[Zope-dev] Easy DTML question -- ha, ha!!!!!

Thu, 18 Nov 1999 08:58:04 -0600

This works. It is in use now where I work to automatically notify users when
there are orders that need their attention.

_______dtml method: AutoMail_________________
<dtml-sendmail mailhost="WorkMailHost">
To: <dtml-var m_to>
From: <dtml-var m_from>
Subject: <dtml-var m_subj>

<dtml-var m_body>

</dtml-sendmail>
_______________________________

___test dtml document that calls the AutoMail method_________

<p>
This is the  Document.

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('m_to','user@work.com')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('m_from','automailer@work.com')">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('m_subj','Order Notification')">
<dtml-let tmpbod="''ND office submitted new order.' + _.chr(10)+_.chr(10)"

tmpbod="tmpbod+'https://machine.work.com/Orders/EOrder?order_id=ND124900'"
               tmpbod="tmpbod+_.chr(10)+_.chr(10)+'**This is an auto
generated notice. NO REPLY IS NEEDED**'">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('m_body',tmpbod)">
</dtml-let>
<dtml-call AutoMail>
