How to send an email to a predefined address
To send an email with several selected records on the List page, you need to create a custom button.
1. Proceed to the Page Designer screen.
2. Create an Update selected custom button and add the following code snippets into it:
Server tab:
dim body, data, rmail, ret
set rmail = CreateDictionary()
body=""
do while(bValue(doAssignmentByRef(data, button.getNextSelectedRecord())))
body=body & "OrderID: " & data("OrderID") & vbcrlf
body=body & "Customer: " & data("CustomerID") & vbcrlf
body=body & "Employee: " & data("EmployeeID") & vbcrlf & _
"-------------------" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf
loop
' send the email
rmail("to")="test@test.com"
rmail("subject")="Sample subject"
rmail("body")=body
set ret = runner_mail(rmail)
result("txt") = "Emails were sent."
' if error happened print a message on the web page
if not ret("mailed") then
errmsg = "Error happened: <br>"
errmsg = errmsg & "File: " & ret("source") & "<br>"
errmsg = errmsg & "Line: " & ret("number") & "<br>"
errmsg = errmsg & "Description: " & ret("description") & "<br>"
result("txt") = errmsg
end if
Client After tab:
var message = result["txt"];
ctrl.setMessage(message);
Note: The Client Before tab should be blank (delete sample code there if any).
Sample email message:
OrderID: 10249
Customer: TRADH
Employee: 6
-------------------
OrderID: 10251
Customer: VICTE
Employee: 3
-------------------
OrderID: 10253
Customer: HANAR
Employee: 3
-------------------
How to send an email to the currently authorized user
Instead of a hardcoded email address, you can send email to the current user.
1. The email address is used as the username
email=Session("UserID")
2. The email address is stored in an individual field
In this case, you need to save the email address to the session variable in the AfterSuccessfulLogin event:
Session("email")=data("email")
BeforeProcess event code:
email=Session("email")
