Guest Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Hi, I think I've tried everything i can think of for this problem.......but there must be something else! When I did a test newsletter in dreamweaver and then copied and pasted the code into the newsletter content box, it all worked a treat for previewing etc, but when the newsletter was sent out it only came through showing the original source code! I've tried various 'email options' and even using a WISYWIG editor, still no joy...... is there any special code in need to include into the html etc, or anything i need to do in general? any help greatly recieved.... a very frustrated person.....

Clare Clare, when using Dreamweaver or any other WYSIWYG type HTML editor, did you be sure to only copy the code between the <BODY> tags and leave everything else out? Paste the HTML from inbetween the body tags into the newsletter box in the admin and it should work fine for you.

Hi Bill, many thanks for your reply, I have done what you sugested and it still doesnt work! I also tried putting <html></html> tags in and that didnt work either! Still displays perfectly when I preview it though! Quote
Guest Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Clare, Did you ever find a fix for this. I'm having the same problem with html in the newsletter. Thanks Quote
madcrazygirl Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 I am also trying to put together html newsletter! Found this in my search: To render in html apply the following to (approx) line 63 of admin/includes/modules/newsletter/newsletter.php $mimemessage->add_html($this->content); //instead of add_text, which is the default Problem I now have is where do I store and how to reference the images? I have tried a variety but still getting red crosses? Many thanks :'( Quote

sugiartha Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Problem I now have is where do I store and how to reference the images? I have tried a variety but still getting red crosses? you should upload your images manually to catalog images folder (/catalog/images/) and edit image src tags accordingly (ie <img src="http://domain.com/catalog/images/xxx.jpg"> ) Quote Sugiartha ------------------------------------------ concept of life: enjoy aja!

npn2531 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Set the email up as a simple html webpage and view it a browser. That way what you see is what the email recipient will see. Html emails are webpages. For example I have my newsletters in a folder on my catalog level. I build them on the web first and then copy and paste them into the newsletter manager. Copy and paste from the browser source and you cut out the web editor and what ever issue that may be causing. That way I can include a link to that webpage in the email ( the little lines that read 'if you cannot view this correctly etc') Previewing it in the oscommerce admin, or on your computer as a web editor renders it may or may not be accurate. You can include html tags, header tags, title tags, etc in a email without issue. The next time you get an nice html email from some company, view the source, or better yet copy and paste the source into a new blank page on your website. You'll see the email on the web on your website exactly like it appears in your email. Some have the html tags, even the css in a header and some don't. (some contain odd line breaks so you may have to remove them first) The oscommerce off the shelf newsetter manager works just fine to send html newsletters. It sounds like you already know how to configure the admin to send html. If you are using a wysisyg on the newsletter be sure you have that set to html as well.
