Magento - Transactional emails not displaying - email

I am having a problem with creating an new email template in the Transaction Emails int he admin area.
In this section if I click Add New Template the drop down box for 'Template' is empty.
In the directory app/locale/en_US/template/email the relevant html files are there.
Any help is much appreciated.

If you don't modify any core file then check your core_email_template table.
If this table is not empty the you need to debug

How to use MailChimp Exported Template to send Email from outlook?

I have created a Newsletter template on MailChimp and exported the template. I have also used the CSS Inliner tool to convert the HTML Code.
But How do I use this code to send the email from my outlook account?
Thanks in Advance for your help.
For this, you can use the import > import as text button in Outlook on the saved HTML file and it should populate into Outlook. (ref)
Open Outlook
Select the Create New-Email icon from the menu bar
From the top navigation menu options choose Insert
Select the Attach File icon
Navigate to the HTML file you want to insert
Select the file (highlight it)
From the Insert Drop Down Menu select Insert as Text
See this answer for more details on Outlook 2016: Getting my HTML into Email
Please keep in mind a couple things:
Outlook strips out all media queries when it sends, effectively removing responsive design
Outlook rewrites your code into Word HTML, which can cause discrepancies in functionality and display
MailChimp usually keeps proprietary code inside of its templates that are not read by other email clients and can cause issues
You need to ensure all CAN-SPAM regulations (physical address, unsubscribe ability) are still displayed inside the email or potentially face fines up to $10,000 per email that violates it.

magento email template format for contact page comment text area field

In my magneto site have contact form and form is submitted successfully, but Comment text area field content show in one line.
Suppose customer write like this(with line break) -
Hello,
I would like to get a price for the product XY.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards
John.
but in email I get like this-
Hello, I would like to get a price for the product XY. Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards John.
I am using this code
{{block type="core/template" name="contactForm" form_action="/contacts/index/post" template="contacts/form.phtml"}}
Please tell me what i do ?
Thanks
To resolve this you should use the System > Transaction emails option in Magento admin.
Add a new template, select contact form and load template. When you have created the template make sure the template type is TEXT and not HTML. If it is HTML you will not get the line breaks. You can open the template and click Convert to Plain Text if it is in HTML.
Once it is created go to System > Config > Contacts > Email Template and select the template you just created.

Sharepoint Workflow setup

Newbie to sharepoint but this thing didnt work for me as expected.
I am trying to have a sharepoint form:
1)Where accounts fills in section (presses submit, email sent to IT to fill in their section)
2) IT gets email, go fill in their section(press submit, email to MD to approve /reject)
3) MD approves/rejects
4) data saves
I have the form working, and using views am able to go between forms.
Issue is how
1)email alert to groups
2)half filled forms, given to other groups
Thanks
To Solve your first problem :
You can create an event reciver which will fire when an item is created in the list as well as when an existing item is changed in the list Or you can also create a workflow for this too.
There is an approval workflow OOTB which may be helpful for you too, but i am not sure about that.
For the Second question :
Whenever you open the existing item again, infopath form will automatically manage the data entered in the form and displays it as filled data.
Hope this helps.

Data Not Showing in Preview, but Does Show in Field Data

I have a crystal report which I created a data source link to from an ADO.NET connection. Within the dataset is a table called vendorPP. When I drag this field onto my report, and hit preview, no data shows. If I right click on the field and say browse field data, I can see the vendors email address that I would like to appear on the report. I am placing the field in a page header. I have checked the font color, and verified that field is not suppressed in any way. I can drag other Fields on there and they appear just fine. Anyone had a similar problem or know how to fix?
Thanks
I think the problem is your report structure. If you put the email field in the page header, it will only the show the first record in the table, which might be a blank record. Try grouping your report by the vendor name and then putting the email field in the group header. Now you should see the vendor name and corresponding email in the group header.
Hope that helps,
Chris

Multiple Contact Forms on Magento

I'm looking to create a new contact form for enquiries on Magento. Creating a module from scratch for this seems like a bit of a waste of time. Does anyone know the most sensible and quickest way for this to happen?
Thanks!
In CMS>Manage Pages create and enable a new page (or you could use a static block) e.g. call the page My Contact Form with a url ID of my-contact-form and a layout that matches your theme. For the content of the new page add
{{block type='core/template' template='contacts/mycontactform.phtml'}}
Now in your template folder (app/design/frontend/default/default/template/contacts for default theme in Magento 1.3.x) copy the existing form.phtml file, rename it to mycontactform.phtml and copy it back to the contacts folder. Edit the new mycontactform.phtml code and html as you wish to create your new contact form.
Load the new form by going to http://www.example.com/my-contact-form
Hope that helps...
In adendum to paj answer: You also have to edit the email template to include whatever new fields you just added.
Keep in mind that both your new contact form and Magento original contact form (an whatever future contact forms you may add in the future with in this way) will all use the same email template.
So in order to have meaningful emails sent, you need to "program" the template using the {{depend}} directive
