Data Assist 2 Send Email with Dynamic Data

Data Assist 2 Send Email with Dynamic Data

I don't see an option to include dynamic data from a Recordset into the new Data Assist 2 Send Email interface. Is there a way to edit in Dreamweaver as before or has that gone away?

If gone, is there a recommended way to manually code the template to include dynamic record from a Recordset?

The new interface always uses a separate php page for the body. You can open that page and add recordsets and other dynamic data directly. If you want to reference a recordset from the page where the email is applied, you just have to declare it as a global variable on the top of the email body page like:

<?php
global $Recordset;
?>

If you have a specific example of what you are doing I can help with the steps, but it depends on the data you are adding and what is on the original page already. Give it a try and send me the files if you get stuck and I can help you update them.

I've tried using <?php global $rsAppraisal; ?> but it doesn't work. The Recordset on the page where the email is applied is dependent on $_GET['ID'] being present to choose the proper row.Is this causing the issue?

GET variables are always global and available, so that wouldn't be the issue. I'd have to take a look at the pages and get a better description of what you are or aren't seeing to debug why it might not be working.

I've attached the page which contains the Recordset called $rsAppraisal (edit_appraisal.php) and the email template page (waue_edit_appraisal_1_body.php).

The email is getting sent it just isn't grabbing the ID from $rsAppaisal

Thanks!

It should be:
global $row_rsAppraisal;

Since that is what you are referencing in the body.
