Customize your element template

By default, the items will be displayed like this in your newsletters:

If you don't like the way it is displayed, you can change the styles used for the item's title and the item's area by editing the styles in your AcyMailing template.

You can also modify the way your item is displayed by creating your own template which will override the plugin's output. Please follow those instructions, we don't recommend you to modify the plugin directly otherwise your changes will be overwritten when you update AcyMailing.

Create the custom template as explained here, on the created file you can access to the element $varFields that contains all the needed data.

You can display:

• The item's Id: {file_id}

• The item's name: {filetitle}

• The url of your item: {link}

• The download link: {linkdownload}

Using all those variables, you can create your own template, for example:

<div class="acymailing_content">
    <h2 class="acymailing_title">
        <a href="{link}" name="ezautos-{file_id}" target="_blank">{filetitle}</a>
    </h2>
    <img alt="" src="components/com_remository/images/file_icons/{file_icon}"/>
    {smalldesc}<br />
    {filedesc}<br />
    <a href="{linkdownload}">Click here to download</a>
</div>
