Magento – How tonclude Customized phtml file in email template

email-templatesmagento-1.8template

I am trying to send coupon code with email on new account registration. For that I created email template system > transactional emails.

Here in this email template I have included coupon.phtml file which is located at app/design/frontend/theme/default/template/email/coupon.phtml using below code.

{{block type="core/template" name="email_coupon" template="email/coupon.phtml"}}

But this is not working. I am not getting any html which I have added in coupon.html. Please guide where I have mistaken.

For this case you need to create a handler and this handler will render the you phtml( at local.xml at app/design/frontend/YOUR_PAackage/YOUR_template/layout) on html template

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <amit_customer_addhan>
        <block type="core/template" name="email_coupon" template="email/coupon.phtml" />
    </amit_customer_addhan>
</layout>

then on email html template call handler

   {{layout handle="amit_customer_addhan" }}

OR: Without call of handler:

call a block file without layout handler and ans parameter for

 {{block type='core/template' area='frontend' template='email/coupon.phtml' }}

The template is not aware of the email template that is calling it.
If your template needs to look differently based on the e-mail, you need to use 2 templates for 2 different emails.
I mean instead of using in both of them

 {{layout handle="some_handle_here"}}

in both of them, you need to use in the section one something like this:

 {{layout handle="some_other_handle_here"}}

and create the new layout handle in one of your layout files and use a different template file.

I think your proposed solution will work without editing template files in your theme. Below I have created a simple sample template for you to paste in a new template.

System > Transactional Emails > Add New Template

Paste this into Template Styles

body,td { color:#2f2f2f; font:11px/1.35em Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }

Below is the whole template to paste in to Template Content.

<body style="background:#F6F6F6; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; margin:0; padding:0;">
<div style="background:#F6F6F6; font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:12px; margin:0; padding:0;">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" height="100%" width="100%">
    <tr>
        <td align="center" valign="top" style="padding:20px 0 20px 0">
            <!-- [ header starts here] -->
            <table bgcolor="FFFFFF" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="10" border="0" width="650" style="border:1px solid #E0E0E0;">
                <tr>
                    <td valign="top">
                        <a href="{{store url=""}}" style="color:#1E7EC8;"><img src="{{var logo_url}}" alt="{{var logo_alt}}" border="0"/></a>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <!-- [ middle starts here] -->
                <tr>
                    <td valign="top">
                        <h1 style="font-size:22px; font-weight:normal; line-height:22px; margin:0 0 11px 0;"">Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.</h1>
                         <p>Below you will find your $5 coupon to use in store.</p>
            <p><img src="[THE ABSOLUTE URL FOR YOUR IMAGE EG: http://www.melissastore.com/media/coupon.png" alt="$5 Off Coupon" title="Print This Email to Claim your Coupon In Store" /></p>
                    </td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <td bgcolor="#EAEAEA" align="center" style="background:#EAEAEA; text-align:center;"><center><p style="font-size:12px; margin:0;">Thank you again, <strong>{{var store.getFrontendName()}}</strong></p></center></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</div>

Note the line that contains

<img src="[THE ABSOLUTE URL FOR YOUR IMAGE EG: http://www.melissastore.com/media/coupon.png" alt="$5 Off Coupon" title="Print This Email to Claim your Coupon In Store" />

You need to substitute the src with your own image's url in the above code. Upload the image using your FTP client.
