Civimail: "click here to read online" feature
March 10, 2010, 11:13:35 am
Hi,

Having a new url like /civicrm/mailing/view?contactid=xxx&mailingid=yyy that would generate the body of the mail, with the token replacement and display it.

Rationale: shit happens with html email and having a "click here to read online" is nice as the first line.

and it can be put as well in the text part, of course.

After a discussion with lobo, it needs a checksum like feature (so you can't use that to see contact details that aren't yours).

Might be useful as well on the emailing activity, as the format today isn't that good.

Is there already a function to generate a permanent checksum (as opposed to the 8 days one) ?

Were you ever able to set up the "view online" feature?

Hi,

We did create a node type newsletter that fetches the right content and used it both to generate the newsletter body and as the online readable version.

Don't have personalisation (dear XXX) but not a big deal.

Would you be willing to share how you accomplished that?

Thanks!

Hi,

That has nothing to do with civicrm, just templating in drupal to generate the html. This depends very much on what you want to put in our newsletter.

http://www.pes.org/en/redalert/pes-council-2010-0

The admins got an extra few lines to make it easier to copy paste (namely, take the relevant content and put it in a textarea). Again, probably quite specific on how you've coded the html.

Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
  htmlvalue = '<table>'+$('#newsletter').html();
  end7 = htmlvalue.indexOf('<!-- END 7 -->');
  htmlvalue = htmlvalue.substring(0,end7);
  teaser =  "if you can't read this e-mail, you can <a href='http://www.pes.org/en/redalert/pes-council-2010-0'>read it in your browser:</a> or <a href='http://www.pes.org/en/redalert/pes-council-2010-0?print=1'>Print it</a>. ";
 
  $("#htmlvalue").val(teaser+"<br/>"+htmlvalue);
 
  $(".fullwidth").width(798);
});
</script>
 
 
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" offset="0">
<textarea id="htmlvalue" style="width:100%; height:300px;"></textarea>

I feel puzzled by all this, or maybe I misunderstood where this thread has gone.

In CiviMail there is a link to "» View complete message" which pops up a new window to display the message that was sent out, at a link like: http://www.foo.com/civicrm/mailing/report?reset=1&html=1&mid=89

This is the original HTML that was sent out and has no token replacement or personalized info in it. Is there a way to provide a public link to this page, which can be included as a token in the message?  Perhaps deciding if there will be a public link could be a setting for each mailing as it is sent out.

The alternative is to manually copy and paste this HTML into a web page and store it on the server.

Cheers,

Tobias

In Drupal.

I did the same here, but the editors still have to copy/paste the html source of the Drupal body editor into the CiviCRM mail editor. Did you find any way to automate that ?

sorry, just came across this now. the problem has gone away for me with an upgrade to civicrm - public newsletters can be accessed by the public. you just have to link to them. see this link for an example: http://www.kabissa.org/newsletters
