We're trying to use subject lines in mailto links

mailto:another@website.com?subject=Airports Schedules

But ezpublish doesn't like it.

Is there a way to do it?

Use the following code at the top of your template to override the default subject:

{set-block scope=root variable=subject}Desired subject{/set-block}

Hi Sander,

Is this documented somewhere? Just curious, trying to learn more on eZ.

Thanks Robin

@Andy I'm assuming you are trying to do this with the online editor in a XML block? I get the following error:

Invalid e-mail address: 'another@website.com?subject=Airports%20Schedules'

If this is the same issue it this appears to be a bug (or at least an omission in functionality) - I'd suggest you post a bug at http://issues.ez.no/

@Robin what @Sander has detailed is how to set Subjects in templates that are used to generate emails in the system (information collectors). It's not a general setting but something that is specific to some modules.

There are some details here: http://www.ez.no/developer/articles/how_to_create_ez_publish_forms/form_template_creation_and_modification/(offset)/20

Cheers

You assume correctly bruce, I am trying to use the interface xml block (like my users would)

I'll raise this as an issue and hopefully it'll get fixed (if it hasn't already been addressed in 4.2)

Thanks :)

It seems like this still hasn't been fixed... Has anyone posted this as a bug on the bugtracker?

P.S. In the meantime this can be quickfixed by usng custom tags.
