Need 3 or more images in a row

[naturalresources]

Hi,

I'm acknowledging supporter by having their logo in our email. I need to be able to place 3  or more images side by side in the desktop view in the 3rd gen. Having only two per row makes the email too long visually AND long emails sometimes get clipped in gmail. 

Please advice!!  

P.S.  Not loving the limitations and missing features in the 3rd Gen (for example accessing HTML). It seems really dumbed down. More advanced users are losing the ability to truly customize their email campaigns.

Hi, While the 3 column block is great for desktop view, it does seem to break up in the mobile view - what can I do about that?

Thanks! Marisha

Hello @PatriciaF378,

Thank you for contacting us today.  The columns in the 3G editor are designed to stack on top of each other to maximize readability on a mobile device.  In this case, to keep all three images together regardless of format, you would need to place all three images in a single image.  I will absolutely pass along feedback to the appropriate teams on this!

This is a partial solution. The 5 column drag and drop still creates five distinct columns. If the images are small they are spaced too far apart.

You need to incorporate a solution that allows one to place as many smaller images, side-by-side, centered, in one block (without creating columns for each image).

It's great that you're builder creates emails that are responsive but having multiple (small) images centered in one block isn't counter intuitive to that, the images would just naturally rap if the container width is forced narrower.

If there's presently a workaround for this I'd like to know, but it doesn't look like that's the case.

I only have the three image option on my account.

Hello @ErinJ81,

The five image option will be under Build and then Layouts on the left hand side when creating your email. The block with five image placement options will look like five links in a row next to each other. Click on this helpful article for a visual representation. Thanks!

Is this available in Canada? I created a new email campaign and cannot see the 5 image template in my selection.

There's a layout block with 5 slots that you can insert text, drag and attach image blocks to, and link up as needed.

Hi Caitlin,

I'm creating a newsletter but I can't find the 5 pictures feature even on a new template.

Could you recommend me a template where this feature is available?

Thank you

Hello @RMFACC ,

The 5-column layout (and 4 column technically once you delete one of them) will display as 5 hyperlink icons:

Even though it initially displays with text/ hyperlink placeholders, with the columns now setup you can drag over other basic blocks to add to those columns, such as image blocks. Make sure to check out our article on multi-column layout blocks for more info on adding, arranging, and managing these block types.

Hello William_D,

Thank very much for your reply. Unfortunately, I was asking about the 5 pictures feature @Caitlin_M was talking about. The hyperlink option doesn't allow us to add pictures in the block. 

Let me know if you have a solution to find the % picture column option.

Thank you,

Emma

Hi @RMFACC ,

The image in Caitlin's post is from the old 3ge builder. The image I provided is how it will appear in the CPE builder, and when you add that layout block, you can drag over image blocks to place in those slots that the hyperlinks take up.

You could use in-line css in the Advanced Editor to place your 3 pics anywhere you want them. Or you could put it in the header and use it in a template.

You can access the full html in the Advanced Editor. I write ALL my own code and only use the advanced editor. It's not dumb-down at all. I use the newest html and css tags and it works beautifully. I haven't tried javascripts yet, but am toying with the idea of adding some in. I'll let you know if that works.

That 5 photo build template is gone!! No!!!!

[HillsboroParksandRecreation]

What happened to the five column layout? It is no longer available. 

[Caitlin_M]

Hello @HillsboroParksandRecreation and @MikeC0650. It looks like you were using a cross-platform editor that is still having features added to it. While there isn't a specific five photo layout available, you can use the Navigation Bar layout and drag an image block above each column to create a multiple photo layout.
