Oooh I like the sound of that - very inventive.
So your HTML templates work very much like views with data passed into them via the ViewCollection? --- James Allen E: [email protected] Blog: http://jamesallen.name Twitter: @CFJamesAllen (Coldfusion / Web development) Twitter: @jamesallenuk (General) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis Clark Sent: 03 August 2009 16:27 To: [email protected] Subject: [Model-Glue] Re: sending emails from MG. I took a similar approach with HTML templates, but instead of rolling my own template processing I had my "controller" code create its own ViewCollection and ViewRenderer instances using the internal Model-Glue CFCs. I know this is an undocumented and unsupported use of those CFCs but using them saved me a lot of time up front, and even if a future update of MG broke the code I can't imagine it would be too difficult to fix. -- Dennis On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 12:27 PM, James Allen <[email protected]> wrote: I use HTML templates that do sit within my views folder but they are read in via my EmailService (inside the email bean) and then sent out that way. I like this as it means anyone could edit the templates (I use placeholders for replaceable content). Also keeps them nicely located. I recently had to send them all to a colleague who needed to make text changes but is not technical at all. Works well. --- James Allen E: [email protected] Blog: http://jamesallen.name Twitter: @CFJamesAllen (Coldfusion / Web development) Twitter: @jamesallenuk (General) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sir Rawlins Sent: 01 August 2009 16:03 To: model-glue Subject: [Model-Glue] sending emails from MG. Hello Guys, I wanted to get your opinions on how you distribute emails from within your MG apps. I'm sure I remember reading a thread a while back about how some people consider an email a 'view' and so would render the HTML as a view, this I guess was called from the model using an cfhttp call or something? and then distributed. I myself have always just used a cfsavecontent tag in the model which saves the HTML into a variable, this is then passed to a mailerservice which contains all my POP/SMTP settings and this actually does the job of sending the email. I wanted to see what others were doing as for me having the HTML mixed in the model always felt a little messy to me. Cheers guys, appreciate your thoughts.
