    Hi there,

    This is a very nice plugin!

    I’m just a bit of a coding idiot and I would like to remove some of the styling in the e-mail notification that gets sent when an application is submitted.

    I read in an earlier thread that you stated:

    You can override the applicant email template through by using the following hook(sjb_applicant_email_template).

    As someone who has no idea how to do work with hooks and filters, can you possibly help?

    I’m looking to change this:

    $message = '<div style="width:700px; margin:0 auto;  border: 1px solid #95B3D7;font-family:Arial;">'
                . '<div style="border: 1px solid #95B3D7; background-color:#95B3D7;">'
                . ' <h2 style="text-align:center;">' . $header_title . '</h2>'
                . ' </div>'
                . '<div  style="margin:10px;">'
                . '<p>' . date("Y/m/d") . '</p>'
                . '<p>';

    To this:

    $message = '<div style="width:600px; margin:0 auto;  border: 1px solid #ffffff;font-family:Arial;">'
                . '<div style="border: 1px solid #ffffff; background-color:#ffffff;">'
                . ' <h2 style="text-align:center;">' . $header_title . '</h2>'
                . ' </div>'
                . '<div  style="margin:10px;">'
                . '<p>' . date("Y/m/d") . '</p>'
                . '<p>';

    I know I need to do this in my themes functions.php, but I have no idea how to do this.

    Can you possibly help?

  • Hello @whereverpanda,
    You can use this filter sjb_email_start_template to override the email template. You can do this by adding this filter in your themes functions.php file.

    add('sjb_email_start_template', 'modify_email_template',10,3 );
function modify_email_template($message, $notification_receiver, $post_id){
 // paste your code here
}

    Thank you for reaching us out. Let us know if we can assist you further.

    Hi Ammar,

    Thanks for this, but putting that in functions.php breaks the site with this message:

    Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function add()

    I’ve tried using add_filter instead of add, which doesn’t give an error, but just makes the header disappear from the e-mail completely

    Here is my code. Can you see anything wrong?

    add_filter('sjb_email_start_template', 'modify_email_template',10,3 );
function modify_email_template($message, $notification_receiver, $post_id){
        $message = '<div style="width:600px; margin:0 auto;  border: 1px solid #ff0000;font-family:Helvetica;">'
                . '<div style="border: 1px solid #ff0000; background-color:#ff0000;">'
                . ' <h2 style="text-align:center;">' . $header_title . '</h2>'
                . ' </div>'
                . '<div  style="margin:10px;">'
                . '<p>' . date("Y/m/d") . '</p>'
                . '<p>';
}

    Thanks for your quick reply!

    Hi @whereverpanda,

    You forget to return the $message in your code. Please try the below code.

    add_filter('sjb_email_start_template', 'modify_email_template',10,3 );
function modify_email_template($message, $notification_receiver, $post_id){
        $message = '<div style="width:600px; margin:0 auto;  border: 1px solid #ff0000;font-family:Helvetica;">'
                . '<div style="border: 1px solid #ff0000; background-color:#ff0000;">'
                . ' <h2 style="text-align:center;">' . $header_title . '</h2>'
                . ' </div>'
                . '<div  style="margin:10px;">'
                . '<p>' . date("Y/m/d") . '</p>'
                . '<p>';

            return $message;
}

    Let us know if there is still any issue.

    That did the trick – sorry I’m an absolute idiot when it comes to these hooks and functions!

    Thanks a ton!
