It is now possible to specify which version of your e-mail campaign (TEXT or HTML) you wish the View Online link to display.

The default view online link as shown below will always take the recipient through to whichever version they received (TEXT or HTML):

[viewonline]Click here to view this e-mail in your web browser[/viewonline]

To override this default behaviour, just edit the code as show below:

[viewonline:HTML]Click here for the HTML version in your web browser[/viewonline:HTML]
[viewonline:TEXT]Click here for the TEXT version in your web browser[/viewonline:TEXT]

For more details please see our help article about adding unsubscribe and view online links to your e-mail campaigns.

We've added a new feature into Suite26 today that allows you to import your e-mail campaign content directly from a URL.

Many of our customers have their e-mail campaigns designed by agencies which then host them online to view, whilst some customers design their campaigns in a program such as Dreamweaver and then host their on their own webspace for testing.

When you create a new campaign with Suite26 you simply need to enter the URL where your campaign is hosted when you reach stage 3 of the add wizard:

Suite26 will then go to that URL and get the HTML and CSS along with downloading the images into the File Manager.

After a few seconds you should automatically have your campaign content created and fully hosted within Suite26.   The import process will even automatically create the plain text version based on the text within your campaign.

All you need to do is check the content, make any final adjustments or changes and you are ready to send!

Suite26 now supports an alternative WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor for creating and editing your HTML e-mail campaigns.

We now support both the existing editor, TinyMCE, and the new editor, FCKeditor, leaving you free to switch to whichever editor you find easier to use.

Above, the FCKeditor in use and below the TinyMCE editor.

For current users of Suite26 you will find that we have left the default WYSIWYG set to TinyMCE to avoid confusion.  New users of Suite26 will have FCKeditor set as the default.

To switch to the editor your prefer, or to disable the editor completely, just click on the Options tab and then Preferences.

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.
