Kentico Newletters... View Online

Taun Brown asked on March 3, 2014 15:02

I am looking for a what to have a "view online" added to my Kentico newsletters. I know I can use a dynamic newsletter to make a newsletter from a created page, but the issue there is that the source url has to be the same for every issue of the newsletter and that does work for us.

Is there a way to add a web part/widget or some code that will allow me to add a view online to a static or dynamic newsletter ? or is there a way to tell a Newsletter template to update the a url in the template without having to edit the template each time. I know products like Informz does this out of the box.

Thanks for the advice in advance

Hi,

The URL for the dynamic newsletter is the same all the time too. Could you please describe the issue in more details? It does not make much sense - how else would you like to edit the newsletter issue? You have to edit either the document (for dynamic newsletter) or the issue (for static newsletter).

This issue I am trying to work around is that currently our newsletter program makes a html online viewable document for each newsletter we make and adds a "view online" link to the mailing, with out having the need for someone to create a separate html page and then link to it after they make the newsletter.

This could be my limited understanding but if we wanted to use Dynamic newsletters with the source page having to be the same that would require them rebuild the source page for each newsletter and if they did that the view online link in any older mailings would no long link back to that "issue". Is this thinking correct?

With the regular newsletter the user would need to make the html page then create a new issue adding in the htlm link and then adding all the content to the issue.

I was just trying to find out if there was a more effective way to achieve the "view online" feature we have now with having to create the page and the newsletter each time.

Thanks again for your time and advice.

Hi,

in this case I am afraid but there is no such a functionality in Kentico. There is only the newsletter archive option for static newsletters where you can view older issues.
