Changing the e-mail header and footer for notification e-mails

How to change the e-mail header and footer for LiveWhale notification e-mails.

This setting can be adjusted using the master LiveWhale configuration. (Please see “Configuring LiveWhale” for more information.)

All LiveWhale notification e-mails contain a header and footer which identifies it as an automatic message delivered via the CMS. This message can be customized according to your institution’s needs.

Open the master LiveWhale config (/livewhale/core/config.php) using an FTP client or via the command line.

The two options related to notification headers and footers are:

  • EMAIL_HEADER

Set this message to the e-mail header text. A default is provided.

  • EMAIL_FOOTER

Set this message to the e-mail footer text. A default is provided.

If you wish to include the name of the user being e-mailed, you may make use of the %recipient% variable in the message string wherever the user’s first name should be displayed.
