Fix Error: Email Template Not Defined in Magento 2.1

email-templatesmagento-2.1

When creating a custom email header for a email template it gives an error in the email's body.

Error filtering template: Email template '' is not defined

I have placed in the header using this convention in the email template body (which is just overridden in the theme email)

{{template config_path="design/email/design_email_header_changed_template"}}

I have put the template id into email_templates.xml inside the main module (I know it's bad practice, but for now, please humour me till I fix the main issue)

It is as if it doesn't find it's name for whatever reason or something? It is literally two ' in a row with no name. I did at the time have a – in the label in the section below. It might not have liked that?

<template id="design_email_header_changed_template" label="Header Changed" file="changed_header.html" type="html" module="Magento_Email" area="frontend"/>

I have put the template header in the module under the frontend folder on the root as well as the theme folder (again, I know bad practice, but I'm just trying to figure out what is going on).

I have also updated the config.xml to include the header template:

<header_template>design_email_header_changed_template</header_template>

I am unsure of what I am doing wrong for the system to not retrieve the html file to spit out the template or, rather find the template.

Thanks!

I couldn't fix the main issue, so this is what I did.

I made the "header" kind of extend to the email body. For example, order_email.html and added a CMS block call to there (I know, right!). Within the main admin area, I created a new CMS block and pasted the image (in my case) there. I made sure to name the block so I would be able to call it in the email.

In certain emails where I wanted the CMS block to show, I did this (Magento_Sales/email/order_new.html) - in a template (var/www/magento2/..../app/design/frontend/theme_name/Magento_Sales/email/order_new.html)- as an example:

{{block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" area='frontend' block_id="thank_you"}}

Hope this helps someone! :)

Magento 2 – Fix Email Template ‘custom_mail_template’ Not Defined

You need create file email_templates.xml in etc folder with content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Email:etc/email_templates.xsd">
       <template id="custom_mail_template" label=" Your Custom Label" file="yourfile.html" type="html" module="Vendor_YourModule" area="frontend"/>
</config>

This file using declare template have id custom_mail_template in Configuration with path of template file you want use.

After, you create template email file yourfile.html in path Vendor/YourModule/view/frontend/email/yourfile.html

I hope it help for you.

Magento – Email template ‘custom/mail/template’ is not defined

In Helloworld/Custom/Model/Observer.php file, i think you need change

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $scopeConfig,
    \Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder $transportBuilder,
    \Magento\Framework\Translate\Inline\StateInterface $inlineTranslation
){
    $this->_scopeConfig = $scopeConfig;
    $this->_transportBuilder = $transportBuilder;
    $this->inlineTranslation = $inlineTranslation;
}

public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer){

    $this->inlineTranslation->suspend();

    //return template id(custom_mail_template) setup in Configuration
    $emailtemplate = $this->_scopeConfig->getValue('custom_mail_template',\Magento\Store\Model\ScopeInterface::SCOPE_STORE);

    $transport = $this->_transportBuilder->setTemplateIdentifier($emailtemplate)->setTemplateOptions(
                                [
                                    'area' => \Magento\Framework\App\Area::AREA_FRONTEND,
                                    'store' => $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId(),
                                ]
                            )->setTemplateVars(
                                    [
                                        'store' => $this->_storeManager->getStore(),
                                        'store URL' => $prodUrl
                                    ]
                                )->setFrom(
                                    [
                                        'email' => 'dotnet@gmail.com',
                                        'name' => 'Store Owner'
                                    ]
                                )->addTo(
                                    'training@gmail.com',
                                    'Training'
                                )->getTransport();

    $transport->sendMessage();
    $this->inlineTranslation->resume();
}

And rename: Helloworld/Custom/etc/email_template.xml to Helloworld/Custom/etc/email_templates.xml

I hope it help you.
