The DotNetNuke Newsletter Sends an Email with Images and the Image Link is Broken
Issue
When you send an email from the DotNetNuke newsletter module that contains images, the images do not show up in the email.
Cause
The HTML editor uses relative URLs when linking to images. When sending emails, absolute URLs should be used.
Resolution
When the HTML editor inserts images, it generates the following HTML:
< img src="/Portals/0/SomeImage.jpg" />

- Log into your DNN site.
- Switch to the tab or page that includes the newsletter module.
- Click on the Edit icon to modify the module.
- Within the HTML editor of the newsletter module, switch into HTML mode and edit the HTML to include the domain name. It should look like this:
