Magento 1.9 – Custom Images in Responsive Email Header File

email-templatesmagento-1.9rwd

I have upgraded to Magento 1.9.1.0 and see that Magento has implemented a new way to include the header and footer of e-mails in transactional e-mails. Great!

I have succesfully included the header.phtml file with {{template config_path="design/email/header"}}. However, in header.phtml I want to add custom images. In the default file of Magento the logo is included by using {{var logo_url}}.

However, a command which I would normally use is not working:

Anyone got an idea on how to include custom images in the header of your transactional e-mails?

Getting image URLs is done with the following snippets:

{{skin url="path/to/file.jpg" _area="frontend"}}

{{media url='path/to/file.jpg'}}

Magento – Add a JS file to index page for custom jQuery

You can use this in your page.xml:

<action method="addItem"><type>skin_js</type><name>js/jQuery.min.js</name></action>

it should work, and load the js from your skin folder.

Much better idea than using xml to load jQuery is to load it in your header from a CDN go to your head.phtml and add this before <?php echo $this->getCssJsHtml() ?> :

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>!window.jQuery && document.write(unescape('%3Cscript src="<?php echo $this->getSkinUrl('js/jquery.min.js'); ?>"%3E%3C/script%3E'))</script>
<script>
    jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

I added jQuery.noConflict(); to fix the conflict with prototype. Also add jquery to your skin inside the JS folder, so if the CDN is not working the system will load it from your template

I have updated these classes and It is working as expected now.
