Universal Email server behavior issue - can't add recordset to page.

Universal Email server behavior issue - can't add recordset to page.

In the Universal Email dialog, for the Email Body, I am using Dreamweaver to manage my email body contents. However, when I add a recordset to the DW page that has been created, and save it, the recordset disappears. I need to have a recordset for formatting purposes, as I am also using an Insert Multiple Records server behavior, which is causing formatting issues.

When I click on the DW Edit icon, I see the following message:

"Any change to server side code above the <head> tag (such as new recordsets) must be added to the page containing the Universal Email server behavior."

My question is, should I add the server behavior to the first (main) page, or to this page, just NOT within the head tag? Hope this makes sense.

Thanks!

the recordset should be created on the page that you are adding the universal email behavior to, not the page that you use to define the body.

Okay - thanks. Too much complicated formatting to use the Repeat Selection behavior.

Jason, my insert script is not working. My date fields. It's inserting the date values into the database as 0000-00-00. Here is the code.

<?php
// WA DataAssist Multiple Inserts
if (isset($_POST["submit"]) || isset($_POST["submit_x"])) // Trigger
{
if (!session_id()) session_start();
$WA_loopedFields = array("day_of_week", "cost_code", "job_number", "hours");
$WA_connection = $PowerCMSConnection;
$WA_table = "employee_hours2";
$WA_redirectURL = "";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $WA_redirectURL = $WA_redirectURL?rel2abs($WA_redirectURL,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$WA_keepQueryString = false;
$WA_fieldNamesStr = "employee_name|employee_number|week_starting|week_ending|day_of_week|cost_code|job_number|hours";
$WA_columnTypesStr = "',none,''|',none,''|',none,NULL|',none,NULL|',none,''|',none,''|',none,''|',none,''";
$WA_insertIfNotBlank = "day_of_week";
$WA_fieldNames = explode("|", $WA_fieldNamesStr);
$WA_columns = explode("|", $WA_columnTypesStr);
$WA_connectionDB = $database_PowerCMSConnection;
$WA_multipleInsertCounter = 0;
mysql_select_db($WA_connectionDB, $WA_connection);
while (WA_AB_checkMultiInsertLoopedFieldsExist($WA_loopedFields, $WA_multipleInsertCounter)) {
if ($WA_insertIfNotBlank == "" || WA_AB_checkLoopedFieldsNotBlank(array($WA_insertIfNotBlank), $WA_multipleInsertCounter)) {
$WA_fieldValuesStr = "".((isset($_POST["employee_name"]))?$_POST["employee_name"]:"") ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["employee_number"]))?$_POST["employee_number"]:"") ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["pick-date-start"]))?$_POST["pick-date-start"]:"") ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".((isset($_POST["pick-date-end"]))?$_POST["pick-date-end"]:"") ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".WA_AB_getLoopedFieldValue("day_of_week", $WA_multipleInsertCounter) ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".WA_AB_getLoopedFieldValue("cost_code", $WA_multipleInsertCounter) ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".WA_AB_getLoopedFieldValue("job_number", $WA_multipleInsertCounter) ."" . $WA_AB_Split . "".WA_AB_getLoopedFieldValue("hours", $WA_multipleInsertCounter) ."";
$WA_fieldValues = explode($WA_AB_Split, $WA_fieldValuesStr);
$insertParamsObj = WA_AB_generateInsertParams($WA_fieldNames, $WA_columns, $WA_fieldValues, -1);
$WA_Sql = "INSERT INTO `" . $WA_table . "` (" . $insertParamsObj->WA_tableValues . ") VALUES (" . $insertParamsObj->WA_dbValues . ")";
$MM_editCmd = mysql_query($WA_Sql, $WA_connection) or die(mysql_error());
}
$WA_multipleInsertCounter++;
}
if ($WA_redirectURL != "") {
if ($WA_keepQueryString && $WA_redirectURL != "" && isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] !== "" && sizeof($_POST) > 0) {
$WA_redirectURL .= ((strpos($WA_redirectURL, '?') === false)?"?":"&").$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];
}
header("Location: ".$WA_redirectURL);
}
}
?>

dates need to be co\nverted to yyyy-mm-dd h:i:s format in order to be stored in a my sql database


in the insert behavior, when you select the binding for a data column, the code will look like:

<?php ((isset($_POST["pick-date-start"]))?$_POST["pick-date-start"]:""); ?>


you need to edit that to format the date:
<?php ((isset($_POST["pick-date-start"]))?date("Y-m-d h:i:s", strtotime($_POST["pick-date-start"])):""); ?>

I'm using the WA Date Picker. What if I format the date to be yyyy/mm/dd to begin with? Will that work?

No, when the date goes into the database, it needs to be in the format:
yyyy-mm-dd h:i:s

use the code example i provided to format the selected date to the format that will be accepted by the mySQL server.

Why doesn't the WA insert extension do that for us? Can this be on the wish list? After all, it only works with PHP now, so can that be built in as a default date format? :D

It is not a feature of the insert behavior.


feel free to add a product suggestion to our suggestions page:

but for now, you will have to do it manually.
