Just purchased Koble. Three questions:

1) Wondering if it’s possible to change the dimensions of the logo image used in the header areas (the image that defaults to different representations of “Koble.” (In this case, I’m using the opaque header layout shown at the top of the “Menu 14” template, but I’m using the module contained within the “All-in-One” template. For example, I want to replace it with my logo and I know I can click on Change and upload it, but I need to change the default 79×13 size. I know it can be edited somewhere, because your main Menu 14 template shows the logo image as 110×28, but the section within the All-In-One template shows it as 79×13. Or can it only be changed within the exported HTML?

2) Also, in this case, there’s an opaque overlay rectangle where it and the header logo float over a background image. I’m assuming that if I change the logo size, I’ll have to increase the size of that opaque overlay rectangle, and I need to know how to quickly change this if possible.

3) For cases where the background image will not display (like in Outlook), where can I specify the background color that is used instead? Or do I have to separately code it into the HTML after it’s exported? Would be nice to be able to preview it when editing modules within StampReady.

Hi, Thanks for the questions.

1) Due to the Campaign Monitor require to specifying width attribute in every editable image or else the export file will unable to import into CM. You can edit the default image width in the code at IMG tag.(screenshot) In this case, the default logo image size in a Main-14 header and All-in-one are difference because I try to reduce All-in-one.zip file size by remove unnecessary image file to be repeated by replacing with the logo image from another Main template.

First, the code structure of content area is 600px with 470px for menu/slogan text on the right and 130px for logo (470+130=600) to keep each table align in the container correctly. The padding, margin and table width for the logo were not set to any specific size in order to have logo expanding, but due to the (1) as I mentioned. If you’re not a Campaign Monitor user. I would recommend to removing a width attribute from IMG tag so it can be expanded accordingly to your actual image size.

You can either modify code before or after import into StampReady, But if you do before import SR require to re-zip with the complete file set (index.html, images, and thumbnails folder).

hope that helps :)

Thanks and yes, that’s all good info. I figured I’d have to re-zip if I did it before. I ended up just changing it afterwards within Constant Contact to 450 and 150 width respectively from the default 130-470 widths and it worked out fine. If I do these with the larger header logo regularly, I’ll just create my own custom all-in-one set with the different widths. Only problem I had show up on the destination was the background image in the top section was repeating on large screens, but I haven’t troubleshooted that yet. If it’s still occurring later, I’ll create a separate thread for it. Thanks for the help – looking forward to working with the template set more over time.

You’re welcome, That correct you can modify and calculate a table to any size as long as it still in the 600px container.

Regarding the background header image. If you refer to the Gmail client, that because Gmail doesn’t support CSS background-size yet.(more info) If you’re viewing a large screen. I recommend using a bigger image, but keep in mind the smaller screen size will only see a portion of the image if it too big(yes, it won’t resize in Gmail) and it also increases the loading time of your subscriber.(recommended this service to reducing image file size). The default background dimension that I use is 1500px width and at least 600 height.

ps. don’t forget to rate the template if you like it, thank you very much :)

hi!

Is compatible with mailjet??

Thx

and then from where I customize my html code?

Sorry, which one do you mean? MyMail or StampReady?
you can select at each panel in StampReady

and MyMail

ok.. thx

There is not an all-in-one option for mailchimp like you show in your demos. When will that be included in the files?

All-in-one template requires using a StampReady builder to export to use with MailChimp. A template with too many repeatable modules mostly crashes the MailChimp builder when imported.

here a demo video how to import to SR and export to use with MailChimp. You can freely use StampReady builder to modify and export as you saw in the demo.

Thanks for the quick reply and the solution. Appreciate it!

You’re welcome :) don’t forget to rate the template too, thank you

Hello

to create custom template as I can figure out the colors of each block ??

http://screencast.com/t/lXtDdnwE Thank you

ah!! ok thx!!!

Hello,

I’m having trouble customizing the template in MyMail … nobody will remedy ?? It is impossible to work.

Should be specified in the product description is Compatible with MyMail. but you can not customize … as I do ??

thanks

Sorry, what do you mean by customizing as you do? how do you customize? the template able add/remove module customize and save in MyMail normally as the plugin provides functionality for a template. As you may know, the template is just a static HTML code for a visual design, not a functional programing.

This commonly knows by most of the MyMail user with no problems so far.

please provide more info and sending to nutzumi@gmail.com

Neither the demo location or the DoublePixels site is working right now, returning a server error.

Thanks for reporting, please visit this site and send me your IP address to nutzumi@gmail.com I’ll try to contact my hosting provider to fix the problem asap.

Now fixed. Thanks nutzumi!

Awesome! thanks for the heads up!

