Mailing give "X" where the images should be

4/26/2011 6:11 am | #1 werecat321138

I followed all the steps, created the mailing and then sent the test message to myself to preview and all I get are "X's where the images should be. I looked on the server and compared the file locations and everthing appears fine. The same is true for the template background. Nothing shows up at all.

When I preview the mailing from within the application everything shows fine. Where is the disconnect? I tried sending to gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc and they all show "X's where the images should be.

This is what I get when I do a view source from Outlook:

Thank you to anyone who can help. I wish there was more documentation. I hate the thought of paying for support for something that's probably easy to fix.

Your problem is the backslashes. I don't have PowerMessenger so I don't know where the image data is coming from. if you are adding image information via mysql, it is likely you need to strip slashes when reading the data back.

This looks like it is probably a MagicQuotesGPC problem. See if you can get that setting turned off... it is a deprecated setting that really shouldn't be used any more (although we will look into this problem as a bug and try to get it resolved).

security.magicquotes.php

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

We looked into this in a connect meeting... It will occur if you have magic_quotes_gpc enabled on the server. The solution is to either turn off that setting, or account for it by an update the file:

webassist/email/waue_spamReports_1.php

update line 40 from:

$MailBody = $MailBody . $_POST['content'];

to:

$MailBody = $MailBody . (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? stripslashes($_POST['content']) : ($_POST['content']);

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

I tried this solve (updating the waue_spamReports_1.php file) with no success. Not sure if magicquotes IS my problem, but the Email, when received, looks nothing like the templates.

Any other possible solution to get the Emails to look like the templates when sent? Thanks!
