File attached is a copy of this post.
Might get a better idea of what I'm talking about as the forum munges posts and the layout I'm trying to explain is altered here.
Hi all,
Got more of niggle than a problem.
The emails sent via catalog are not aligned as prefferred.
Please see this example:
__Order Status__________________________________________________
Order Number: SB26RP10000079
Shipping Method: Second Class Recorded
Payment Status: Pending
Date Received: 2003/08/07 18:47 GMT
Payment Method: CHEQUE/POSTAL ORDER/Cash In advance
__Lines Ordered_________________________________________________
O2 Pay As You Go 'Talkalot' Sim Pack (O2SIMPACK)
No. Not Yet Shipped: 1
Unit Price: £4.99 Total Cost £4.99
________________________________________________________________
__Totals________________________________________________________
Subtotal: £4.99
Shipping & Handling: £0.98
Total Tax: £0.17
Total: £6.14
________________________________________________________________
You can see that the order number, shipping method etc & the total prices are not aligned very nicely.
Background: I have had to install Normans patch to allow emails to me sent via sendmail as they would not work otherwise.
I have also commented out a line in the patched actinic.pm so that the email is not one continuous line.
# $sMessageText =~ s/\n/\r\n/g; # all LF -> CRLF
The patch and the commented out line work a treat, my question is finally:
Is there a way to align the items mentioned like so?
...
Order Number: SB26RP10000079
Shipping Method: Second Class Recorded
Payment Status: Pending
Date Received: 2003/08/07 18:47 GMT
Payment Method: CHEQUE/POSTAL ORDER/Cash In advance
...
Subtotal: £4.99
Shipping & Handling: £0.98
Total Tax: £0.17
Total: £6.14
...
Could the solution have something to do with the items like <Actinic:COMPANY_CONTACT_ADDRESS1_SEP/> with the templates?
E.G If I found the seperator for the Order number and prefixed it with 2 to shift it along two spaces.
Apologies if this has already been covered but I didn't find it.
Any help appreciated
Simon
