Acymailing Editor Limitations

galbur

I worked with Acymailing 5 with Joomla since Years and now i'm a little bit dissapointed about the Limitations under Acymailing 7.

It was a lot of work to build Templates under Acymailing 5 but at least they worked fine for me and the customers who where able to copy, delete and move whole blocks.

For a projcet a had to change the CMS to Wordpress. So i installed Acymailing 5. And i imported some of my Templates as a Base. But i wasn't able to load the templates. Then i couldn't find the possibility under settings to change the editor to Acymailing Editor.

So. I thaught it is a good start to give Acymailing 7 a chance (never change a running team;-)
So i trid to "rebuild" some of my templates.
Drag and Drop is great but i'm not able build a block like this:

Then I thought I'd buy the template pack. There is sure to be a template underneath that I could build on. Unfortunately that didn't work either.

How can I load templates into Acymailing 5 under Wordpress or how can I build a block with Acymailing 7 that meets my requirements?

Hi,

Are these text and images you insert manually in your mail or are these articles/posts you are displaying?

Hi,

You can use multi-column blocks to achieve this. It's all documented here: https://docs.acymailing.com/main-pages/templates/create-a-template

Hi and thank you

But it seems, it's not possible to have a title (width 100%) and underneath two columns (40% 60%) in one Block?
Strangely enough, this seems to be possible with dynamic content.

And my second Question was: Is there no Acymailing Editor under WP in Version 5?

Thank you
Best regards

Hi,

You would indeed need two bloacks to have the first one 100% width and the second one in columns.

In case you mean you want to use the html editor you would need to create a new template first. When starting a new template Acymailing will ask yoou if you want to use the html editor or the drag & drop editor. Once you have created this template you can start a new mail and choose that template, Acymailing will then show you the html editor.

Hi
Ok, Thank you.
It was quite easier to build more Complex blocks with Acymailing 5.

But: it seems, this is not working under WP anymore (with Acymailing 5). Because there is no more Acymailing Editor?

In general, I have a hard time with the new version. I just liked Acymailing 5 better. And it is different again under Wordpress.
