Our site has around15-20 different e-mails (all dynamically generated) that
are triggered off based on different user actions, such as registration,
unsubscribing etc. All the e-mails on our site are being sent out using one
single template, i.e. the template is called using cfmodule with an
attribute identifying the type of email, and any other attributes that may
be required. A sample call may look like this :
<cfmodule template="mailingtemplate.cfm" mailtype="FirstReg" cnd_id="#cnd_id#">
The template mailingtemplate.cfm looks like this :
<cfset mailtype="#attributes.mailtype#">
<cfif mailtype is "NewCand">
<!--- Dynamically generate email and send it out--->
<cfelseif mailtype is "FirstReg">
<!--- Dynamically generate email and send it out--->
<cfelseif mailtype is "NewApply">
<!--- Dynamically generate email and send it out--->
<cfelseif mailtype is "NewCandAdmin">
<!--- Dynamically generate email and send it out--->
----- and so on ---
</cfif>
This template may have about 15-20 else if conditions. Would there be any
improvement in performance if we were to use <cfswitch> <cfcase> instead ?
The template would then then look like this:
<CFSWITCH mailtype="#attributes.mailtype#">
<CFCASE VALUE="NewCand">
<!--- Dynamically generate email and send it out--->
</CFCASE>
<CFCASE VALUE="FirstReg">
<!--- Dynamically generate email and send it out--->
</CFCASE>
-- and so on --
<CFDEFAULTCASE>
<!--- Do nothing --->
</CFDEFAULTCASE>
</CFSWITCH>
