SilverStripe default email style

Question

Is it possible with SilverStripe 3 to create a default email template/style which is applied to all sent emails, without have to to override each email template separately?

Ideally this could be done as part of a theme.

I've tried defining a custom GenericEmail.ss template but it's been ignored thus far.

Looking at the framework source, creating a custom Email class and overriding the parseVariables() could possibly achieve it, but it seems like overkill?

Answer 1

After trying just now, the default email template can effectively be overriden with a custom one. I put mine under the "templates" folder of my theme (and not in any subfolder), ie /themes/mytheme/templates/GenericEmail.ss

Then tested after a flush=1 (so that the new template is picked up)

Hope this helps
