Sending a message with customized pictures

You can see here how we use the Opt1 column to store each picture name.

For the message we select the Styled Text format and we write our message using the Opt1 tag. We embed it into some special HTML code as part of the picture URL. Note that this same code would work with the HMTL format but not with the Plain Text format.

This is our HTML code decomposed. It is made of a simple line using the standard img src tag to refer a picture followed by the server URL, the image path and finally the Opt1 tag. The Opt1 tag will be replaced by the data in the Opt1 column so for Adam Johnson the HTML code would be:

<img src="http://www.maxprog.com/img/cat.jpg">

And that code insert the remote picture http://www.maxprog.com/img/cat.jpg into the message!

If you select the Preview panel you will see how the message will look like for each of your recipients. Just click on the left or right arrows to go thru your list and check every recipient. This is what the recipients of your message will see.

In case you also need to link the picture to a web site use this code instead:

<a href="URL_HERE"><img src="PICTURE_URL_HERE" border="0"></a>

Example:

<a href="http://www.maxprog.com"><img src="http://www.maxprog.com/img/cat.jpg" border="0"></a>

Any questions?
