[Catalyst] Catalyst::Plugin::Email, TT, html config problem
Hi,
** **
I can’t get SMTP email messages to use HTML encoding using
Catalyst::Plugin::Email and TT. The mails are being generated and contain
the html tags from the correct template and correct stashed data, but it’s
being displayed as plain text in the received email.
** **
It’s a simple logging application, allowing various distributed scripts to
log messages centrally. When an error message is logged I want to generate
a mail to the appropriate admin.
I'm assuming the content_type_set = 'text/html' line is wrong but can't
find what it should be.
Any help would be appriciated, code extracts etc. are below.
**
*App Config:*
use Catalyst qw/
-Debug
ConfigLoader
Static::Simple
AutoCRUD
Email
StackTrace
/;
** **
*Mail Code:*
…
$c-stash(add_log_line = $add_log_line,
template = 'log/add_general.tt');
$c-forward($c-view('HTML'));
$c-email(
header = [
From= 'b...@bob.com',
To = 'f...@bob.com',
Subject = 'An error has been reported'
],
body = $c-view('HTML')-render($c,'log/email_msg.tt'),
content_type_set = 'text/html'
);
** **
*Received Mail:*
!DOCTYPE
body
table
tr
thmsg_type/th
thmessage/th
thsource_hostname/th
…

Thanks,
Tadhg Daley

Hi Tadhg,
Shouldn't it be just:
content_type = 'text/html' ?

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst::Plugin::Email, TT, html config problem
Hello Thag,
I think plugin is the wrong approach here. Plugins seemed to be good idea
in the past, but now they are recommended only if you mess with the
internals.
I think the recommended think to send emails within Catalyst application is
either:
a) https://metacpan.org/module/Catalyst::View::Email or
https://metacpan.org/module/Catalyst::View::Email::Template
b) create a separe model, like shown here
http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/2012/07/extracting-a-reusable-catalyst-model.html
Cheers,
Dimitar

From: Dimitar Petrov Hello Thag, I think plugin is the wrong approach here. Plugins seemed to be good idea in the past, but now they are recommended only if you mess with the internals.

It can also work with job queues. The module from that article uses Mail::Builder::Simple which can be simply used with something like: use Mail::Builder::Simple; my $mail = Mail::Builder::Simple-new; $mail-send( from = 'm...@host.com', to = 'y...@yourhost.com', subject = 'The subject with UTF-8 chars', plaintext = Hello,\n\nHow are you?\n, ); Mail::Builder::Simple sets the MIME headers automaticly and also encodes the MIME headers and the HTML and text body of the messages to UTF-8. If you know that you'll never want to send email with a program outside the Catalyst app, you can use Mail::Builder::Simple easier by installing Catalyst::Helper::Model::Email and create a model for sending email with it, using something like: ./script/myapp_create.pl model MyMailer Email SMTP smtp.host.com usr passwd And then you can send email with it using something like: $c-model(MyMailer-send( from = 'm...@host.com', to = 'y...@yourhost.com', subject = 'The subject with UTF-8 chars', plaintext = Hello\n\nHow are you?\n\n, ); For more info: https://metacpan.org/module/Catalyst::Helper::Model::Email and https://metacpan.org/module/Mail::Builder::Simple Octavian ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
