It might also pay to create a clone of the current view object - that
way you can use all the pre-existing helpers, template paths, etc but
ensure you start from a 'clean slate' (in terms of template variables)
before you populate your email. It will also ensure you can continue
to send output to the browser, if you wish, without having already
modified your view object.
E.g.
function sendmessageController()
{
$view = clone $this->view;
$view->clearVars();
...populate view...
$htmlBody = $view->render();
...continue to send your mail...
}
Something like:
function emailAction() {
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->setParam('noViewRenderer',true);
$body = $this->view->render("email/email.phtml");
//and then you have your content in $body, and then just send
//the email as you normally do
}

Hi all:
Just been wondering if there is a way to render a view for an html
email that is not used in the display. I'm currently using Smarty as
template engine integrated in the view. Now I would like to send out
html emails using templates but rendering them with the data the same
way I would do for displaying in the browser.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Gunter
