Placeholder images

Greetings!

Is there a way to add a placeholder image in an HTML email template?

Basically folks in my department want to be able to swap out images in my email template.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes and no...

If you hard code the image into the HTML Template, then a regular user working off of that Template will not be able to make a change...unless you make that area a mktEditable section.

You can also hard code a mktEditable table section there instead with the dimensions you want the image to be. Then just make sure the other users know that any images inserted there need to be a certain WxH.

Look up the email template instructions which will have a bit more detail on this.

If you tried to do this with a Landing Page Template, then definitely not; that image is hard coded in the background.

Hi there, as Josh said, the best practice for doing this is to create a black image of the same size as the final image. be sure that in your email that the image is wrapped in a div tag with the class 'mktEditable', then you'll have the space blocked by a black image that will have to be changed for each time the template is used.
