Hello All,

I want to send the email to the user. I have created format template (Email Template) in the First script Client. Now I want to send the mail in Module, So I have used JavaMail API for the email sending purpose. Is it possible to run the format template from Module and get the generated HTML content ??

Thank You,

Vasanth

I suggest you use a script instead of a format template. Then you set the script type to "template" and put

#!firstspirit

in the first line of the source.

Here is a complete example:

#!firstspirit
$CMS_VALUE(a) + $CMS_VALUE(a)$ = $CMS_VALUE(a + a)$

Then your code should look like this:

TemplateSet ts = ....;
Script script = ....;
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("a", 21);
String result = script.getExecutable(ts).execute(params).toString();

With the above code "result" should then contain "21 + 21 = 42".

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your reply.

But in my case the scenario is different Peter. For example, i have to include the image from the Media store so i have to use the CMS_REF tag. So i need to execute format template and get the resultant HTML code alone. I have already checked the API but i couldn't find it. Please let me know is there any way to do this.

Thank You,

Vasanth.

I'm afraid that this is not possible. Of course you could call your format template via $CMS_RENDER in the solution sketched above, but this will not work because you cannot provide the correct context.

I suggest that you create a schedule entry where 1st) a "one page generation" task is performed and 2nd) the generated html file is sent as mail body from a script task.

You could execute this schedule entry from your script, providing parameters like receiver etc.