Can you please clarify what you mean by haing 200+ unique modules? from what I see on the demo, there’s just a handfull of modules. It’s pretty much limited to what each newsletter template haves…

Hi, there is a All-in-one template 1 and 2 divided by normal layout and container layout. At this moment version 2.0.1

All-in-one 1 has 150 modules and All-in-one 2 has 41 modules. Combine with 9 notification template(21 module in total) 150+41+21=212.

Each template style has their own design style. 200+ unique modules is countinng from all templates. Doesn’t mean each template has 200 modules.(if it was, it should be 5,600 modules in total at least) :)

Using Koble 2.0.1 with MyMail for Newsletter – Is there a limit to the number of items I can put in the Newsletter? I can no longer add any, nor can I delete a module now. How many modules can I add to the newsletter?

Hi, I’m not sure about the limitation of how many module can be included in a single campaign, I suggest to contact directly at MyMail support for more info about their plugin limitation.

However, I would recommend not to many because most of the email client will cut off the email when it to long(They will use a link “click to view the more” and open in the webversion).

I followed all the instructions on how to edit in stampready and then import to mailchiimp + also saw your video for another one of your templates

However when I import my template from stampready into mailchimp the formatting gets spoiled see the ppt in the link for some examples of how the formatting is spoilt. what should i do??

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fr8bibxb0jf3g2s/formatting%20spoiled%20when%20importing%20to%20mailchimp.pptx?dl=0

I see, thanks for the screenshots. That because the image was bigger than the default image dimension. If you want to achieve a retina image result by using a bigger image. You have to add a specify the width and height attribute in the img tags as well.

However, I didn’t add these attribute to image tag by default to avoid images distortion when a user using the difference image size from the default image.

Recommend to using the same width/height dimensions for the module that has more than 1 images for a better result when stacking in a responsive view.

hope that help :)

so i added in height attributes. However, before I did and even now, I am having a different problem. When I import into mailchimp, only a small part of the newsletter imports into mailchimp (I follow the steps from the video and in your instructions).

Secondly when I send out a test email, the images don’t come through in the test email.

I’ve added two more slides to the presentation above: see slides 6 onwards https://www.dropbox.com/s/fr8bibxb0jf3g2s/formatting%20spoiled%20when%20importing%20to%20mailchimp.pptx?dl=0

I assume you send a test in the Campaign builder mode at a design stage. All modules are included repeatable function in MailChimp. You need to add your repeatable module once you at this stage to align your layout. The first module will appear by default for this function to duplicate and switch to other module layout that you were chosen from SR. demo video

here more info about the repeatable function in MailChimp.

*you see the full template in Template editor mode after import to MC because a mc:repeatable is not working in this mode.

Most of the email client are blocking image by default. If you view the test in Outlook client, That because Outlook is not supported background image in every version. That why I have a background color changing option for the header in SR so a user can choose any color that suits their newsletter when a background image is not supported.

HEEY, we need Automatic Recent Post Sender With MyMail

Do you can make it upgrade?

Hi, what do you mean by automatic recent post sender? I’m not sure I understand you correctly but as a template I only able to specify template editable area and make it compatible with the plugin, anything with the plugin function you may try contact directly at MyMail support.

If you refer to auto pull content from a post. It already implements to the template.

I’m sorry. Ignore this.

Done :)

Have a nice day!

Awesome! thank you very much! Have a great weekend, cheers :)

Stampready import not working with new update

Ok I see, my bad I renamed the zip file to All-in-one-1.zip but forgot to rename the folder inside too. So the easy fix is just to rename the folder inside that zip file from All-in-one to All-in-one-1 or try to redownload the template package again I just updated the file.

I apologize for inconvenient.

Thank you, working perfect. Have a nice day

Awesome! thanks for the heads up. don’t forget to rate the template too. thank you :)

have a great day, cheers

Hello, is there any estimate of when the background image work in Outlook 2106 for example?

thank you!

Hi, at this moment to make background image work in Outlook is to manually implement this fix and change background link at the code(VML). As I test, it not a 100% reliable sometimes it breaks a layout. That’s why I’m not implementing to the template yet. I’ll update the template as soon as I found the another reliable workaround, or we may have to wait for Outlook to support BG image instead.

Thanks for interesting :)

Hi, I’m trying to export from Stampready to use the assembled email in Mailchimp. Followed your video step by step, but in Mailchimp, whatever I do, the sections are mangled up. The header is correct, but then there are several sections (modules) from the middle of my Stampready assembly showing up as footer in Mailchimp which means I cannot change them, nor adjust them. This isdriving me crazy. I tried all possible options: export with files and without, tried to import html, zip and even copy pasted code, but no chance of getting this to work. I really hate sending the mail through Stampready, so I need to be able to export it properly to mailchimp. Please give me some hints about possible solutions.

Hi, can you send me the files you exported to nutzumi@gmail.com I would like to check what it like, or any screenshot would be please. thank you.

