D7 newsletter problems

I have made a newsletter template in html with pictures & ads spaces, but when i paste it into massmailer tool
 tinyMCE and send it, the members receive  the html plain text instead of the rendition of the page.

Any tip how to solve this? other way to make nice newsletters?

very much appreciated.

hi,

the problem is NOT in Dolphin!

Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail or any other mail services ignore CSS (classes/id).

soo if you want to "pull" any images in your newsletter/notification you'll need to specify the WHOLE path to the image INSIDE the E-mail template body... too much code, but so far i know this is the only way..

it must look something like:

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/"><img src="http://www.yoursite.dk/images/top_logo.jpg" style="position:absolute;" width="863" height="117" border="0" alt="YourSite Logo" ></a>

NOTE: it's recommended to use TABLES instead of DIVs.

anyway i you gonna use DIVs , you need to specify "styles" there.

EXAMPL: <div style="position:relative; border:1px solid #aa8d00; text-align:center; padding-top:10px; color:#ffffff;">

all in all.. :

- no separate CSS files!

- use TABLES for your mail body

- specify FULL pathes to your images

- align template body to the LEFT (recommended)

let me know if you will have any questions.

Hi Tim,

what do I have to paste in massmailer tinyMCE?

ie, the recipients receive the html. it starts with <HTM>...</HTML>

the newsletter is not rendered as a page, even without images.

 hi!

there is an option in tinyMCE - HTML tab

click it and paste yoru HTML code there..

but again.. it requires testing..

If anyone ever sees this, I found this solution on the web: 

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5196205/disable-tinymce-absolute-to-relative-url-conversions

I tried just editing the code in httpdocs\plugins\tiny_mce\tiny_mce_src.js

changed lines 12141 - 12143 from TRUE to false:

convert_urls : false,

relative_urls : false,

remove_script_host : false,
