Question Is it possible to retain WYSIWYG in templates

[Bo Andersen]

Hi There,

When I save a template made in WYSIWYG mode, it seems the rendered BB code is saved. This means that when I add images and tables to the template, new mails based on that template will show the markup rather even if the editor is switched back to WYSIWYG mode.

Am I overlooking something?

For instance, after saving a template with a table, a new post shows:

<table align="left" class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border wysiwyg_dashes" style="width: 866px; " width="866"><tbody><tr class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border_tr wysiwyg_dashes_tr"><td class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border_td wysiwyg_dashes_td">Nyhedsbrev nr:</td><td class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border_td wysiwyg_dashes_td">
</td></tr><tr class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border_tr wysiwyg_dashes_tr"><td class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border_td wysiwyg_dashes_td">
</td><td class="wysiwyg_cms_table_outer_border_td wysiwyg_dashes_td">
</td></tr></tbody></table>

rather than the table.
It's purely cosmetic, and the email sends fine - that is unless the user who sends the mail happens to fuck it up

Thanks

That's not something I've been able to replicate, but some people have problems with the CKEditor in mysterious ways. Are you running any plugins that could interfere with CKEditor in some way?

Hi Fillip,

Thanks for your reply - I don't know what is wrong with the editor - i've disabled all plugins (had very few) without effect. The editor works well in other areas. In the vbmail version of the editor, there is not an image button

Hope someone has a hint

Thanks

Bo

The Image button does not show up because it's intertwined with the Attachments interface, and there's currently no support for attachments in vBMail.

Hi Fillip,

I apologize if I should have put this in a new thread...

My problem would be solved if I could put an html header/footer on a mailing list - we would actually like all mails from our list to have the same top/bottom. Is there any way (hacks included) that we could specify include files for before/after the message?

As it is now, the sender will have to replace "TEXT HERE" below with their message body, and that'll go horribly wrong.

Thanks

Bo

You can save it as a Template, but they will still need to replace the text you mention. There's no functionality for include templates at this time

Since this question is unrelated to the OP and the OP has been addressed, I'll close this
