Images can be replaced by our?
Hi Bankrotforum,
Thanks for your interest in Smartx Mail, yes all template’s placeholder images can be replaced by yours, also an elements PSD file is included where you can place your images instead of the default one (in case you want your images to have the phone and tablet frames used in layout #1).
Regards.
Hi! Fantastic design. Looking to purchase the template and I am a bit new to this.
Is this compatible with mailer-lite? and is builder bundled with the template?
Thanks.
Hi kayvow,
Thanks for your interest in Smartx Mail. According to mailerlite you can use your own HTML template so you can use any HTML email template, for the responsive templates like Smartx you just need to make sure that this service doesn’t remove a doctype declaration during sending process.
There is no template builder with this template but the code is well commented so it’s very easy to build your own layout (help documentation covers that).
Regards.
Hi
Why can’t I purchase it by PalPay now?
Simon
Hi simcao2013,
Thanks for your interest in Smartx Mail. You should be able to buy it with PayPal, if you will face any problems again please contact Envato support to get help.
Regards.
How do you add sections onto the template? It’s only allowing me the 3 that it comes with.
Hi Clay1103,
Please contact me via my profile contact with your purchase code of Smartx Mail (On the download page once you click on the download button you will be able to download the License certificate & purchase code).

Hello
First of all your template looks really good.
Secondly I got a newb question regarding template number 6.
“How to adjust the height on the header image?”
Regards, Michael
Hi mtrolle,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail.
You can just export the image from PSD file with the height you wish (you will need to change mask and slice height) and it should work fine.
Hope that helps. Regards.
It did somehow – but there is no .psd files for this one. It’s the Light Green one – number 6.
There are .psd files for all other colours. So what do I do? :))
It’s just a lot of images on this one – I tried resizing the Banner1 Image, but that didn’t help.
Thanks for the response.
Regards, Michael
Hi Michael,
You will find the PSD file for the banner and other general elements which are the same in all colors in the “PSD” folder which is located in the main folder (before you get to choose the color folders).
Regards.
SuperB! I was just a little confused, but it’s really nice working with even for total newbies like me. The mail looks so amazing now
Now I just got the last question: How do I send it?
Can I somehow send it through OutLook?
And can I easily upload an online version of it?
Thanks a lot for that nice work! :)) Have a great day.
Regards, Michael
Well online version was easily fixed But how to send it, with images and stuff.
Hi Michael,
It is not recommended to send it from Outlook. For best results it’s best to use professional email campaign services. You can start with a free account from mailchimp.com. In the help documentation file you will find steps of sending the template with Mailchimp.
Regards.
Well didn’t want to use MailChimp. But it seems to have been improved a bit. But thanks for your help it’s all working perfectly now
Best sales to you!
Awesome, glad everything works fine.
Hi, I would like to ask you for a support. I have a problem with diacritics. P.e. ?,?,á,?…(czech language). Is possible to fix it? Thank you Jay
Hi Jay,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, please send me the newsletter HTML to gifkynet {@} gmail.com and I’ll check it.
Regards.
The main 210×260 image is elongated in both iPhone and Androids email client.
Please help.
Hi mobileleasing,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail. Make sure that while editing the template you have kept proper class assigned for this image and style attribute with it’s content. If you are sure those are correct please send me the layout you are testing to gifkynet {@} gmail.com so I can trace the issue.
Regards.
Gifky, any idea if this template works on StrongMail? Would like to know before purchasing, thank you
Hi gibumkang,
Thanks for your interest in Smartx Mail, this template is pure HTML so it would work in any service/program which allows you to import your HTML, with one additional exception since the template is responsive the service you are using Must keep the doctype declaration in order for the template to remain responsive, otherwise it won’t be responsive on webkit browsers.
So if you are able to insert your own HTML code in StrongMail you just need to contact their support with the question if they strip out the doctype declaration or not, that will give you clear idea if the template will render as intended or not.
Regards.
Hi Gifky – awesome templates!
Do they need to be converted to inline CSS once content has been added and before sending?
Thanks!
Hi Brian,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, the template already has inline CSS so no need to inline it anymore, just add your content instead of the dummy content and it’s ready to be sent
Regards.
Couldn’t be any easier! Many thanks!
Enjoy using it
I just ran the blue version of Layout3.html (with no modifications) through W3C Mobile validator and it generated : 3 sever errors 3 medium errors 6 low errors.
Am I missing something, I certainly didn’t expect serve erros.
