Module Buttons

Are they impossible to make dynamic?

It seems weird that I can load a module, make images and text dynamic but all the buttons seem to be impossible to make dynamic.

This seems like a pretty big flaw!!! If I can make all the other elements in a module dynamic, why not the button? Seems kind of critical to me...

Is it the email design/html, a Marketo oversight, or am I just wrong and there is a way to do it (other than dragging in a text module and inserting my own html)?

Thanks for any input.

    Dynamic content. So if I bring in a module (like two or three column) if I can make the image and text dynamic, it would seem logical that I could make the button dynamic as well but I can't.

    What is the simple code change because that is exactly what I want? I would be happy to read and do it myself (teach a man to fish) if you can point me in the right direction. Pretty new to the module functionality.

    Thanks!


    You would want to surround the body area of the module with a mktoText <div>:

    May depend on how you built the module and container.

    I didn't actually build it though. It seems like every template built into Marketo (I've tried several now), and they all seem to be the same where the button cannot be made dynamic. For me anyway, this makes the module approach not very useful.

    Do you mean dynamic content? Or are you just asking if you can customize the color, border, label, etc.?

    Buttons can be made dynamic but a lot of the button modules in our starter templates don't do that out-of-the-box. Very simply to change the code structure to support it, if you really would like that functionality.
