Missing Icons and how to add hyperlink
« on: December 06, 2012, 11:02:00 am »
Just installed Newsletter Pro. Looks good.
Couple of queries.
In the tinyMCE editor there are no proper icons for facebook etc. (bottom row of icons)
Checked the downloaded zip file Newsletter3.zip and the icons are in one of the folders. Have the icons not been installed in the correct folder on my server?

More important question.
How do I add links in my newsletter? The links buttons are greyed out.

Thank you.

Another problem
Uploaded image to "Image Hosting"
Then in body of Newsletter Message, chose to "Insert image from imagehosting".
Resulted in "Not Found" error. No image was inserted.

One possible cause of this error and the missing icons error:
It seems that the mod is looking for a folder on the server called "admin" but the installation never created a folder called "admin".

Another question.
Where do you put the "signup code" on your website? I thought the mod was for a forum.

Thanks for your help. Am feeling a bit lost with this mod. Wonder if it has installed correctly.

When I send test email to myself and click on links I get

"File is writable by others, please fix permissions and try again."

I have no idea what this means.

Can you send me one of those links?
And or check your file permissions on newstrack.php in the root directory of your forum should be set to 755 or 644 permissions

Newstracking2.php was set to 0666. Have changed this now to 0644.
That has fixed the link error message. Thank you.

Newscron2.php is also set to 0666. Should I change this too to 0644?

Hope you can solve the problems listed in my previous 2 posts.
Also, can you tell me if the "Saved List" and the "Saved Message" should have similar contents. It is rather confusing. Doesn't seem right.

Thank you.

Are you using any kind of url rewriting mod for the above issues?

Well it generates code that can be used on a webpage. If you have a portal you can place the signup form into an html block. Otherwise you would have to find a page or area on your forum and add the html code to your template.

Save list - are lists that you have sent to in your previous email newsletters that have gone.
Save Message - are the html/message content and subject lines that you have sent to in the past.

I am using "Pretty Urls" mod. Is that causing a conflict?

Thanks for the details on the "signup code". Will give that a go.

I thought the "save list" was details of email lists, but they also contain the names of the messages.
If that is how it is supposed to be that is fine.


Just found that the "flags" folder had also not been created on the server.

The main outstanding issues are:
How to insert an image from "image hosting". I can upload an image but then it cannot be found to be inserted into the newsletter. Should I create a directory on the server for that and move some files?

How do I insert pretty hyperlinks into my message? Do I just paste the URL and leave it at that? (Does not look very professional)
Just found this posting http://www.smfhacks.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=41
I cannot see anything like this in my installation. Is that a clue to what is wrong with my hyperlinks?

Thanks for your help.

First part inside pretty urls configuation try to add to skip actions list and add "admin" without quotes

Upload that flags folder to your forum and that will fix flags when viewing logs with ip addresses in the click/view logs for an email

This might be caused by pretty urls try the workaround in my first part of this post. But make sure the imagehosting in your main directory is writable.

You should have a editor on your newsletter page that looks like this 

There is a link icon on the top row with a link icon. You can highlight text and then click the link icon which will prompt you to enter in the link url.

Thank you very much for this.

Adding the word "admin" without quotes, to skip actions in Pretty Urls, has fixed the image hosting problem. I can now insert images from the image hosting folder.  :)

The hyperlinks are now working. :)
I had not realised that you have to highlight text and then the hyperlink icon in the tinymce editor becomes active.
I thought it was not working because it was greyed out..
Once I highlighted some text I could then use the hyperlink icon. Then the hyperlink I used was added to the list of hyperlinks in Newsletter Pro.

So all is looking good.
I really like the product.
Thank you so much for your help.


Looks like Pretty Urls caused my issues, but it is easy to fix with the use of one word. Would never have sorted that myself.
Great service. Thank you.
