Read online - creation of the url

Mai

Hi here,
How is the read online url created? I would think it is something like:
/en/component/acym/archive/id-alias
but when I try to change the ID (as found in the Email-list) this doesn't refer to the correct email.
I want to use this URL to add manually in the newsletter (to offer the user the newsletter in another language)
Thanks for feedback!

Hi,

Just wondering, why don't you use the Acymailing multilingual option for your mails?

I use the multifunctional language.
But in newsletter language A I want to refer to newsletter language B, so I want to add the online newsletter of that other language. Therefore I want to understand how the online urls are generated.

I saw this is possible ?option=com_acym&ctrl=archive&task=view&id=730&tmpl=raw but then you need to know the ID of each newsletter (via the database and not via the AcyMailing back-end)

This is not needed if you ask me, and you are overcomplicating things here

If you have newsletter in two languages, and you are looking the newsletter in online view, if you change the language of the website, AcyMailing will show newsletter in the language of the website

I execute what the client wants to offer. And the goal is to add a button with a link in the newsletter that refers to the other language. So, I still have my question: How is the read online url created? I would think it is something like:
/en/component/acym/archive/id-alias. THanks for feedback on that matter.

_"if you change the language of the website, AcyMailing will show newsletter in the language of the website"_

This doesn't seem to be working, because the id-alias is in the url, so simply changing the language, does not work.

The email (campaign) is a global object containing the main data of the campaign:

sending type: normal, scheduled, auto...
extra parameters depending on the sending type
state: draft, active...
is sent
ID of the campaign that you can see in the listing or in the URL when you edit

The real email that is linked to this campaign is different. As there can be several emails linked to a campaign (automatic campaign generating emails regularly, an email per language in case multilingual is enabled...)
Each of these emails has its own ID and this is the one used in the view online link

Anyway, the solution is:

edit the language A version of the newsletter
add a view online link (dynamic text)
copy the generated link
(remove the link if he doesn’t want it)
edit the language B version of the newsletter
paste the link to the language A version
