I have no issue styling the vouchers in HTML (this is already done in a view) my issue is how to capture that view and send it via email either as message or attachment.

Re: QRcodes. You can even generate QRcodes using Markmin, or, just use the Google Charts API directly. Search web for other solutions.

Situation is as follows:- I am generating tickets/coupons for users once they have entered all the appropriate info which I am doing via normal controller/view using html for styling. Coupon consists of 2 images plus some text (nothing really fancy at all). Everything looks okay and as it should in the view with all the correct information etc. I now what to email the coupon to the user. This is where I am a bit stumped. I am assuming that I will need to save the rendered view as an image/file/.pdf if I want the styling, logos, qrcodes etc to be in the email that I will send as well as for all the formatting to be as per the view. Is there any easy way or any way at all to do this? In the controller I can use the response.render(view, args) but still cant see how to create a pdf file from the actual view before sending the email. Hopefilly I ma missing something simple Thanks in advance -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
