Using your older templates
If you want to use templates created in Aurea List Manager 9.1 or earlier, you must export them.
Follow the steps below to view and convert your templates.
To view pre-9.2 templates
- Type the following URL into your browser:
<server name>/content/view_pre92templates.tml - You see a list of your templates and several commands for each one.
Viewing, Editing, Deleting, or Exporting Your Templates
To view a template
- Click the Test command for the template.
To edit a template
- Click the Edit command for the template. This takes you to the Edit Template page, where you can make changes in the following tabs:
- Essentials
- HTML Message
- Images (this tab does not work with pre-9.2 templates)
- Specify Editable Regions (this tab does not work with pre-9.2 templates)
- Text Message
- Advanced
- Internationalization
Note
The conversion program cannot correctly parse a template when surrounded by an HTML tag. Pre9.2 templates look something like this:
##line "clickable "##
If your template is in an <a href= HTML tag remove it.
If your code looks something like this:
<p><a href="%%track [subst {http://www.lyris.com}]%%">##line"clickable "##</a> </p>
Change it to:
<p><a href="%%track {http://www.lyris.com}%%"></a></p>
Deleting the template makes the href non-editable. You should be able to edit the template after you have
migrated your template.
When you save the template, you see the message: Warning: Your template does not include any editable regions; the entire message will be editable. Ignore this message. It simply means that in this pre-9.2 version of your template, there are no recognizable template fields.
To delete a template
- Click the Delete command for the template.
To export a template
- Click the Export command for the template.
- Select Save.
- Navigate to the folder you want and then save your template.
