Hi everyone,

I had a request today to to add WYSIWYG support to the transactional emails section under “System” > “Transactional Emails”.

It appears that it is pretty simple.
1. Add the Fonits WYSIWYG Editor Extension (free) – http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/fontis-wysiwyg-editor.html
2. Add the transactional emails text editor Text Area CSS ID value in “System” > “Configuration” > “Admin” > WYSIWYG Editor – the value is template_text
3. Save the config

You should how have WYSIWYG editing ability in transactional emails.

NOTE: You can also watch this Video for this info – http://vimeo.com/4316043

Does it work for you?

Mike

What about the Magento variables? {{var …}}

They are not visible (only in source view) and will be deleted easily by editing the text (because you won’t see the {{}} in the editor view.
