Hi Maurice,

No, there isn't a built in way to handle that. If you can give me an example of the situation where you would need this, we can try to find a solution.

Thanks.

yes we build email templates for email browsers like outlook.

customers can add product banners at the footer and this they can change cause we don't send the image its linked to the cms but if the image name changes than the link is gone and whe have to make a new template.

but i think we are to fast with our ideas hahahaha for cmsb.

Hi Jason,

As maurice already mentioned; we (also) build HTML email stationery for our clients. Within this stationery we place an image (like a kind of "banner") with a URL behind it. When people click on the "banner" the visitor will go to a website.

This is not that difficult, we can upload new banners with ftp and overwrite the old one.

Now we would like to give our clients the opportunity to upload the new banner by them self with CMS Builder. So we need a upload plugin where we can add a (special) upload field to a section and determine that only one file can be uploaded and that the filename is always the same (it will overwrite the existing image).

Can you please provide me with a quote for this? It would really help us to extend our services.

Thank you

Hi Jason,

This wil not work for us, the HTML stationery that we create will be used in emailclients like outlook etc. The HTML file is located on the local machine of the user (for outlook: c:\program files\common files\microsoft share\stationery)

I will send the question to the emailaddress
