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 That's pretty neat I should probably be less than lazy and do this myself, but I'm curious: is the whole template in an editor window, with certain parts, "locked" out, or, is the whole document just on the page, and the user clicks in the areas that they may edit? Yes The editor would be able to see the template as it stands and click in certain areas to add content It is even robust enough to allow - or disallow - changes to any css-attributable properties like font family, size, color, spacing, etc I've created a template for my church to use for their newsletters The person they have sending the email out is barely computer literate and they can even handle working with this interface I love that the actual layout is untouchable
I was looking for support for the former in CKeditor, etc, but I can't find anything, somewhat surprisingly The latter is a lot easier of an idea, and tools exist to do something similar

That would make authoring fancy messages much more easier for people with limited editing skills, so long as someone sets all the fancy things up, for them I haven't used Dada Mail in awhile but I've been paying attention to the list and from what I can gather, the structure for something similar is in place already You have template tags now so all you really need is an expansion of tags and a parser - javascript? - to handle the interface I'm fairly certain you can even integrate CKeditor into this as the editor wouldn't be activated until the user clicks in a certain area to edit content From there you could actually load any RTE you want
