Constant Contact html email site

Anyone had any experience with http://www.constantcontact.com ?
My problem is this:
I create about 5 or 6 html emailers a month for a client and ALL images are stored in individual folders on their server because they are named slice_1, slice_2, slice_3 etc. Plus its easier to manage should they have the necessity to change a slice which contains a price or something which is easily amended.
I have another similar client who use constantcontact.com. It appears that in constantcontact you can't create folders to store your images???.......they just give you a single image library. Obviously the naming convention slice_1, slice_2 etc won't work as presumably the old image will be overwritten if I upload another one with the same name.
Anyone else had this issue. I don't want to have to give each image an individual name because it will be a nightmare to manage. I really need the facility to contain different html email images in seperate folders. Maybe there is an option in constantcontact but I'm not seeing it?
Thanks
Oz
P.S. I guess the other option would be to house the folder/images on the clients web server and just send the html through constantcontact. Its my clients choice of html emailer handler so I can't switch to an alternative.

All images I use in my newsletters are stored on my webserver. I just put them in with a full path url <img src=www.mydomail.com/newsletter/2012/may-2012/images/myimage.jpg width="600" height="124" alt="my image" />
You will need access to the webserver.
I store everything in the newsletter folder as I am a real stickler for directory structure. It works and I send out about 3,000 newsletters a month.

Jim, yes I could do that but prefer not to clog up my server with client images. I could always buy some dedicated server space for the client. Its no big deal just makes things a little more complex than it should do when trying to explain issues to the client.
I agree, I like to organise my html emails so they are in their own folder. Don't want to go raking around 100's of loose images just to find what belongs to what........that would be a slow process.

Constant Contact's HTML signup form not working in iWeb 3.3, only displays code

I'm trying to add an email signup form to my iWeb 3.3 website. I use Constant Contact for my email and event marketing and they provide the code to paste into one's HTML code (I can post the code if need be). When I use the HTML Snippet widget to do this, however, instead of getting the form I get messy bits and pieces of code not only in iWeb but in the published version of my website. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

@Old Toad - Check, I definitely pasted into the appropriate box.
@Wyodor - Tried your suggestion, but it resulted in nothing being displayed. I guess it's better than messy code being displayed, but still no good.
Here is the script I was given by Constant Contact:

Any ideas?

Firefox doesn't display text properly on pages created with email marketing tool (Constant Contact).

Pages that are built with Constant Contact email marketing application don't display correctly. Different sections of text, usually a paragraph or list group, are readable but "shaded out." This is happening on Mac and Windows platforms.
The pages are built using standard HTML tags and the problem doesn't appear with other browsers.

Can you post a link to one or more of such pages?
* "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Formatting icons not available for Constant Contact email templates - just blank images appear

Hello:
My Firefox 3.6 doesn't allow me to see the icons in aWeber or Constant Contact. These are icons that I need to see when formatting an email in a template. The same thing happens in aweber. Constant Contact says it is a Firefox problem. I do not have any add-ons added.
Thank you,
Susan

I use WordPress with TinyMCE modifications to make sure HTML code is written correctly. Emails are not coded the same way as web pages. Also, I use str_replace and preg_replace within the template to make sure the editor won't have any code that I do not want, for example I take <p align="center">...</p> and replace them with <center>...</center>, and some other modifications that I find fitting due to HTML Email code reqs. If you're not sure how to buffer, find and replace content in WordPress, you could also use a WordPress plugin - Real-Time Find and Replace I believe it's called. I just have many templates so I need custom replacing, this plugin does it for every page. I also installed one of the Multiple Blocks plugins that create multiple blocks within your Page/Post. With that you can create as many editable fields as you need. I send emails manually, but I came accross the code once that actually will allow you to submit your content within the same page, I dont have the link, I found it googling HTML emails and wordpress. You may also look into PHPList emailing software (free) in addition to this. You can plug the final HTML code your browser produces into there and then email it out using their emailing system, since you get more control over your lists and so on. If not I guess you could implement one of the custom fields in WordPress as a email list.

