I am using SendGrid API to create/update/delete a Design.
as you can see in the picture below, there isn't any JSON item to set the value for the "preheader"
So after creating successfully in the Sendgrid design library the preheader is empty and we should fill it by editing the design. picture below
Is there any solution to set the value to the preheader with API?
I find the solution. As Philnash has mentioned in this post the pre-header is located in the body of the Email Design Html. But we should use some attributes which are very important.
Just append these 2 nested div with a p tag to the body of your Html-content. Then send it to the SendGrid
<div class="module preheader preheader-hide" role="module" data-type="preheader">
<div role="module-content" style="display: none!important; mso-hide:
all; visibility: hidden; ">
<p id="preheaderId"> your pre header </p>
</div>
</div>

Gmail's new image caching is breaking image links in newsletter
(15 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have created the following email template and send email to clients from my website (ASP.NET MVC, C#) using SendGrid. Note that there is an envelope icon at the end of the email.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>Some email content</p>
<hr/>
<p>reply info: </p>

<img src='https://prod-shopless-cdn.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/icons/email-icon.svg' alt='email' height='20' style='vertical-align: middle; padding-right: 5px;'>
<a rel='nofollow' ymailto='mailto:john#some-domain.com' href='mailto:john#some-domain.com'>john#some-domain.com</a>
</p>
</body>
</html>
When I send the email to a yahoo address, I see the following is prepended to the image url: https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail? but the image still shows fine:

