MX Send E-mail Forum :: Set template when send page by email

Hi again

Just another thought.. I need to set a template for the page area being sent by email.
In the same way that you can on the insert/update trigger send email.

Is this poss?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm afraid this feature is not supported for "Send Page Section By E-mail" behaviour.

Hi

Can you point me in the direction of the correct files. i have worked on a number of your files to acheive the desired effect in the past but not started on this one.

It would certainly be very useful.. My example:

I have an extremely complex page where the content comes from multiple databases and tables to build the final confirmation screen, pdfs for an event manager. It just isn't possible to regenerate that code specifically for an email even though it is only some 900 lines of code. The client constantly makes changes to this section...

What i need to do is output the confirmation screen into a email and send the exact information to the client.

My solution at the moment is to have an intermediate page calling the final page, including the header and footer information then forwarding straght onto the final page.

Any thoughts on how to improve this?

Thanks
Gareth

Hello Gareth,

I think you can do this simpler. On the confirmation page, I presume you have a Submit button. You can select the whole content of the page and apply "Send Page Section By E-mail" behaviour.

Then, go into the code and change:

$sectemailObj->Execute();

to:

if (!empty($_POST['submit'])){
  $sectemailObj->Execute();
}

This will send all page content by e-mail when the page is confirmed (submitted).

I hope this helps.

Hi Inout

Your idea is sound but won't work for my problem i don't think.

The header and footer are different for the email and the website. The intermediate page is the email shown on the screen then it kicks them to the website with the navigation.

What would be useful is if on the final page (with the wrong header and footer) that the function you specified could have a different header and footer applied to it... but that comes back to a template...

Any Thoughts?
Thanks
Gareth

I am sorry but I don't have a better solution :(

Hi Ionu

Thanks for your response anyway. It seems to be working for the moment, I will re-address if the clients is unhappy.

Thanks
Gareth
