Re: HTML Email Templates

Justin,

Mailchimp's edit tags help separate the content from the structure of the template That way, anyone that wants to can add content without mucking around in the HTML of the template You are right that it is in some way tied to their content editor Everywhere there is an edit string, the user can click in that portion and begin adding content - they just can't alter the structure of the box in which they are typing The IF statements are used to help personalize the emails

Here's a whole bunch:

It would be fairly trivial to translate these from MailChimp-specific templates to Dada Mail-specific templates You can kind of see how MailChimp-style template tags work - here's their unsub tag:

|UNSUB|

Just replace that with Dada Mail's unsub tag:

We could literally run these template tags through a simple perl script and spit out Dada Mail-specific templates

There's a few tags that I'm really not familiar with, like:

*|IF:REWARDS|* *|HTML:REWARDS|* *|END:IF|*

I don't really understand what, "mc:edit="monkeyrewards"" is all about - I'm sure something fancy hooked up to their own editor or something Probably could just remove that whole block ;)

Anyways, a good place to start? I'm not sure if the license would be something that would be compatible with the GPL v2, but there's no reason why these can't be available somewhere to download