How can I resolve this issue?
The change of image URL on both Yahoo and Gmail is because they use their image caching, more info about Gmail Image Proxy
I found the answer to my problem here, it appears that Google Image Proxy works with standard image types (.jpg, .png and .gif)... my image type was .svg, I changed the template to use .png and it works fine now.
I am trying to make a VSTS extension that works like this
The Personas extension lets the user type in the Name, Tag, Description, and Avatar, and add the item on the left column as shown in the image.
This wouldn't be a hard task if I do it on a web, but since this is my first time creating an extension for VSTS, I am not sure how to approach this.
I followed this tutorial: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/extend/get-started/node?view=vsts
and successfully deployed my extension with just my name displayed.
Below is my code that displays some form.
my_hub.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script src="lib/VSS.SDK.min.js"></script>
<style>
body {
background-color: rgb(0, 67, 117);
color: white;
margin: 10px;
font-family: "Segoe UI VSS (Regular)","-apple-system",BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
VSS.init();
console.log(VSS);
VSS.ready(function() {
document.getElementById("name").innerText = VSS.getWebContext().user.name;
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="/action_page.php">
First name:<br>
<input type="text" name="firstname" value="Mickey">
<br>
Last name:<br>
<input type="text" name="lastname" value="Mouse">
<br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
This successfully displays the form in the extension, but my questions are:
How do we save the state so that we can display the saved form data on the left column as shown in the image?
How do we submit the form data to proceed? Do we need a database for this? If so, how do we set it up for this task?
Please help! Thanks.
For developing vsts extension, we do not offer the ability to use a database.
You need to use Data storage. VSTS extensions have the ability to store user preferences and complex data structures directly on Microsoft-provided infrastructure. This ensures your user's data is secure and backed up just like other account and project data. It also means for simple data storage needs, you (as the extension provider) are not required to setup or manage (or pay for) third-party data storage services.
The service is designed to let you store and manage two different
types of data:
Settings: simple key-value settings (like user preferences)
Documents: collections of similar complex objects (documents)
More details about how to set storage please refer official tutorial.
I am new to Sitecore. I am looking to create a custom email template for an email campaign. I am using Sitecore 8.1 with EXM 3.3. I Have been trying to implement the following walk-through:
Walkthrough: Building a custom message template
However, when I create a new email campaign with my new template, I am unable to assign components to the various placeholders on my aspx page. I have proved that the aspx file is the correct file in my Sitecore website by adding plain html to the file and seeing the results displayed in the body section of the message tab in the EXM application, as you can see from the following screen shot.
Below is the code for my Email Template:
<%# Register TagPrefix="sc" Namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" Assembly="Sitecore.Kernel" %>
<%# Register TagPrefix="sc" Namespace="Sitecore.Web.UI.WebControls" Assembly="Sitecore.Analytics" %>
<%# OutputCache Location="None" VaryByParam="none" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>
<!-- Used for storing title of the email -->
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-title"/>
</title>
<!-- The VisitorIdentification control ensures that people viewing this page
with a traditional web browser will be classified as humans not bots.
This control is not required if people only view messages using Email clients -->
<sc:VisitorIdentification runat="server" />
</head>
<body style="background-color:gold">
<label>test html label added here!</label>
<form method="post" runat="server" id="mainform">
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="background-color:blue;color:green;width:100%">
<!-- Used for storing the title of the newsletter in h1 -->
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-header" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="background-color:white;color:black;width:100%">
<!-- Used for storing the content blocks of the newsletter in h2 and paragraphs -->
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-content" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="background-color:blue;color:green;width:100%">
<!-- Used for storing the footer e.g. the unsubscribe link -->
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-footer" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The html code contains the following placeholder keys:
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-title" />
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-header" />
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-content" />
<sc:Placeholder runat="server" Key="mn-footer" />
When go to the Message tab for my email in EXM and choose the Add component button, I get the "Add Here" buttons on my page but am unable to choose any renderings to fit the mn-header and mn-footer components. The mn-content allows me to choose from several predefined renderings as seen in the screen shot below:
Have I missed something important here? How can I select/choose what renderings are available for my placeholders?
The Walk-through contains five sections that need completing:
Create a branch template
You can see from the following screen shot that this section is configured correctly:
Create template
You can see from the following screen shot that this section is configured correctly:
Create the layout
You can see from the following screen shot that this section is configured correctly:
Bind the layout and the message template
I'm pretty sure that I have managed to complete the first 3 sections of the walk-through correctly but when I try to complete the section "Bind the Layout and the message template", point 5 of the walk-through says:
On the Controls tab, add the relevant controls. As a minimum add the following two controls:
Target Item – in /Renderings/Email Campaign.
Set Page Title – in /Renderings/Email Campaign.
But I don't have "Target Item" as an rendering to add in this case as you can see from the following screen shot:
So I have added the following components in the Device Editor from the available renderings as seen in the following screen shot:
Make your template available in EXM
You can see from the following screen shot that this section is configured correctly:
Any Ideas what I am missing or doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
I think documentation for creating custom template is not yet updated for Sitecore EXM 3.3.
I dont think Set Target Item is needed any more. I have installed sample newsletter package and I dont find it using that.
Regarding your question.
You need to create data source item and assign it to your control's data source property.
I would suggest you to install sample newsletter package (came with default exm module package) and see it's structure and presentation details on Message root item. I have attached the one I have created.
For your Scenario you need to create item under message root using "custom newsletter ll content" template and assign that item as a data source for Display body control.
Hope this helps!
Sample News Letter from Sitecore : No Target item present.
Newsletter item with datasource
Now go to presentation details of Root item and attach this data source to renderings
I have a simple default page that renders 3 different content pages.
<div style=" float:left;">
#RenderPage("/Content/AddCounty.cshtml")
</div>
<div style=" float:left;width:300px;">
#RenderPage("/Content/AddTown.cshtml")
</div>
<div style=" float:none;width:300px;">
#RenderPage("/Content/AddCompany.cshtml")
</div>
These pages have kind of same fields like id, text_name.
All of them have forms in it with Post method and submit button.
how to achieve partial update as we used to do in asp.net ?
your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Talha
Use jQuery to post the form values and update the DOM. Have a look at the jQuery Post API
I want to use the Tinymce Editor in my web application. I have a text area on it and I want to submit the data of that text area to the next page. That page should display the data it received. Can you give any suggestions how I can do this.
The best way to think of TinyMCE is as a special textarea. Just like you can submit data from a textarea and retrieve the content via request variables, you can do the same for a TinyMCE editor instance.
In your front-end code, you would have something like this:
...
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas"
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="show.php">
<p>
<textarea name="content" cols="50" rows="15">Content in TinyMCE</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</p>
</form>
...
Then, in your show.php page, you would retrieve the content like you would retrieve a textarea value:
<?php
...
echo $_POST['content'];
...
It's about as simple as that to retrieve the data and display it in your page. Of course, you would need to take security precautions in displaying data that is entered by an end user. Also, this is assuming you are using PHP as the back-end technology; but, the principles carry over to any technology.
And, consult the TinyMCE documentation for detailed instructions and information on advanced use cases.
You should start with this instructions.
Displaying html content is very simple. You need to place the written text one of yor pages receives on that page - that is all.
