/silverstripe-root/themes/mytheme/templates/email" directory, then Silverstripe cannot find it.

If I add "MyEmail.ss" to the "/silverstripe-root/mysite/templates/email" directory, then the template is found.

Anyone else getting this? I have had the same issue on several projects, I set the current theme in config.yml, so not sure what the issue is...

Cheers,

Mo

Hey, mo --

I was just dealing with this yesterday, actually. I assume you're trying to send an email in the CMS? There's no theme in the CMS, so any templates that will be accessed from within the admin need to be in a module, e.g. mysite/.

Hi Unclecheese,

I have been getting this on the back of a CMS form. I was also getting it when trying to send an email on the back of an onAfterWrite, but (thinking about it) the object was written through the CMS as well.

I guess I would have to manually give Email the path of the template file if I want to use it in a theme. But will Email support that?

I will do some digging,

Cheers for the help,

Mo

What is the path to the template you're trying to use? The only restriction is that it cannot be in themes/.
