Customisation and email

  • Hi,

    Playing around with this auction plugin and I have to say it’s nothing more then a few clicks and settings and boom! You have a simple auction site.
    Got two questions though..

    #1
    Is it possible to (easily) customize the design?

    #2
    In the settings, under the Email tab I entered an email address and was thinking if I made a bid I would receive an email on the entered address. This isn’t the case at the moment.
    Am I missing something else here?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    I’ve answered the first question myself. Just wrapped the auctions shortcode in a div and edited my css accordingly. Perhaps not the most elegant solution, but it does the trick.

    Question 2 however is something I can’t seem to find a fix for yet… anyone got any ideas?

    It seems that after I installed and activated the WP Mail SMTP plugin, the emails are being sent.
    A follow-up question that pops up in my mind is customizing the content of the email. At the moment it displays the product url, product name, bid value and product description.
    I would like to change this so that it displays something like User X made a bid of .. Euro’s on product Y.

    Owell, the plugins out-of-the-box functionality seems to work fine now… Would have liked a mention about a secondary email plugin though.

    Hello,

    Go to ultimate-auction -> email-template.php. This file includes email templates for bidder, auction winner, sellers and out bidder. You can customize as per your requirement. It will change email content.

    Thank You

    Hi! Can you help me, how did you do the customization? I can’t find the shortcodes ?? I’d like to customize it myself as well.

    Thank you in advance! ??

    Hi @torokzsofi

    Firstly my apologies for the late reaction. Wasn’t on here for a while.
    To answer your question; I first added the shortcode to the auction stuff in my template. After that I wrapped that shortcode into a div, like so…

    <div class="classofdiv">[add php shortcode here]</div>

    After that I edited my css for the auction like so…

    .classofdiv .auctionelement { add styling here }

    Like I said in a previous message, this might not be the most elegant way of doing things, but it solved my issue for the moment.

    Hope this helps, good luck!
