Import from external URL into Body

federatier · May 2013

in create.php just add this after line 163

<div class="input-append">
                          <input type="text" class="input-xlarge" id="import-uri" name="import-uri" placeholder="HTML para Importar"> <a id="import-now" href="#" class="btn" id="import_html">Importar HTML</a>
                          <script>
                          $("#import-now").click(function() {
                            var uri = $('#import-uri').val();
                            $.post('import-html.php', { uri: uri },function(data) {
                                              $('#html').html(data);
                                              alert(data);
                                            });
                                            return false;
                                        });
                          </script>
                        </div>

and then create a file called import-html.php and write this in it

<?php $url = $_POST['uri']; $curl = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); $output = curl_exec($curl); echo $output; curl_close($curl) ?>

it's a quick way to add an "import from other site" field so you don't have to copy the source if you have a template generator

I was just looking for this! Thank you for this.
But you're using $('#html').html(data);. That didn't work for me. I changed $('#html').html(data); to $('#html').val(data);. That works much better!

Hopefully this will be included in the next update!

Hi, I'm trying to get this to work, but it doesnt appear to update the code in the editor, just get a big alert with the code in which I hit OK but it doesnt update - here's how I have it:

  <div class="control-group">
                                                <div class="controls">
                                              &gt;textarea class="input-xlarge" id="html" name="html" rows="10" placeholder="Email content"></textarea>
                                            </div>
                                        </div>

<div class="input-append">
                          &gt;input type="text" class="input-xlarge" id="import-uri" name="import-uri" placeholder="HTML Import"> <a id="import-now" href="#" class="btn" id="import_html">Import HTML</a>
                          <script>
                          $("#import-now").click(function() {
                            var uri = $('#import-uri').val();
                            $.post('import-html.php', { uri: uri },function(data) {
                                              $.post('#html').html(data);
                                              alert("got it);
                                            });
                                            return false;
                                        });
                          </script>
                        </div>

the line counts are not the same as in your example - and I cant figure out how to get the code to display properly using markdown. Sorry!

Hi,
Did you solve this issue? I have the same problem, and I need to import code from a external url.

Any suggestion? Other way to solve this?

thanks

I am trying this code on Sendy Version 2.1.2.5 and it seems to work, but it doesn't work as expected.

When I click the "Importar HTML" button, it waits a few moments and then a pop-up modal window shows the HTML code from the URL. I then manually copy and paste that into the HTML Code window and send my message.

However, I expect it to work like this:
1) Add the URL and click submit, and the HTML Code window will be automatically be populated with the HTML. This means the copy/paste is unnecessary.

2) I want to schedule sends to send every day. And every day they should grab the latest content from a particular URL. I wanted this script to do that, but it doesn't do it... anyone know of a method to handle this in Sendy?
