method to Create an Email Template for Cash Crusader Scripts

You will need to know HTML or have a HTML web page creator such as Dreamweaver, or Microsoft FrontPage.

You must be logged into your Cash Crusader admin panel, click on Plug Ins, click on Advertisement Manager. While you are in the Advertisement Manager, click on Mailer Settings.

In Mailer Settings click as follows: No to send to inboxes only, Yes to allow HTML tags, Yes to Send to in actives, Character Set leave blank, Send to membership Types, tick all of them except suspended and advertiser, under the default shared email subject, name it anything you wish it to be and click “Save Settings”.

At the bottom of the Mail Settings is the Mail Header Sets. Click Create New Set. Name it whatever you wish like “Default” and click “Save Header/Footer Set”.

You have now created your first template, though it’s blank, this is where your HTML experience will come into play. Set aside that while you work on the email template.

Create a webpage, a full and complete webpage you would like to see as an email for your paid to read website. While you are working on your webpage/email template you also need to leave gaps from where the top of the email will stop, and the member’s ad will be inserted. Example “Name of PTR Paid Ad” right after that leave a gap. You will also need to leave a gap after the email has finished and the disclaimer and possible cheat link will go. You are basically creating a header and footer, just like how the Cash Crusader web pages work, so will this email template. The sections are named top and bottom sponsor but you can place anything in it you wish. Such as a greeting, banners, site logo, rules, tips and tricks. This is why I refer to it a full complete webpage. What you see as the webpage in your browser when you have finished, is what you are going to see in the email in Outlook Express. You can use CSS scroll bars or straight HTML.

With your completed webpage, you will need to view the HTML of what you created.

Back within your Cash Crusader admin panel, Mailer Settings, down to the Mail Header Sets, click on the default header you just created. Tick the box on the right, and scroll down and click “Edit Set”. Take the top half of the HTML and paste it into the Email Header section. Be sure the HTML stops right after you make the announcement note of the paid member’s ad. If you have a divider in your webpage you created, copy and paste that information into the Ads splitter section. In the Email Footer section, paste the rest of the email template you created. Confirm you have placed a divider at the top of that section as the Mailer script will not place one there automatically, it will only place dividers when needed, like between ads.

Click Save Header/Footer Set; make sure the email template you just created is marked as default. The next mailer sent out of your cash crusader site after you have completed these tasks will have your new email template.