Hi cteager,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, those sever errors marked by the validator are not real errors but rather a needed default techniques to make an email template compatible with major email clients. If you want to check the template compatibility, you should use like Litmus or EmailOnAcid to see how it renders on different devices, validating the code itself or W3C Mobile validation has nothing to do with email rendering or compatibility.
Email templates are way different than web templates since most of email clients have outdated rendering engines and standards compared to modern web standards, if you check this link you will have an idea how outdated and different the level of HTML & CSS support in email.
Hope that clears it out.
Regards.
This template is awesome. Looks great on all devices. Thank you for your excellent customer service in making this work properly in Constant Contact! I will be downloading more of your beautiful email templates in the future! Thanks again
Thank you for your great feedback, enjoy using the template
Do you know if Constant Contact strips out the media query code? I can’t seem to get the responsive piece to work with them!
Hi AMGill,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, I got your email and will send you some detailed answer, the short answer for your question is the current editor in Constant Contact strips out the doctype declaration on sending (which is a bad practice!) that would cause a bug on webkit browsers so won’t be responsive as intended, the solution is to contact Constant Contact support asking them if they have any method to ensure the doctype isn’t stripped out when you send the email.
Regards.
Thank you. for your reply. I will ask Constant Contact and look forward to you replying to the email I sent you. Beautiful template. Just love it.
Just answered your email
Hello I’ve purchased this and customizing this email as well. However, responsive template works on browsers as intended. When emailed, it doesn’t work on any device properly.
All full width content scales properly, however the two column content remains two column without the second column going below top. What would you require to assist?
Hi prepriyadarshane,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, it’s possible that while you are customizing the template you either removed the proper classes or created a new table with two columns and you didn’t assign for those columns the proper classes so they are not acting responsive, just make sure those two columns have the proper classes like any of the two columns in the default layouts.
If you still can’t get it to work, just send the template to gifkynet {@} gmail.com and I’ll check it out.
Regards.
Thanks for your response. I emailed a test to your email. I’ve added proper classes.
Thanks!
It appears you have removed the doc type which leads to that issue, just copy it back and the template will work perfect.
Regards.
Hi,
For some reason the head tag is being removed by user client (i think). I am using sendgrid to process the emails. Problem is that all media queries are in header. Apperantly it will also remove style tags. How do I go about it or how can I debug where the head tag is being stripped.
For example I use putsmail.com to send myself test, and it is delivered on gmail with all html, so I am not sure what the hell is going on. Everywhere else on the internet they tell that it will absolutely be stripped.
Help?
Hi a13y,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, send the email directly from SendGrid to gifkynet {@} gmail.com and I’ll check what’s being stripped out.
Regards.
Thanks! this is a great template!...works great in all devices, just what we added caused issue.
Hi hessfirm,
Thanks for your feedback, glad the issue is fixed.
Regards.
trying to get the flyers to fully expand in iPhone…i guess it displays proportionately as it does in my Outlook…but in iPhone i’d like the flyer to expand fully for the screen vertically…right now the flyer comes in small so you have to expand…even when using <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0” /> [image removed]
Hi hessfirm,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, I expect that the email campaigns service you are using stripped the media queries along with the viewport meta tag, or during editing some changes made are effecting the layout structure, please send me the email directly from the service you are using to gifkynet {@} gmail.com so I can check it out.
Regards.
ok…please send any reply to anhdfailover {@} gmail.com or on this post
btw…i made adjustments that you are seeing to width in viewport…but neither that nor <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0” /> are accomplishing the goal. Thanks.
Just tested the template, the extra table added with id=”Table5” which has “This email was sent by” is causing that problem, it needs to have the width 100% not 600 pixels, if it’s added by Exacttarget and you can’t modify it just locate the media query: @media only screen and (max-width: 640px) and add to it’s content:
table[id=Table5] {width:100% !important;}
Also undo the changes you made to the viewport meta tag, that should fix this issue.
Regards.
Hi thank you for your response and apologies if my previous post sounded a bit hards.
We use proessional email campaigns service for this, can we send you the link to the “view this email in browser instead” from our campaigns software so you can possibly see the page and advice if it is being stripped out of the code? and where should we send the link to our campaign
Hi mv2g,
No problem, you can send me the link to gifkynet {@} gmail.com
Regards.
renders small, but repsonsive, thus making it even more unusable than if it was not responsive in the first place if no fix, i will appreciate a refund as theme does clearly not help with its responsive layout
I just answered you previous comment with what could be the issue and how to fix it, it’s totally not the template issue (here are couple screenshots done by Litmus how the email renders in iPad, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5).
Your assumption that the template appears zoomed out because of a responsiveness bug is wrong, media queries can’t effect the email negatively, it’s impossible on any mobile device running email app/client which doesn’t support media queries, the email scaling (zooming in) is handled by the app itself so that’s why you could see the email zoomed out, that’s how an app which doesn’t support media queries like Gmail would render any email template weather it’s responsive or not! and that’s how any mobile device would render a non responsive page by scaling it down to view all of it and you can zoom in to read it, the amount of zooming out or scaling is not handled by the template but it’s rather done by the app itself.
If you have doubts just remove the media queries (you can remove the whole css style block) send the email and it will display as a normal non responsive email.
Hopefully I was able to clarify that the template is fine and responsiveness is a plus and doesn’t lead to any zooming out issues.
Regards.
boug the theme, send couple of mails, still renders small on iphone and ipad mail, please fix, as it IS responsive true, but renders small (out zoomed) to be particular
please fix
Hi mv2g,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail, the email renders just perfect on iPhone and iPad, here are couple screenshots done by Litmus how the email renders in iPad, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5.
If the email renders small then the email service/program you are using to send the email strips the necessary CSS, the fix would be sending the email from email campaigns service like Mailchimp which won’t strip any code, or the issue is you are viewing the email in email client/app which doesn’t support responsiveness such as Gmail which doesn’t support media queries, so it zooms out the email to display it, if an email client/app doesn’t support media queries scaling the email to device dimensions is left for the app/device to handle it.
Regards.
Hi,
I’ve bought your template to use it as a basis for a newsletter but your fix for IE and Windows Phone 7 do not seem to work
All text content responds correctly to media queries but not the td elements in table class=”row” which keep their original size.
Could you please advise?
Thanks
Hi kemsei,
Thanks for purchasing Smartx Mail
- Make sure you have downloaded the latest version 1.1 (you will find the update section in the documentation otherwise you have the older version).
- From which email client you are sending the email? you need to make sure that the conditional comments targeting IE and Windows Phone are not stripped out while sending the email which is the case in the latest versions of Mozilla Thunderbird (using professional email campaign management service like Mailchimp or older version of Thunderbird should fix that issue).
If none of the above solves that issue, send me the email directly from the program you are using to gifkynet {@} gmail.com to trace that issue.
Regards.
Hi,
Thanks for the prompt answer. Actually I didn’t use a mail system yet, although I plan on using Mailchimp. I only tested the responsiveness by opening the HTML file with various browsers inclusing IE.
Oh and yes I do have v1.1
Hi kemsei,
Mailchimp is perfect for sending the email, as for the responsiveness the live preview is not yet updated so if you want to test the responsiveness on IE you need to open any layout from the downloaded version in IE9+ and re-size the browser screen.
Already planning an update today to improve the template on Outlook 2000 and fix small issue with Outlook 2013 then will update the live preview so it won’t be confusing.
Regards.
Thanks. That’s what I did. I checked back in your original template though and the fix indeed works. I must have done something wrong when changing the code.
Actually what I’m doing is using this template to make Delicious mail 2 responsive,since I bought both and prefer the other template. It works fine on all browsers but IE and windows phones…
That’s great that the original Smartx Mail code works fine
I actually have in mind creating Delicious Mail responsive version, but not sure yet when.
Maybe when you were editing the code you added some extra classes and didn’t include them in the code which targets IE (from line 83 just before the end of the head section)?
If you still can’t find what could be causing the problem send me the code and I will see if I can trace the problem.
Regards.
I indeed added new classes but I did add them to the IE code as well, so it’s not that either. I’ll keep looking (I’m quite stubborn) and if I don’t find a solution I’ll drop you an email
I did it! I simply had forgot to apply a max width of 100% to the shadows below each box.
Now I’m sure I’m starting to be boring, but would you have a fix for Firefox? Both your original template and mine have the same issue. In Firefox the media queries work but the content width is always larger than the browser’s window You should try to see what I mean.
Thanks again.
Glad you figured it out
As for the Media Queries they are fine everywhere just when you resize the window in Firefox make sure to stop exactly for the correct width which the Media Query is targeting, because Firefox calculates the vertical scrollbar width as part of the page width while other browsers don’t.
In general media queries in email design are intended for tablet and mobile devices only not for desktop, when you resize the window of Hotmail, Yahoo, etc… you won’t see any difference in the email but when it comes to tablets and mobiles that’s the real need because the template is adjusted for them.
Regards.
