Built-in WYSIWYG editor & link tracking
We'd like to start by saying thank you to everybody who has contacted us recently with suggestions of features they would like to see implemented into Suite26. Please keep them coming to suggestions@26.co.uk
From this feedback we would like to announce two small new features which may be useful in some circumstances.
Disable WYSIWYG Editor:
Some users design their e-mail templates in their favourite design program (Dreamweaver etc) and host the images for their mailer on their own servers. In these cases it may be desirable to bypass the built-in WYSIWYG editor functionality.
To turn off the WYSIWYG you will need to click on the Options tab, then Preferences and tick the Disable WYSIWYG Editor checkbox. With the editor disabled you will simply be provided with a standard text box to paste your HTML code into.
Disable Link Tracking:
Suite26 has always had the ability to turn tracking (opens & clicks) off on a per e-mail basis (available from the Send Campaign wizard), but it is now possible to disable tracking for a specific link within a campaign.
You may want to do this if you have a link which you wish to insert personalised information into (such as a membership number or e-mail address). To disable tracking for a specific link you will need to switch the WYSIWYG editor into HTML code view and edit the link to add so that it contains rel="s26-no-track" - your link should look like this:
<a rel="s26-no-track" href="http://www.mylinkhere.com/mylink.html">
If you require any help with these new features or need further information, please e-mail support@26.co.uk and we will be happy to assist.
