Is it possible to get the notification email to include copy and paste friendly html code?
I've had some luck with this type of format (but with form fields included for link and link text)...
link text
The issue with this way is that if I need to edit the form and resave, it goes back to a normal html link and formats and displays as a web link in emails.
Is there a certain gravity form code I should be adding?
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. Can you clarify or provide screenshots or a screencast (try http://www.screenr.com/) of what you are talking about?
I can send screenshot if you still need, but I'll try to explain better first. Basically I want a copy and paste friendly html code, similar to blog carnival emails.
So this...
{submitter name} presents <a href="{post url}" >{post title}</a>.
Would show in the notification email as this text/code...
Tom presents <a href="http://example.com" >Example Title</a>.
Not...
Tom presents Example Title.
So I just need a way to force the code to actually show up in the sent email, not the result of formatted code.
You would need to send a plain text email to do this. By default your email client is going to render that HTML because it will recognize it as such and therefore render it. You'd have to force the email to send as plain text. Currently this isn't an option, but it is something we plan on adding in a future release. What are you doing where you need the HTML to be copy-n-pastable?
Trying to create a submit page for all the personal finance sites that have had issues with Blog Carnival lately... about half of the usual submitters seem to be blocked.
What I tried to show in my first message was that I've had success with this format...
{Submitter name:9} presents &,lt;,a href="{Post URL:1}"&,gt;{Post Title:2}&,lt;/a&,gt; (remove the commas after the &s, was the only way I could display it)
... as long as I save it and don't edit the form again. If I do, I need to repaste this same line over the regular html line.
