Formatting lost after editing a saved campaign

Hi,

I have created a new campaign and saved it for sending at a later date.

If I then go back in to edit the campaign to include another joomla article which I access by hitting the "Next" button at the base of the page because it is further down the list, I lose the formatting which I have done in Intro Text box and I have to go back in and reformat the text.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Hi,

We've noted this and will be working towards fixing it. In the meantime, please leave formatting your intro text and sidebar text until after you have chosen all your articles.

Hi Chris,

I kind of worked that out as a workaround but good to know it's not something that I'm doing wrong.

I also notice that the component does not use the third party editor which I have installed (which is WysiwygPro). Is this something which may be integrated in the future - being that an installed editor will also work with Joomailer?

We intentionally set it so that it uses tinymce as there were some issues with adding the merge field tags when any other editor was used. If you want to set it to use WysiwygPro then simply change the following in administrator/components/com_joomailermailchimpintegration/views/create/tmpl/default.php on line 49:
Code:
if ( !$tinymce ) { $editortype = 'none'; } else { $editortype = 'tinymce'; }

You would just replace all of that with
Code:
$editortype = 'wysiwygpro'

or whatever the plugin filename is for that editor.

Someone also did this in this thread for JCE editor: www.joomailer.com/Forum/Joomailer-MailCh...or-in-campaigns.html

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks for the swift responses Chris.

I replaced all of those lines with
$editortype = 'wysiwygPro3';
but got errors so in the end I just changed line 53 with this and it all worked well.

I've just started using this component and playing around with it and must say that I am loving its integration with Joomla. Well done guys and the support is fantastic.

One thing I'd say is that my Intro Text editor area is very narrow. Is this normal? I'm using Firefox on a mac.

Depends on what you define as 'narrow' :P The editor width is set to 550 pixels. If you want to make it wider you could edit the file administrator/components/com_joomailermailchimpintegration/views/create/tmpl/default.php at line 698 (Change '550' to a bigger value).
(This change will be lost after an upgrade so you would have to repeat it.)

Kind regards,
Pete

Hi Pete,

Yes that is true as this would not be narrow to some people. I guess for me it's narrow because I'm on a 27" screen. The ability to enlarge the width is great though so thanks for the tip.
