Hi!

This should work so it feels like something is going wrong? Do you see any errors in tracelogs och the umbraco log?

Does the email render correctly?

[name] and [email] should be replaced by the name and the email of the subscrber. This same placeholders is also used for the built in unsubsubscribe-feature.

Yep. Got a bunch of these

Hi!

This should not matter for the process of rendering the email. Do you see anything in the logs when you send out a message? (send to a small test list)

Hi marcus,

Nothing more in the logs. It did some testing, and [email] is rendered correctly in the newsletter, but when it´s used in a link it does´nt.

And that used to work in previous versions.

Hi!

Hmm... so what is the [email]-placeholder replaced by when it is used as a link? Just empty? 

We use this placeholde for the internal information and we encrypt the email to be used in querystrings etc. If you would like to use the link as you describe you can always implement your own render task and use another placeholder ie. [email-plaintext] and then use a render task to replace this with the accual email.

Thx that worked

Great news =D

Just keep me posted if you have any other questions or issues.

Cheers! 

I'm having this same problem:

I want to use the [email] task in a link, but the render task doesn't replace the [email] tag for the user email. It displays: href="http:www.domain.com/link/email=[email]".

We really need this bug to be fixed. We want to send the client straight to a cancelation page, without them having to fill a form with their email.

This should work without any problems. 

Goncalo,

Do the following

Create a new class:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using NewsletterStudio.Services;
using NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks;

namespace myNamespace
{
   class NewsletterEmailRenderTask : RenderTask
   {
       public override void ProcessPreRender(RenderResult renderResult, RenderTaskParameters parameters)
       {            

        }

        public override void ProcessPreview(RenderResult renderResult, RenderTaskParameters parameters)

        {

            renderResult.MessageBody = renderResult.MessageBody.Replace("[email-plaintext]", "[email protected]");

        }

        public override void ProcessUniqItem(RenderResult renderResult, RenderTaskUniqItemParameters parameters)

        {

            renderResult.MessageBody = renderResult.MessageBody.Replace(System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode("[email-plaintext]"), parameters.EmailTrackingItem.Email);

            base.ProcessUniqItem(renderResult, parameters);

        }

    }

}

Create the following in node <emailRenderingTasks> newsletterstudio.config

<task name="NewsletterEmailRenderTask" type="myNamespace.NewsletterEmailRenderTask, myNamespace" />

Hi Gonçalo!

How do you mean that it don't repalce the [email]-placeholder? That should work if your setup is correct.

Do you see any errors in the log or the trace log?

How does the <renderTasks>-section of your newsletterstudio.config.file look? Do you have  all tasks configured? 

The <renderTasks> looks like:

   <emailRenderingTasks>
      <clear />
      <task name="AddTrackingPixelRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.AddTrackingPixelRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="FitIntoTemplateRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.FitIntoTemplateRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="RenderUrlRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.RenderUrlRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="ReplaceUnsubscribeRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.ReplaceUnsubscribeRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="ReadOnlineRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.ReadOnlineRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="ReplaceLocalLinksRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.ReplaceLocalLinksRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="AddFullDomainToRelativeSrcsRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.AddFullDomainToRelativeSrcsRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="ReplaceRelativeLinksRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.ReplaceRelativeLinksRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="GoogleAnalyticsRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.GoogleAnalyticsRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="AddClickTagsRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.AddClickTagsRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
      <task name="ReplaceUniqMergeFieldsRenderTask" type="NewsletterStudio.Services.RenderTasks.Tasks.ReplaceUniqMergeFieldsRenderTask, NewsletterStudio" />
   </emailRenderingTasks>

Hi! 

I see! Your configuration looks fine.

But does all the core features of Newslette Studio work except for the custom link that you have included?

Looks like the solution that Keld provided is your way forward. 

/ m 

Yes.

It works in the body of the email, but it doesn't work for the "href".

Hi! 

Great the [email] placeholder is used in another way inside the hrefs so if you follow the guide from Keld you'll be fine =D

/ m 

is working on a reply...
