Full Version: can I edit the notification email?
that would be cool. anybody know where that is?
You will need to edit the new-comment.tmpl file found in tmpl/email
thanks a, but i guess i meant the email that gets sent from the "Send a Notification" section of a new entry. i am using the entry fields for different things so the email doesn't really work for the blog i want to use it for.
in the tmpl/email folder there is only new-comment and verify-subscribe.
thanks!

At least in 3.121, new-comment.tmpl is not where you can change the signature that appears in the bottom of the MT generated emails.
You have to edit lib/MT.pm
(caution: this is a main component of the software)
Starting at Line 31:
CODE
sub version_slug {
return <<SLUG;
Powered by Movable Type
Version $VERSION
http://www.movabletype.org/
SLUG
}
return <<SLUG;
Powered by Movable Type
Version $VERSION
http://www.movabletype.org/
SLUG
}
I changed it to something relating to my weblog:
CODE
sub version_slug {
return <<SLUG;
The Life of Brian
No apologies to Monty Python,
as I had the name and life first.
http://www.mr-miata.com/
SLUG
}
return <<SLUG;

Plain text probably would be best as you are in the middle of code. The http line gets encoded into a clickable link.

I'm no lawyer, but I assumed by proprietary notices they were refering to:

I'm using MT 3.15.
I would like to edit the notification e-mail header, not just the body. In particular, I want to edit the the subject line -- it's very wordy as it is. Plus, I don't have multiple blogs, so I don't need my blog name in the subject.
I'd like the subject line to go something like this:
[Title of entry] - Comment by [commenter's name]
I was able to edit one of the programmy files on version 2.64 (maybe comments.pm?), but it was a loooong time ago and I had a lot of help (someone told me exactly what to edit).
Can anyone help?
