TOPIC: Registrant messages without images

I couldn't find anything in the forum, so I thought I'd ask.

I'm using DT Register version 2.6.4d and JEvents 1.5.2 with Joomla 1.5 (in Legacy mode).

I am attempting to send images within the DT Register "Email Registrants" feature. The inserted images are visible within the backend editor; however, the registrant receives only the name of the image file and not the actual image. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Or, is this not something I can do with DT Register?

Sounds like your editor is loading the images relative instead of absolute, which is usually what you want... but this is a common issue when sending emails from Joomla using a WYSIWYG editor. The editor will give code for your image like

<img src="images/mypic.jpg">

It arrives in someone's email box and their email doesn't know where "images/mypic.jpg" is. It needs " www.yoursite.com/ " on the front. Your editor should have a setting for loading images relative or not. Contact support for your editor if needed to see what you need to do to get around that.

A "workaround" you can always do in cases like this: Load your image from a different domain than your site. That way your editor won't strip the domain from the image source code.

Hope that helps.

I also noticed this wan't working properly, and IMHO this should work since it's rather easy to get it to work.

Other components for Joomla like AcyMailing has this feature.

I am guessing they prepend the image src tag with whatever the baseUrl is set to in Joomla when an email message is processed and sent.

Am I right in guessing it could be implemented into DT Register aswell?
I mean, it should be rather easy, right?