Adobe Muse html code and Constant Contact

Muse noobie question re: Adobe Muse html code and Constant Contact
We use Constant Contact for our email marketing. We prefer to generate our own html code and insert into Constant Contact. It has worked great for us in the past and bypasses and somewhat cumbserome Constant Contact interface.
We tried inserting html code from Muse and the results were surprising:
Any rectangles created were simply gone. Not showing. No colors, no outlines just gone.
Text formating was way off in size and fonts. Spacing issues too.
Page not centered. It looks centered in various browsers
Any suggestions please?

It's not going to work.
The HTML/CSS/JavaScript abilities and requirements for browsers are vastly different that those of e-mail clients. The output of Adobe Muse relies on external CSS files and JavaScript, both of which are not available in most e-mail clients.

Constant Contact email receipts

I use Constant Contact to send out association newsletters. I compose on their server using one of their templates and then send to a list. I'm on the list to verify that the newsletter was sent. When I receive the message it looks different then the template. The Constant Contact guys say that Mac Mail doesn't following the RFC conventions that other mail applications do and that accounts for the changes. They suggest using Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. The Apple Support guys say nothing can be done; try Thunderbird. Any suggestions? Perhaps the Mac Mail developers can address this for the next version since many users are migrating to email companies to comply with CAN SPAM requirements.

When I receive the message it looks different then the template.
Because they are not using web standards for creating those messages, as Mail does comply with the RFC specification, while various others do not.
Perhaps the Mac Mail developers can address this for the next version since many users are migrating to email companies to comply with CAN SPAM requirements.
What does CAN SPAM have to do with this? That's a law enacted by Congress which has no affect on the creation or rendering of email, whether it by plain text or HTML.

When I try to open a file from Constant Contact or other web sites it only allows me to save it not open it.

I used to be able to just open the files. I thought it was a constant contact problem but it works fine in Safari.

Hi oakcliff,
Thank you for your question. It could possibly be a saved Application preference for the file type or can be a preference for the site that was stored.
I would recommend to reset Firefox to restore the defaults for that preference and then try to open the attachment one more time. There will be an option to remember the preference if I remember correctly.
Please post back with your results, it can help other users.

How do you have a file automatically open in mail, like a Constant Contact email?

Thanks,

If there is a way to automatically open an attached file in a Mail item, it is not one that I would use, because I want to stay in control of my Mac! Who is it from, whats in it and so on... To me bad idea but then the choice is yours.

Emails from Constant Contact (or other Email marketing systems) not reaching BC Email Accounts

I have a few accounts that use Constant Contact to send out emails. Starting around August 5th, all accounts that receive email through the BC system have had these emails blocked coming form the Constant Contact serrvers. So email coming from Constant Contact is not reaching email accounts that are setup as hosting accounts through BC. For 4 years this all worked fine, but now all of a sudden it has stopped. BC or OpenSRS have not been able to resolve this issue It is very apparent that OpenSRS is blocking Constant Contact emails for no apparent reason. This also seems to coincide with the Blog posting from BC in early August regarding the DNS server attack
Is there anyone else that uses Constant Contact (or possibly other email marketing services) experiencing the same issue? If you fall into this category you may want to check into this.

FiOS IPS server suspected of blocking emails from Constant Contact

My homeowners assocation cannot get emails through to me at {edited for privacy}, but they do get emails through to my wife at {edited for privacy}. These emails are administered by Constant Contact, who suspect the FiOS servers of blocking emails to me. They suggest that I send you the following information:
To: Verizon ISP Customer Support
Subject: Remove Constant Contact Block
Hello. My name is {edited for privacy} and I understand that you employ filters and/or blacklists to protect customers like myself from unsolicited email; however, this might have made it impossible for me to receive certain information that I have solicited. I value these communications and would like to receive them using my AOL email address.
The sender of these emails uses an email marketing service called Constant Contact. Constant Contact is not an open relay and has strict anti-spam policies in place. Possibly because your filters block emails from Constant Contact I am unable to receive these communications.
I ask that you please help me determine why these emails are being blocked. For further information about Constant Contact or to request more information from them such as log files, the Operations team can be reached at - {edited for privacy}.
Mail from Constant Contact can be found by the following characteristics for whitelisting:
"Envelope from:" domains:
@in.constantcontact.com
@in.confirmedcc.com
Sending IPs:
All mail from Constant Contact is sent from:
IP Range: 208.75.123.0 - 208.75.123.255
Please contact me when this problem has been resolved at {edited for privacy}.

