Re: Images in email campaigns
Ah, you can use Image Icon to upload image directly.

Re: Images in email campaigns
Yes .. Thanks.
 
But when i upload it, i need the url to be http://www.yourdomain.com/dbfile.axd?name=abc.gif.
 instead of
http://dbfile.axd/?name=abc.gif .
 
currently, it uploads as http://dbfile.axd/?name=abc.gif .
 
or
~dbfile.axd/?name=abc.gif

Re: Images in email campaigns
Yes, this is by design. By default it uses the special token ~ for the current site url. ~ will then be automatically replaced by the current url during the runtime. The reasons to use token are 1) it makes easier if you change domain/site name in the future and 2) it auto resolves to http or https depending the current connection.
 
You can change the default url to the absolute full URL in the URL textbox when using the Image Dialog.

But when i add the image, the relative url   , does not automatcially detect the full url, after i send the mail. In preview i cna see the image. But after i send my mail, when i view the source in mail(gmail) i get this as my absolute path
<pre id="line1"><span class="attribute-value">http://%7e/dbfile.axd?name=abc.jpg (which is </span><span class="attribute-value">http:///dbfile.axd?name=abc.jpg</span>) Have i got mixed up with a setting ? Thanks

Re: Images in email campaigns
Maybe this is a bug. Let me investigate this.
