Templates

We’re now going to look at Newsletter Templates in EasyNews, how they are built and what you can do with them. Templates are used to create the different Newsletters. Each Template consists of several Modules wich can be draged and dropped into the Editor.

EasyNews is to over 90% compatible with StampReady, so these Templates can be purchased, changed and implemented with ease.

Shared Templates

EasyStudios provides a set of Shared Templates that are aviailable on every application. These Templates are published by EasyStudios and set to IsShared, then they are instantly aviailable for all customers. These templates can not be edited by the customer.

Customers do not have the option to share a Template.

Template Import

Templates can be imported in every application in three different ways:

By Zip
By Html
By Code

To Import a Template go to “Templates” in the “Settings”-Tab.

Previews

While importing, the Preview Images will be generated on the Server for the whole Template, as well as for each Module in the uploaded Template.

Import By Zip

A Template can be importet via. Zip Archive. This method is perfect to implement a Template using local Images.

Zip Structure

index.html
images or img
- image.png
- image.jpg
- image.gif
- ìmage.jpeg

HTML

Make sure there is only one .html File in the zip Archive, everything else is unsupported.

Images

The images used in the template have to be placed in the images folder (img is also supported). All images in the supported Formats (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif) in this folder will be imported.

Import By Html

A Template can be imported via. HTML File. Make sure that every image is linked as an absolute link.

Import By Code

A Template can be imported via. Code Input directly. Make sure that every image is linked as an absolute link.

Modules

Note: a template must contain at least one module for a successful import!

Templates consist of different modules. The modules represent a block that can be used in a newsletter. A module will be separated by the data-moduleattribute.

<table data-module="hello_world">
	<tr>
		<td>Hello World</td>
	</tr>
</table>

This ensures that the module will be listet in the editor and that the user can drag and drop the module from the Modules bar into the Newsletter.

Thumbnails

The Thumbnails of a module gets generated when the theme is uploaded, see Import Zip.
