Hi,

I created a newsletter template in /mysite/templates/email/

I created a new newsletter, selected this template, and put some content in the body,

But the sent email does not contain the html from the template.

What do I do wrong?

thx,
Maarten

First: have you flushed your page?

Secondly: I remember I had some issues too with that.

Some things I noticed:

- your Email directory should be with an uppercase 'E'.
- Try adding it to your themes/yourtheme/templates/Email/ folder too.

There is something weird going on with that (or something wrong with the docu), but it should work with my suggestions, at least it worked for me.

Maarten - I am new to this. Can you please advise how to setup a newsletter template. I would like to use the same template as is being used for the site from the theme.

Do I just copy the template structure from the themes across into the "mysite" folder. which files do I need if I was to use an existing them template?

An example of how to setup the tempalte and implement it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

As has been mentioned here, the templates go in /mysite/templates/email

Some info on how to set up in the doc - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=newslettersytemhelp#email_templates

The basic info would be the first/last name and the message itself though it's really up to you how you extend this.
