Hi!

I have an extension which sends HTML emails to users and administrators of the portal.

I would like to make these emails customizable and be able to define content of these emails using Online Editor. I know how to fetch content of an attribute, put it into the email and send it out however I don't know how to transform content of an attribute edited with Online Editor into HTML.

Could someone point me to the right class that will do the job?

Try this:

{$node.data_map.YOUR_EDITOR_ATTRIBUTE.content.output.output_text}

In php you can use the methode which convert xml to html :

$converter = new eZXHTMLXMLOutput( your_xml_content, false, your_attribute);

$converter ->outputText();

You maybe can use it in custom operator template...

Or you can also create a template override to view the node containing the XML attribute. Then create a module view that would open the URL (fopen or curl) get the HTML and send it out. This will also allow you to have a URL for the link for "if you have trouble viewing this email, click here".
