Sidebar WYSIWYG, but is it HTML capable?

i know we can automatically include modules, but i can't wait for the admins or devs to look into how to make that feature work. so i wanted to copy/paste the html from the modules on the frontend of my site into the sidebar.

when i do that and click save, i get a white screen with only the following text on it...
any ideas if i can include html or why im getting this error? how can i fix this?

Including valid HTML markup into the HTML view of the editor shouldn't be a problem. There could be an error in the html you were including or you didn't paste it into the html view of the wysiwyg editor. You also have to make sure that there are only absolute links inside the html.
Besides from that most modules add a reference to a css file in the head section of the site. This will be the major problem regarding this topic because css in emails should be inline for best compatibility results and not in a separate file. Doing this manually could be a tedious task. If you however choose to do that make sure to triple check the preview and send campaign tests before you send the actual campaign!
If this is something you want to include in every campaign you should put it into your email template so that you dont have to do it again and again. (You'd have to download the template, edit it in a html editor and upload it again.)

Kind regards,

I would rather include these modules in the campaign through the component. Can you look into the way vemod news mailer does it? I'm not a coder or developer so I can't dissect their code but maybe you guys can. Because they make it possible to include modules in the newsletter but their newsletter doesn't use mailchimp and it's only activated on core joomla articles (I use k2)

TEXT FILE

i dont see what's wrong with putting the attached file in the sidebar through the html editor yet i still get the same described error? what's is wrong with my file? no external styles, no classes, no local links. i dont get it!

Hello,

I just created a campaign with the content from your text file in the sidebar and it worked without a problem. Before entering the content in the sidebar editor did you switch the editor to the html view?
Can you send me a super admin login to your site so I can take a look at whats going wrong? To contact at freakedout.de

Kind regards,
Pete

I tried it on your site now and it all worked fine. The only thing i noticed is that the preview doesnt work when using your custom template because it doesnt contain the arctile placeholder. You would have to include the following code to be able to use content articles and get rid of the preview error:

what browser do you use? im using chrome and it wont let me edit the campaigns you created!

i saw the preview worked, but the regular template im using is called "sigma" the "happy holiday" template was not for joomla articles.

i also realized i was hitting "toggle editor" and not the "html" button.

im having no problem with the "happy holiday" template which i got from mailchimp, but the "sigma" one i created never allows me to put in that side bar content. can you check out what the problem might be?

i'm still messing around with it, and you left column template works fine but your right column template doesn't

i'm also checking the boxes for popular articles in the template and no matter which template i use now i can't edit it once its saved. sorry for all the replies im just noticing these things as im going along

i can only edit a campaign if i click the campaign navigation menu and edit the campaign from there. normally i've been trying to edit from the dashboard which is where im getting that 303 error from.
