Mosaico is a JavaScript library (or maybe a single page application) supporting the editing of email templates. The great thing is that Mosaico itself does not define what you can edit or what styles you can change: this is defined by the template. This makes Mosaico very flexible.
This Backend implementation of Mosaico comes with the latest version of Codeigniter and Codeigniter Ion Auth 2. Moreover, I've also integrated an Email Queue System for sending bulk Email. The library is just an extension to Codeigniter's built-in Email Class, therefore it can be omitted from the project, if desired, in which case, you must remove line number 423 and send_pending_emails method from the Email_templates Controller.
Live Demo
Live Demo is available at http://mosaicoci.ar27111994.com/. Login Username is admin@admin.com and Password is password.
Server Requirements
PHP version 5.6 or newer is recommended.
It should work on 5.3.7 as well, but we strongly advise you NOT to run such old versions of PHP, because of potential security and performance issues, as well as missing features.
Install and Enable Imagick PHP Extension (to be used in Mosaico Image Placeholders), PHP Cli and exec() (to be used in Email Queue System).
Installation
Please make sure that your server fulfills the above mentioned Requirements, then see the installation section of the CodeIgniter User Guide.
Then import database from mosaico_ci.sql file.
Plus, You need NodeJS v6.0 or higher + ImageMagick
this may raise warnings about Knockout, ignore them. It will probably fail on some colorpicker dependency, just run it again and will work:
npm install
if you don't have it, install grunt-cli globally
npm install -g grunt-cli
Run an incremental build and livereload (Note: It will run the Node.js Backend server, therefore terminate its execution after the build is complete (it will display Running "watch" task on the CLI after build is complete).
grunt
IMPORTANT in order to use image uploading/processing feature in Node you need imageMagick installed in your environment. e.g. running "convert" and "identify" on the command line should output imageMagick command line help (if you are on Windows and install imageMagick 7.x then make sure to install "legacy utilities").
If you create your own template you can generate the needed "thumbnails"/"block thumbnails" by running:
grunt makeThumbs:main:yourtemplatename
NOTE we have reports that default Ubuntu node package have issues with building Mosaico via Grunt. If you see a Fatal error: watch ENOSPC then have a look at voidlabs/mosaico#82
