Embed images in template

Did you read the README.txt?

Images with absolute URL will be available as remote content. To embed images into emails you have to use a relative URL or an internal path.

For example:
instead of http://www.mysite.com/sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg
use /home/www/public_html/drupal/sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg
or /sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg

This is a huge misunderstanding. You can embed images only in the body of the message, not in the template files. Let's clear this up in the README.txt file.

Well, this issue can be either a feature request or a task to update the documentation with this information.

I have just tested this and it is working with both branches. If the path is a correct relative path the image will be embedded in the message.

Confirmed #10 - embedding of an image inside the template file does indeed work. Do not put the leading slash ahead of the asset hanging off the base_path.

<div id="mimemail-header">
  <img src="themes/garland/logo.png" alt="Logo Goes Here" id="logo" />
</div>

Glad that this works!

When you use a private filesystem in D6 you cannot embed images from your theme folder (such as the logo). To achieve this copy the logo to somewhere inside your private file path, so the mime mail access check allow embedding. I used

<img src="<?php print base_path(); ?>sites/default/files/theme/logo.png" alt="logo" />

Setting the privilege 'send arbitrary files' did not work either because the simplenews module I use sends messages as the anonymous user (thus the access check fails or I should allow this privilege for the anon user)

Modified my code so that it reflected code not image.

#12 worked for me in D6.

Does this work only with images in files folder like "sites/default/files/mypicture.jpg"? Cos i havent been able to embed image using my theme directory like "sites/all/themes/mytheme/images/logo2.png".

In mytheme/mimemail-message.tpl.php I have

<img  src="<?php echo "sites/default/files/isotipo.gif"; ?>">
<img  src="<?php echo "sites/all/themes/mythme/images/isotipo.gif"; ?>">
<img  src="<?php echo file_stream_wrapper_get_instance_by_uri('public://')->realpath()."/isotipo.gif"; ?>">

when I'm logged as Administrator I receive a nice email with three images, but logged as some other registered user, email with no images at all

some idea how to get all user have images on email ?

I have the same problem using simplenews with D7 and mimemail 7.x-1.0-beta3
In my template, if I put :
<img src="<?php echo base_path()?>sites/all/themes/mytheme/img/newsletter/logo.png" alt="Logo" />
or
<img src="sites/all/themes/mytheme/img/newsletter/logo.png" alt="Logo" />

The images aren't displayed in the mail, even logged in as admin.

It works fine with mimemail 7.x-1.0-alpha2 :both images are showing in the mail.

I guess the problem is in _mimemail_file() (mimemail.inc) but I don't know how to solve it.

Please, any thought ?
Thanks in advance for your help

I've had the same problem, after investigating the issue, I came to line 190 in mimemail.inc

  if (isset($file) && (@is_file($file) || $content)) {
    $public_path = file_default_scheme() . '://';
    $no_access = !user_access('send arbitrary files');
    $not_in_public_path = strpos(drupal_realpath($file), drupal_realpath($public_path)) !== 0;
    if (@is_file($file) && $not_in_public_path && $no_access) {
      return $url;
    }

This piece of code only allows files from your public files folder.
So no theme images are possible in your mimemail-message.tpl.php.

Strange enough, this is only the case when I try sending with simplenews.
Other modules will send out the theme files just fine.

It actually worked for me using $GLOBALS['base_url'] (as anonymous user) :

<img src="<?php echo $GLOBALS['base_url']; ?>/sites/all/themes/my_theme/logo.png" />