Creating Constant Contact emails and newsletters - show up small in Mail

I have been using Constant Contact for a few years to create emails for my clients, and whenever I send them to my Gmail or Hotmail (internet browser) email accounts, the emails appear normal and as intended. When I receive those emails via my Mail browser, however, the type is always too tiny to read, no matter how I change the settings in Constant Contact or Mail. What am I missing?
I've occasionally gotten other emails (from outside sources) that are also really small and impossible to read, and I'm thinking I must have missed a setting in Mail to get the text to the right size... but where?

still no answer...?

HTML email bug (with one company)

Constant Contact (service for many bulk emails for various individuals & companies)
their emails are coming in and only the left side of the page is viewable. it's really strange. so... just wanted to bring that bug to your attention.

Is this an HTML site your viewing in Safari? or is this using the Mail Application?
Both of which I am referring to as being on the iPhone. Might be some troubleshooting steps we can have you perform that could resolve the issue.

Cross Platform HTML Email Questions

Hi,
I am creating new html emails from within dreamweaver for use in a service like constant contact. The service I use is COMF5. They have a rudimentary (but nice) WSYIWYG editor so I am giving it a whirl in Dreamweaver.
I first made the mistake of creating a beautiful file in CSS, pasted it in the editor and found divs and info floating all over the place.
I just found an article by an adobe pro on doing this and ZOMG, what a huge help. Here is what I think I underatand and my question:
1. Everything is tables, inclding the background which is created at 98%.
2. The body is to be nested tables.
3. Attributes are to be defined within the table by use of the property bar and not to include creating css rules.
4. The one exception is inline styles created within the boundaries of the table.
5. Important rule is to not have CSS sitting at top of code in document.
My big question at present is, how can I code links to be other than blue and underlined? I would use CSS to do that on my pages.
Thanks ain advance for further insight!

I'll second what Joey said. Everything inline with email clients. They are too unreliable, especially with Outlook. Constant Contact though can be a pain in that you can't just add links to the email if you want them to be tracked. Search their documentation for the "SimpleURLProperty" tag that they use. If you do not include this, and the code they leave for you in the code view when you import your own code, none of their tracking features will work. And this goes for images as well as text links. Lots of conditions when sending through Constant Contact if tracking is a key. One of the key reasons I have used other services for awhile now.

Constant contact or mailchimp work with iweb?

has anyone used Constant Contact or Mailchimp with an iweb site?

The only way iWeb is involved with these services is the website contact form. Copy their code for this and paste it into an HTML Snippet.
These services offer a lot more than a basic form service since they have...

HTML eMail no longer works after change from 8100 to 8310

Hello all,
I have a Pearl 8100, which I upgraded successfully to version 4.5. Then I could receive and read HTML eMail, very nice.
Now I got a Curve 8310 which I also upgraded to 4.5 supporting HTML eMail. In BIS I changed the PIN and IMEI numbers and the new device was registered.
Now when I set eMail format to HTML and receive an HTML eMail, it only shows some lines (in nice new HTML) or even nothing and a hint, that more data is available with the number of bytes left. If I select the "More" option on the device, a transfer of data starts, showing that the Curve receives more data. Then the More-Data-Hint shows that only still one byte more is available, but the message still looks the same, showing only the first lines or even nothing. Repeating getting more data does not help. Seems the device has some problem parsing the data.
What I already tried:
- Hard reset of the device
- Delete all service books
- Resend service books from BIS
- Enable/Disable HTML mail on device
None of them helped.
Network is German Vodafone. Both devices (Pearl and Curve) run Vodafone software.
By the way: If I switch to text mode, I can see the whole message, but of course unformatted in the old format. Switching back to HTML again shows only part of the message or nothing.
Does anyone have an idea what happened? Or who can I ask? There is no support hotline for private people on blackberry site.
Thanks in advance.
Joerg.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't delete the whole account, just the BIS email accounts.
In this order, After deleting them, also delete the service books on your BB.
Reboot the BB, (battery out, replace and reboot).
Look and confirm the SBs are gone.
Now, reset up the email accounts in the BIS, and send the SBs again if needed.
You should get new registration messages on the BB... and you might need to do a battery bpull reboot again.
This process, in this order, will assure you get the NEW service books, rather than just writing over old ones.
