Hi @mohamedbakry83,

In this case you’ll need to copy the email template into a /buddypress/assets/email/single-bp-email.php file of your active theme and edit it from theme to include a new template tag.

something like:

<?php mohamedbakry83_output_avatar(); ?>

Then in a bp-custom.php file, you’ll need to include new function for this template tag:

function mohamedbakry83_output_avatar() {
  $token = '{{recipient.avatar}}';
  printf( '<img src="%s">', $token );
}

In this file, you’ll need to use & adapt the filter @shanebp pasted in his first reply making sure to check $formatted_tokens['friend-requests.url'] & $formatted_tokens['initiator.id'] are set and then set the recipient.avatar token like this :

$formatted_tokens['recipient.avatar'] = bp_core_fetch_avatar(
  array(
    'object'  => 'user',
    'item_id' => $formatted_tokens['initiator.id'],
    'html'    => false,
  )
);

This is for the friendship request email. But you should be able to do it for any email type with this example.

From the codex:

I suggest creating a child-theme that targets the specific BP pages.

If you just want to add background images – i think you can do that via CSS

You can get away with a lot of look&feel by just doing a default cover image

Hey there.. @mizschmitty

What theme are you using?

Try rebuilding..
Tools -> buddypress -> repopulate

Thanks for your input Cool Hunt. Can you direct me to any BuddyBoss or BuddyPress site which I could join as a user? Is there perhaps a directory of such sites somewhere?

The main reason to use the hook is in case another plugin or yourself try to reinstall the emails. If one does that, that email you showed creating will be deleted and you will have to recreate it by hand again. That doesn’t seem to be desireable.

Also, creating via the hook, you can use the correct name when sending the email. You say you read it but your last question implies you don’t know how you are doing and seems to be trying a try and catch attempt. Meaning, trying something and seeing if it works.

I’d recommend doing in the BuddyPress way, the correct way, to avoid problems in the future when upgrading BuddyPress or reinstalling emails.

I cleared up the errors and got an email to send.

Question:

Is it possible to create a new template for certain emails? If I create a new template called single-bp-email-custom-2.php and put that in my /MY-THEME/buddypress/assets/emails folder. How do I tell bp_send_email() function to use it?

we run the exact same setup…………youzer, buddypress, wpforo….

do you have anyone can register selected in general settings?
