SUPEE-6788 - Empty Emails

[paul_c]

Hi Guys,

Having issues with Sales emails - they come into inbox Empty!

I tried creating new email template and tried previewing it - same result!

Has anybody dealt with this issue?

I have flushed refreshed and flushed cache and now the previews work.

I'll see if this has resolved the issue with sales emails.

Blocks and Variables now have to be registered in a whitelist before they can be used in templates. This causes missing content in everything from CMS pages to emails.

APPSEC-1057 (part of SUPEE-6788) states

Magento now includes a whitelist of allowed blocks or directives. If a module or anyone uses variables like {{config path=”web/unsecure/base_url”}} and {{block type=rss/order_new}} in CMS pages or emails, and the directives are not on this list, you will need to add them with your database installation script.

Extensions or custom code that handles content (like blog extensions) might be affected. If your code uses some config variables or blocks, you need to create a data update script that adds variables or blocks to the white list tables:

The following posts show how to add items to the whitelist:

I tried flushing Magento's cache on my store as well and our e-mails have been fixed as well.  Thanks!

This is pretty much the worst idea ever.
