Getting Post Image In Notification Email

    Hello,

    I am wondering if there is a way I can include a specific image or content from a custom field of a post in a notification email.

    Also can I include a background image in a notification email? I notice the editor keeps stripping the image out of my code.

    I found this tutorial and was able to make it work for my first issue. http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamically-populate-advanced-custom-field-instead-of-a-normal-custom-field

    Still wondering why it wont let me add a background image to the html email. I know some email providers wont get read it.

    What code are you using in the HTML e-mail notification to add a background image?

    ('<table bgcolor="#8F6B47" background="http://massimo.andresthegiant.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/mainbg1.jpg" cellpadding="20" width="100%" height="100%" ><tr><td>')

    Like that

    Was there ever an answer to the background image issue in notification emails? It's stripping my code too.

    Can you try single quotes instead of double quotes in your html to see if that works?

    <table bgcolor='#fff;'>

    instead of

    <table bgcolor="#fff">

    And see if it still strips it out?

    I've done it both ways and it ditches my code. Here is what I am doing:

    <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF" background="http://hammond-associates.com/wordpress1/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Logo.jpg">

    or

    <td bgcolor='#FFFFFF' background='http://hammond-associates.com/wordpress1/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Logo.jpg'>

    It keeps the bgcolor code with no problem either way. With the background image, it doesn't matter if I use single or double quotes ... when I switch between HTML and Visual view, it dumps it.

    Thanks for your help!

    If you just keep it on HTML view, add it in, and save, does it strip it out still? Visual view might not allow the background to stay, hence why it is stripping it out.

    It does. I'm going to finish the rest of the code for the notification email and post it to PasteBin or wherever for you to see. I'll get that up later. Have a good evening!

    Great, that would be helpful, and give me time to find out why it might strip that out.

    I got it. The key is to not toggle between visual and html so you keep your code. To get the background in the body of the email, I did this:

    <body style="background-image:url(http://hammond-associates.com/wordpress1/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/HA_Background_25.jpg)">

    And closed it at the end. Thanks for your help.

    Yeah, I was wondering about the visual editor stripping code. Glad you got it sorted.
