Order Confirmation Email Error

Post by alee337 » Thu Oct 23, 2008 1:17 pm

I go on the development site to place an order (http://216.139.230.124). Normally, the order confirmation email is sent and received fine. But when I check my email, I get the following error:

Encountered "\r\n" at line 148, column 77. Was expecting one of: "[" ... "(" ... ... ... "true" ... "false" ... ... ... "{" ... "!" ...

Could someone let me know what we did wrong here? I'm not sure if my programmer touched this part or not, but we really need your help in resolving this before going live.

Many thanks,

Alan

Try the following and also when saving the template check the send HTML mail option. The problem seems to be in the formatting of following code. May be some one mistakenly changed it.

Code: Select all

#if (($orderItem.OrderItemType == "Product") || ($orderItem.OrderItemType == "Discount") || ($orderItem.OrderItemType == "Coupon") || ($orderItem.OrderItemType == "GiftWrap") )
Below is the fixed version use this/

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

padding: 5px;
margin: 0px;

font-family: Arial, Verdana, Sans-Serif;
font-style: strong;
background-color: #304FBA;
text-align: center;

}
TABLE.Email TD {

Re: Order Confirmation Email Error

Post by alee337 » Fri Oct 24, 2008 11:35 am

Thank you Mazhar. I got it to work, BUT there is one problem. The only accounts that receive the emails are GMAIL. I had my co-worker try with our company outlook account and his yahoo account. In both cases, no emails were ever received. Do you know why this is happening?

It may have been a problem since day 1, but because I use gmail, I never noticed it. Any advice??

Thanks,
Alan

It may be something wrong with your company email server or it may be that your company email server has some spam filters that are not allowing messages from your store. It may be that your stores SMTP server is in the list of blocked IPs on you email server .... and possibilities go on...
But whatever it is ... it is somewhere outside AC...
I hope you will figure out soon...
