Sending email using UE4 if Tick Box is Ticked

1/23/2012 5:39 pm | #1 Jon CunninghamBeta Tester

Hi Guys I have been struggling with this for a few hours now and though that some one may give me some advice on how to do this.

I have 1 Tick box that is a repeat selection and three individual tick boxes on my update page.

My aim is to have UE4 send a specific email when a specific tick box has been ticked and updated.

For example my Repeat Selection Tick boxes relates to individual modules that a student has passed. So when a student passes say module 1 and when I palce a tick in that tick box and click update, an email will be sent congratulating them on passing module 1 and so on for each moduled passed.

I would also like to have a specific email sent when ticks are placed in specific tick boxes.

I have attached a copy of my update page so that you can see my codeing of the page which may help in answering my question.

Many thanks in advance for your time in this matter.

this will take some custom coding to accomplish.

you will need to first add the universal email behavior for each possible email to send out.

then add a hidden form element next to the update button that will send how many checkboxes are present using the $RepeatSelectionCounter_1 variable for the value:

change:

php:

<input type="image" name="Update" id="Update" value="Update" alt="Update"  src="../WA_DataAssist/images/Slate/Traditional_update.gif"  />

to:

php:

<input name="totalChecks" type="hidden" id="totalChecks" value="<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" /><input type="image" name="Update" id="Update" value="Update" alt="Update"  src="../WA_DataAssist/images/Slate/Traditional_update.gif"  />

now add the following code at line 1:

php:

<?php

if (isset($_POST["Update_x"])) {

    $checked = array();

    for($i = 0; $i < $_POST["totalChecks"]; $i++) {

        if(isset($_POST["Modules_".$i]) && $_POST["Modules_".$i] != "") $checked[] = $_POST["Modules_".$i];

    }

}

?>

this will create an array containing the IDs if the boxes that where checked. you will need to add an if statement around each Universal Email code block added to the page so that it will only trigger if the appropriate checkbox was checked.

For example, the UE code block may look like this:

php:

<?php

if (!isset($_SESSION))session_start();

if ((isset($_POST["Update_x"])))     {

  //WA Universal Email object="mail"

  set_time_limit(0);

  $EmailRef = "waue_untitled53_1";

  $BurstSize = 200;

  $BurstTime = 1;

  $WaitTime = 1;

  $GoToPage = "";

  $RecipArray = array();

  $StartBurst = time();

  $LoopCount = 0;

  $TotalEmails = 0;

  $RecipIndex = 0;

  // build up recipients array

  $CurIndex = sizeof($RecipArray);

  $RecipArray[$CurIndex] = array();

  $RecipArray[$CurIndex ][] = "test@test.com";

  $TotalEmails += sizeof($RecipArray[$CurIndex]);

  $RealWait = ($WaitTime<0.25)?0.25:($WaitTime+0.1);

  $TimeTracker = Array();

  $TotalBursts = floor($TotalEmails/$BurstSize);

  $AfterBursts = $TotalEmails % $BurstSize;

  $TimeRemaining = ($TotalBursts * $BurstTime) + ($AfterBursts*$RealWait);

  if ($TimeRemaining < ($TotalEmails*$RealWait) )  {

    $TimeRemaining = $TotalEmails*$RealWait;

  }

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Total"] = $TotalEmails;

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Index"] = 0;

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Remaining"] = $TimeRemaining;

  while ($RecipIndex < sizeof($RecipArray))  {

    $EnteredValue = is_string($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0]);

    $CurIndex = 0;

    while (($EnteredValue && $CurIndex < sizeof($RecipArray[$RecipIndex])) || (!$EnteredValue && $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0])) {

      $starttime = microtime_float();

      if ($EnteredValue)  {

        $RecipientEmail = $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][$CurIndex];

      }  else  {

        $RecipientEmail = $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0][$RecipArray[$RecipIndex][2]];

      }

      $EmailsRemaining = ($TotalEmails- $LoopCount);

      $BurstsRemaining = ceil(($EmailsRemaining-$AfterBursts)/$BurstSize);

      $IntoBurst = ($EmailsRemaining-$AfterBursts) % $BurstSize;

      if ($AfterBursts<$EmailsRemaining) $IntoBurst = 0;

      $TimeRemaining = ($BurstsRemaining * $BurstTime * 60) + ((($AfterBursts<$EmailsRemaining)?$AfterBursts:$EmailsRemaining)*$RealWait) - (($AfterBursts>$EmailsRemaining)?0:($IntoBurst*$RealWait));

      if ($TimeRemaining < ($EmailsRemaining*$RealWait) )  {

        $TimeRemaining = $EmailsRemaining*$RealWait;

      }

      $CurIndex ++;

      $LoopCount ++;

      session_commit();

      session_start();

      $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Index"] = $LoopCount;

      $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Remaining"] = round($TimeRemaining);

      session_commit();

      wa_sleep($WaitTime);

      include("webassist/email/waue_untitled53_1.php");

      $endtime = microtime_float();

      $TimeTracker[] =$endtime - $starttime;

      $RealWait = array_sum($TimeTracker)/sizeof($TimeTracker);

      if ($LoopCount % $BurstSize == 0)  {

        $TimePassed = (time() - $StartBurst);

        if ($TimePassed < ($BurstTime*60))  {

          $WaitBurst = ($BurstTime*60) -$TimePassed;

          wa_sleep($WaitBurst);

        }

        else  {

          $TimeRemaining = ($TotalEmails- $LoopCount)*$RealWait;

        }

        $StartBurst = time();

      }

      if (!$EnteredValue)  {

        $RecipArray[$RecipIndex][0] =  mysql_fetch_assoc($RecipArray[$RecipIndex][1]);

      }

    }

    $RecipIndex ++;

  }

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Total"] = 0;

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Index"] = 0;

  $_SESSION[$EmailRef."_Remaining"] = 0;

  session_commit();

  session_start();

  if ($GoToPage!="")     {

    header("Location: ".$GoToPage);

  }

}

?>

if this is the block that should trigger if ModuleID 2 is checked, add the following if statement around it:

php:

<?php if(is_array($checked) && in_array("2", $checked)) { ?>

UE CODE BLOCK HERE

<?php } ?>

Hi Jason,

I have another check box with an ID of "Completed" that when ticked and update is pressed, I require an email to be sent.

Given that i have added UE to this, what else would i need code wise to make this form send on update.

Kind regards

Jonathon

assuming that the checked value of the completed check box is "true", you could use code similar to this:

php:

<?php if(isset($_POST['completed']) && $_POST['completed'] == "true") { ?> 

UE CODE BLOCK HERE 

<?php } ?>
