I am working with drupal 7 site.

I would like to know how to create email template for any email sent from drupal system?

Is there any hook or template should I implement in my custom module or override to make it beautiful like any newsletter emails are received.

I want following emails should be theming.

  1. User Activation User
  2. Password reset
  3. Comment Notification etc...

Email template should looks like

<header>
Dear <User>
<Message Body goes here>
Thanks

You can use htmlmail module. which allow you to create template for your email and allow you theme your mail with Echo module. Even you can add your logo, header, footer and any other information with echo module. See detail on these two project's page.

Take a look at hook_mail. All emails from the system "should" go through that. You can alter the $message['body'] to add your header and footer. If you only want to do this for certain emails, you can use an IF condition on the $key.

Edit: I think I pointed you to the wrong hook. You probably want to use hook_mail_alter to change every email that Drupal sends.

  • Yep, that should do it. you can also take a look at the examples module. It has an example of that hook. cgit.drupalcode.org/examples/tree/email_example/…

  • I updated my original answer... I think you want to use hook_mail_alter to add a header/footer to every email that the system generates.

  • I would like to know that, HOOK_MAIL() hook create using mymodule_mail() always route through my module hook for mail for any mail send from whole system? e.g. commerce module send emails also route from mymodule_mail() to theming body or ONLY System mail can route from mymodule_mail().

  • I didn't get what you asked in the comment but just to let you know, every time a drupal_mail is called every HOOKs associated with hook_mail is invoked. So the mail object gets all the values from all the invoking functions.
