I am currently trying to use the <cfx_imsmail> tag (custom tag available using
inFusion Mail Server) and I have a question which I hope can be easily answered.
I want to use the cfx_imsmail tag to replace a cfmail tag that uses a query
attribute. I am using the query and queryfield attributes to automatically
loop the same query. My problem is that while inside an attribute of the
cfx_imsmail tag, my <cfset> tags seem to be ignored. I want to put in place
some link tracking logic and also a <cfinclude> tag that calls a dynamic
template name. I have tried to set up this data in a token_emailbody
attribute, directly in the body attribute, and also directly in the html
attribute, but nothing seems to work for me.
a dumbed-down code snippet is attached below:
<cfx_imsmail
header_to="#myquery.to_email#"
header_from="#myquery.from_email#"
smtpfrom="#myquery.from_email#"
header_subject="#myquery.subject#"
failto="[email protected]"
parsetokens="yes"
renderplaintext="no"
log="yes"
priority="0"
query="myquery"
queryfield="to_email"
html="
<cfsilent>
<!--- tracking logic here --->
<cfset ...>
</cfsilent>
<!--- dynamic include here --->
<cfinclude template='...'>
<cfsilent>
<!--- extra cfinvoke where I am erroring --->
<cfset var.myvariable = 'blah blah' ) >
<cfinvoke component='my_component' method='do_this' >
<cfinvokeargument name='this_argument'
value='#var. myvariable#' />
</cfinvoke>
</cfsilent>
">
Please note that the data contained in the html attribute of the cfx_imsmail
tag in the above code example was taken directly from between the opening and
closing <cfmail> tags that I'm trying to replace. The cfmail tag works without
any problems at all times.
I keep getting an error on line 57 stating that a variable is undefined, even
though I have the variable being defined on line 54. This leads me to believe
that the <cfset> I am using is not being executed. Is there anything I can do
to get my <cfset> to behave properly while inside of the cfx_imsmail tag?
I have had success looping the cfx_imsmail tag for my query, replacing query
and queryfield attributes with the smtpto attribute, and using a cfsavecontent
tag before the cfx_imsmail tag to build the content for the html attribute. I
do not want to do it this way, as this is far less efficient than using the
query and queryfield attributes.
