sending html email/newsletter

Yes I installed the tinyMCE mod in order to send nice HTML-based newsletters and emails and it is working find. However, I have discovered that actually creating the template using tinyMCE is a PITA, so I am using a friendlier package to markup the HTML for a letter.

 

The problem is when I try to paste the html code into tinyMCE and send it, it is just sending the code and not interpreting it.

 

Does anyone have any tips on sending premade HTML with osC???

Well since no one wanted to help I thought I would post the answer myself. To post pre-built HTML using the tinyMCE editor contrib, you have to select the "Edit HTML Source" button BEFORE pasting your code into the editor. I guess this makes sense but no where could I find this answers.

 

Also, you have to upload all the images to you osC server and create a directory. Then, make sure you use FULL URL PATH NAMES (ie http://www.yourserver.com/images) for your images.

 

Finally, you have to alter the init string in tinyMCE with the following...

 

tinyMCE.init({

...

relative_urls : false,

remove_script_host : false,

...

 

Good luck...hope this helps someone.
