XHTML-Tags & EMails

Friday 29 April 2005 6:15:47 am

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to develop an extension that allows sending a specific node by plain email.
Everything works fine but some <i>distracting</i> XHTML-Tags occuring in the mail's body.

I'm using <b>attribute_view_gui</b> to show the node's attributes, so i can't use <b>wash</b>, which was my first thought. Specifying <b>view=plain</b> as parameter doesnt' show any difference either.

My current workaroung uses strip_tags() on php-Level of my module, but a solution using templates definitly would be prefered.

Has anyone done such a thing before and could provide me with a hint?

Thanks for any kind of help,

Pascal

Hi Xavier,

I'm trying to extend <b>tipafriend</b> to send all information available to the sent node, not only a link refering to it, so it'd be an extended tipafriend-solution.

The problem is, that I can't use plain templates with attribute_view_gui, sent mails always have the standart templates for all attributes, so especially with Textarea, all the paragraphs, html-entities and so are displayed in the mail's body.

Looking at the notification template, i tried the following code to select plain templates:

{attribute_view_gui view=plain attribute=$attribute}

Maybe it's just the <b>view</b>-parameter that should be changed?

Thanks,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

instead of using

{attribute_view_gui view=plain attribute=$attribute}

just use this:

{include uri=concat("design:content/datatype/view/plain/",$attribute.contentclass_attribute.data_type_string,".tpl") attribute=$attribute}
