Hey guys, does anyone know if there is a way that on a certain date a product can disapear and then come back later automatically?

Possible to enter a product today,
and not have it show until, say this weekend or next month.
Extra coding would be required to switch off/on automatically.

Thats for that.
I've got aprobloem with my email though, when i send a 'newsletter' it doesnt sent the images that i've placed in. do you have any ideas?

Sorry, cannot help you with this one..suggest you ask
at main zencart forums

That's probably a server issue as opposed to an issue with Zen itself. When you say the emails are blank, do you mean completely blank with missing text, or just the images are blank?

Images are blank. i tried typingabove them and that came up. its a doozy

Can you send me a copy of your newsletter? Just put my name in front of the domain of this site to form the email address.

If I can see the source code of what it is actually sending, it might give me a clue to what is happening.

Thanks [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']Lawrence, I will send you a copy.[/font]
[FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']I was sending it through the newsletter function (tools>newsletter), but i tried it through 'Send Email' and it worked, so i'm not sure what it was about, but should i do it this way now?[/font]

The email you sent me was plain text instead of HTML. That is the problem.

Go to admin/configuration/E-mail Options

Make sure "Use MIME HTML When Sending Emails" is set to TRUE

Also set "Email Admin Format?" to HTML

Hopefully that will fix the problem.

That would make sense, however they are set to that, both HTML.
I tried the forum on the zen-cart site, and i found that if you send to the admin, which i was doing, it wont send in HTML (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56507) strange. but its working good now..

That's an odd quirk. Glad you got it sorted in the end.
