We typically have 14 articles highlighted in our mailchimp blast. I noticed that you seem to support only 5. Is there a way to add more? Also, can we make the images that accompany each article smaller?

THANKS

Hi,

5 articles is currently hard coded. You can modify it by editing the file /administrator/components/com_joomailermailchimpintegration/controllers/create.php
Change 5 to 14 at line 498, 511, 519, 530, 1516, 1529, 1537 and 1549.

Please keep in mind that you have to do that again after you upgrade joomailer.

Joomailer does not process any images. It takes the images as they appear in your articles. Currently we have no plans to implement image processing.

Kind regards,
Pete

Thanks, Pete! A suggestion (probably not possible) is to somehow imbed the MailChimp template creator INTO Joomailer. Now THAT would be a real, marketable feature, especially to those of us that have a number of templates already created. Also would shorten the learning curve.

Is there a way to re-size the thumbnails that are pulled from the articles?

hi schoolvideonews

Template conversion isn't that difficult, its just a case of changing some of the merge tags, and importing the images from mail-chimp into the administrator/joomialer.../templates folder. I think the guys have done an awesome job :D

The resize of images, have you looked at using K2 to control your sites content, it automatically resizes images the images? and is truly an excellent solution, as is Joomailer, and they work well together.

Just an Idea.

Cheers
