HTML in newsletter mod.

[lindsayanng]

I want to be able to build my HTML newsletter in dreamweaver and then copy and paste the code into my newsletter to send out to my customers.. Is this something that will just automatically be seen by the user's end email or do i have to make some changes to the way it is sent?

Why dont you try it and see, should take less than 5 minutes, then you could update this thread with how you did it.

I just recently set this up for ourselves... it's a pretty simple change.

 

MAKE BACKUPS FIRST!

 

Find catalog/admin/includes/modules/newsletters/newsletter.php

Around line 63 find:

$mimemessage->add_text($this->content);

And change it to:

$mimemessage->add_html($this->content);

 

And then I BELIEVE you have to go into your Admin Panel -> Configuration -> E-mail Options

and set "Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails" to true (I'm not sure if this NEEDS to be done... I changed this before I changed the code to see if it would work and never bothered with changing it back).

 

That should do it... it works on our site, anyways. If you have a development site or something set your email to the only one with a newsletter subscription and send yourself some random HTML (I did "<h1>Test</h1>" for instance).

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I am going to try this NOW. I did try to just copy and paste the HTML into the newsletter, but that was a no go. I just got CODE in my email. I am goinng to try the above changes to the config. file and see where that leaves me.

ok. i made that small change to the code AND made sure that the HTML option was set to true, however i am still just getting CODE!

Bumping is against forum rules.

 

Did you look in the contributions section?

Sorry, I did not know..

 

I did try all of the contributions and such and there are still problems which is why i am here asking for help.