Thnx for solving this. I sent you the files and you responded in minutes! Hopefully future exports-imports won’t trigger the mc tag errors anymore. Great support, highly appreciated.

You’re welcome, don’t forget to rate my template at your download section too. Thank you :)

Hello

I am trying to update to the new version 2.0 but, I am getting some errors:

Warning: ZipArchive::open() expects parameter 1 to be a valid path, object given in /home/xxxxxxxx/www/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 625

When I try create a new campain with version 1.9.6, I have the error below:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type DOMNodeList as array in /home/xxxxxxxx/www/wp-content/plugins/myMail/classes/template.class.php on line 376

Could you help me ?

Thanks

Lopes

Hi Lopoes,

Please try contact MyMail support regarding this error. This’s an error with php file in WP. I can’t fix at my end. I just tried import and it still works normally to me.

However, I’m not sure how you update but the best way is to remove the old version and import a new one, or you can try using a purchased code to import directly to MyMail from more template menu. hope that helps.

Hello there, will this work with Marketo? Can I export the HTML and use it in Marketo?

Hi, this’s actually the first time I know about Marketo. I’ve looked through their site, but can’t find a register or demo to test on.

However, if the Marketo able to paste in an HTML code when composing. That should work fine with the template because I already provide regular HTML in the package, also StampReady builder able to export HTML file while keep all image hosting online too.

Thank you nutzumi, I am going to purchase your template.

Hi,

The template is not showing properly. No idea what’s going on.

Top is seen in the gmail, bottom is seen in WordPress.

Icons and images are missing / stretched. Please come back asap. Thanks.

Hi, please provide more info which email service do you use?(I assume you using MyMail right?) which template file? normally images a block by default in every email client. You have to click show images in the email client to show an image. Also try checking an image URL in your host too, because if the image not visible after sending it should be something wrong during the sending process. If the HTML template is broken it shouldn’t be seen any image in the first place before sending.

Moreover, Gmail doesn’t support style for a background image that why image being repeat or stretched, the lower screenshot if it from MyMail plugin that because it view directly in a browser, not actually through the email client.

Hi,

I was using MyMail and tested both Sendgrid and Mandrill. However if I test sending using Mailchimp itself with the template, it’s looking fine.

Any idea what’s breaking the ones sent from MyMail?

Thanks.

Not sure what cause that yet, have you tried with another template? I just test sending with MyMail it works normally to me.

here the video when I’m testing

My best guess is there might be something wrong with your image host when you sending. However, a sending process or plugin error are beyond my HTML knowledge. I would recommend to try contact MyMail support for further investigation.

And make sure your Gmail doesn’t set to block all image.

Hello! as I can keep the color of a block for use in other templates ??

http://screencast.com/t/qRyVPScrG Thank you

Hi that’s a good idea but as far as I know MyMail doesn’t have a save color function yet, instead you can save what you do as a new template after modified. And next time you want to use the same color style, just selects from your saved template :)

the problem is that it does not add MyMail templates as modules. if you change your template you change jobs ..

Not sure I understand you correctly if you check at “include original modules from “TemplateName” the new template will keep all module from the original template as well.

However, the question is regarding a MyMail feature function. I can’t add any extra function to the plugin by a template code. It requires a plugin creator to add/improve the function. I do recommend to contact directly at MyMail author and request as a new feature. I only able to do what they provided because in the end what I’m selling is just a template that compatible to their plugin not my plugin :) sorry, hope you understand.

Hello, As I can figure out the color ?? http://screencast.com/t/jijbX1CXWH

Thank you

Hi, sorry MyMail is auto detect color code from template code and put in the side panel. We can’t specify, name or control over this plugin automation by template code.

Hi,

I’ve imported the template into Mailchimp and we’ve sent a few emails using it, which all look great – there is just one small thing i was hoping you could help me with, when the email comes through there is a text preview underneath the subject (this is in the preview before you open your email) and it shows a url (http://club.us8.list-manage.com/track/click? etc) which is just a bit untidy.

As we’re a daily deals company, i was hoping for this to be part of some text from the first deal etc, is this something you could help with?

Thanks

Sure, I do understand that you refer to a Preheader text that shown after email subject. First, this required to edit directly at the code because it will hide in your actual content and only display in the inbox.

here try paste this code snippets in the code after the open body tag

<div style="display:none;font-size:1px;color:#FFFFFF;line-height:1px;font-family:'Open Sans';max-height:0px;max-width:0px;opacity:0;overflow:hidden;mso-hide:all;">
    THIS IS A PREHEADER TEXT
  </div>

note : not all client that support preheader text and there’s a difference character limit display on each clients. learn more hope that helps, don’t forget to rate the template too, thank you :)

I just bought the template and does not work, I can not install … gives me license error. what should I do?

Thank you

Hi, please provide more info. Which email service provider do you use? how you import? which file do you using?
