I was wondering if there is an easier way to create your own layout for the newsletter. At the moment I can choose between "two columns", "three columns and sidebar" and "three columns and a sidebar + divider". I have customized these layouts before but that always involved hacking away at those existing layouts.
I think the ability to create your own layout file from the newsletter dashboard would make things so much easier.
These template list can be extended by adding new file to the "/umbraco/newsletterstudio/templates"-folder and adding them to the tempates-list found in "/config/tinyMceConfig.config".
So for those of you not bothering with reading the documentation or just skimming it (like me), there's your answer :)
Custom "predefined template content"
Hi markus,

Nevermind. Found this reading the documentation:

Great that you found the solution!

This does not seem to work for latest version 2.1.6. Also documentation on NS website is not current.
Hi Dimitris!
I just tested this on a local install of the package and it does work "on my machine"...
Do you get any errors? Do you see the templates that is shipped with the package or is the dropdown empty?
Hi Markus,
I am on umbraco 7.5.6 and NS 2.1.6.
I can see the default templates, but not the ones i copied over to the templates folder.
The NS package is installed in /App_plugins, not /umbraco.
Also, I cannot find a templates list in /Config/tinyMceConfig.config. I am not very familiar with tinyMce.

Hi!
I see!
You just need to drop the file in /app_plugins/newsletterstudio/templates/ and it will be shown in the UI.

Hi,
The problem was that the files had .htm extension. I renamed extension of files to .html and now they display correctly.
Thank you for your prompt response.
