Description
This is just an idea at the moment, but under Email Templates we could add a section called: Email Layouts
Email Layouts would be well designed HTML structure files containing a header/footer with colors and logo, etc.. and the Email Template content would go inside a content area. I'm thinking of something similar to Campaign Monitor in terms of template designs.
Initially, we could ship without any existing designs but allow the following functionality:
- Create new Email templates. Paste in HTML, must include a tag for inserting the email template. When creating a template, you give it a name, and enter the HTML content, and we verify that the content contains the tag that we insert the email template into.
- Each email template would get an option to select an Email Template. By default, we should either allow no email template to be selected, or ship with a "Default" email template that either has no HTML besides the tag, or has a basic design we decide to ship with.
Note also, Signatures are appended at the end of an email and when people hack together an html email now the signature ends up in a strange place. Double check that signatures are working properly. Maybe we need to add a signature tag within email templates to determine where they are inserted?
