E-mail Templates

Hello, I have been creating some e-mail templates on the everyone site for use in an upcoming project! E-mail Templates are basically very simple html pages that can be pasted into an e-mail client that supports html and sent as an e-mail!

These templates are mainly intended for use in our Melon's Post Office Newsletter site!

If you would like to use these templates outside of the post office, I recommend using Thunderbird with the ThunderHTMLedit plugin!

Templates JSON
I have also created a json API that will allow future projects to link into the templates and import them. If you are happy with your template and would like it included in future projects, you can link it here too! (JSON is like a grammar for sending info to JavaScript programs - Just copy the code that's there and create a new line, you can use a json validator to check you didn't break anything)
E-mail Templates API: https://forum.melonland.net/pad.php?p=newsletter-templates.json

Examples
Here are my templates so far! (Some browsers will render them a text and others as webpages)

• Hearts - https://forum.melonland.net/pad.php?p=template-hearts.txt
• Paper - https://forum.melonland.net/pad.php?p=template-paper.txt
• CD - https://forum.melonland.net/pad.php?p=template-cd.txt

I would like to invite anyone interested to create their own templates or work on improving templates together! 
Its very easy, just create a new everyone site page with a .txt suffix to bypass the everyone site formatting; then code your e-mail template on that!
Feel free to post here if you have any cool e-mail templates!

Hellouu, I've just added myself to the newsletter system. Every day I am more happy about melonland     Very nice job.

I've made a barebones theme in case anybody wants to use it. It's on the Everyone site as "Salt bubbles.txt" I believe... other than that, not sure how it should go from there.

I was not able to find an everyone pad called "Salt bubbles.txt" - maybe you have a working link? (its a good idea not to use spaces in web-urls, also all everyone site pages are converted to lower-case I think!)

Anyway to make a custom template appear in the post office:

• Make your TXT page (you've already done this)
• Add it to the templates page (just copy one of the other blocks and modify it)

If everything worked it will show up as one of the template icons ^^

I got around it, but the stationery is invisible. If there's something I moved around by accident I apologize a lot. Looking forward to this :')


EDIT: WHEW it worked.
