HTML emails. I’ve done this loads in Dreamweaver… how do you do it in Freeway?
I’ve made an email in Freeway and used the Create Email action. Works fine when preview on-line, but when I cut the code a drop it in my bulk email program, the graphic do not appear.
References are wrong somewhere. So what is the Create email action for?

In the Document Setup dialog, fill in the Web Address in the Upload tab. The Create Email Action uses this to create a canonical URL to your resources. If you haven’t filled it in, it can’t guess where to set the links.
Create Email also massages the structure of the HTML, stripping off the extraneous parts and moving style definitions around so that Outlook has a fighting chance at rendering the resulting code. Outlook will still make a dog’s breakfast of the thing, though, but that’s just the way it works.

I have set the web address to www.mysitename.com although it uploads to /public_html

That’s correct. The public_html part will never be exposed to the public, that’s a private path that only Apache ever worries about. Have you viewed source on the published code? What do your references to images look like? Do they begin with http://www.sitename.com/?

Sorted it by adding a Base href

Yes, that’s one way to fix it. But seriously, this is built in to the
Action, and you might want to figure out what is holding it up from
doing what it’s supposed to do, rather than working around it. I’m not
sure all e-mail applications respect base tags at all – you could be
fixing it for a limited subset of the universe of clients.

Then there is something wrong with the Action, or with the way you’ve
applied it to the page. You should file a ticket with Softpress and
see if they can sort it out for you. That’s a flagship Action just
released with the latest version of Freeway, and I’m sure they would
love for it to work as expected all the time. They’ll probably ask you
for your document for dissection. One thing you might try is to create
another (very minimal) document, and see if the problem travels. It
would be a good debugging step.

Hi Kevin,
The action has an option so you can preview the images locally on your
machine before you upload them to the server. Set the control ‘Use
absolute links’ to ‘Yes, preview on server’ and the image links should
point to your uploaded images online.
Let me know if you get stuck.
Regards,
Tim.

Sorry guys… operator error! Only started using Freeway Pro about 4 days ago.
I had uploaded a newsletter without the action applied and then… somehow anonther version got uploaded. When I tried to cut the source code from the newsletter, I was seeing the old one.
Thanks for you help anyway.
Great program!
