We use PloneFormGen 1.7.12 using Plone 4.3.3. I have a request to include the current data in the email that the form is sending. We normally give editors access to the data to download, but the people he wants to send these to are not editors and I don't want to give them editor's permissions.
If it can't be added to the mailer, I guess I could create a role and give it just enough permissions for an authenticated user to download data. Would it work to copy the authenticated permissions over to a new role and add the PloneFormGen: Download Saved Input permission as well? I really don't like creating extra roles. In addition we would need to set up accounts for these people.
AFAIK not without coding :-)
Create a new DataSaveAdapter content type
Best way ist to inherit from the existing one and add a new field:
from Products.PloneFormGen.content.saveDataAdapter import FormSaveDataAdapter
SendDataAdapterSchema = FormSaveDataAdapter.schema.copy() + atapi.Schema((
atapi.StringField(
name='csv_recipients',
required=False,
widget=atapi.LinesWidget(
label=_(u'label_csv_recipients', default=u'CSV recipients'),
)
)
))
class SendDataAdapter(FormSaveDataAdapter):
implements(IPloneFormGenActionAdapter)
...
schema = SendDataAdapterSchema
...
The SaveDataAdapter provides a onSuccess method, where you can hook in and send your email
class SendDataAdapter(FormSaveDataAdapter):
...
def onSuccess(self, fields, REQUEST=None, loopstop=False):
""" saves input data and initiates mail"""
super(SendDataAdapter, self).onSuccess(fields, REQUEST, loopstop)
self.send_csv() # This is where you may implement sending the email.
Of course it needs some work to get it done (registering content type, etc.), but this should point you in the right direction.
Not really sure about your requirements, but in case you want to send the single-record in CSV-format as a mail when a form is submitted, you can customize the template of the mailer-adapter, like this:
<tal:block repeat="field options/wrappedFields | nothing">
"<span tal:replace="structure python:field.htmlValue(request)" />",
</tal:block>
Note, that this only works, if the mail's format is HTML, in plain text tal:repeat comes in the way, adding linebreaks between the values.
If you want to give a group of users permissions to view and download a save-adapter, go to PFG's controlpanel (append /prefs_pfg_permits to the site's URL), where it says "Download Saved Input" check the box for "Reader", then assign "Can edit"-permissioins via the sharing-tab of your save-adapter to the users and groups you want to be privileged.

I would like to understand better Firebase Dynamic Links because i am very new to this subject.
What i would like to know :
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() is supposed to return "only" the last dynamic link created with the "initial" url (before it was shorten) ?
Or why FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() doesn't take a String url as a parameter ?
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getDynamicLink(String url) doesn't read custom parameters if the url was shorten, so how can we retrieve custom parameters from a shorten link ?
My use case is quite simple, i am trying to share an object through messages in my application, so i want to save the dynamic link in my database and be able to read it to run a query according to specific parameters.
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() returns the link that opened the app and if the app was not opened by a dynamic link, then it will return null.
Future<PendingDynamicLinkData?> getInitialLink()
Attempts to retrieve the dynamic link which launched the app.
This method always returns a Future. That Future completes to null if
there is no pending dynamic link or any call to this method after the
the first attempt.
https://pub.dev/documentation/firebase_dynamic_links/latest/firebase_dynamic_links/FirebaseDynamicLinks/getInitialLink.html
FirebaseDynamicLinks.instance.getInitialLink() does not accept a string url as parameter because it is just meant to return the link that opened the app.
Looks like there's no straightforward answer to getting the query parameters back from a shortened link. Take a look at this discussion to see if any of the workarounds fit your use case.
How to send post data in meteor.go . I have tried parameters and query parameters to send the data but the data is displayed with the url .
Is there any way to send post data ?Currently i am using this
`Router.go('smsVerification', {mobile_no:options.mobile_no});
The short answer to this is that you can't use Iron Router, the Session variable, or a client-only Collection to accomplish this. An easy -- but inelegant -- way around this is to persist the data to the server. You can add a handler to whatever button or link sends the user to that page to store the data you want to store -- probably directly to the users Collection -- then read that data back out on the page they're being linked to. If you wanted to be really fancy about it you could add something that, when the user logs in or out, deletes this information.
I have a form that has some optional fields but if a user doesn't fill them out the label of the input will be sent in the email and they will be empty. so for example if a user doesn't enter a city field the email will say City:
Is there a way to set conditionals where if a user doesn't enter optional fields the label wont be sent?

Short answer: yes, but.
Long answer: Wpcf7 has events for on send and others that you can hook into to extract and manipulate the data it has at the time. It's not a well documented aspect of the plug in, because it's really intended for the developer themselves to use, but you can write add_hook commands into your functions . php file and then use your own functions to change the output.
I think the send hook is called "wpcf7_send" so you can write a function like this:
function beforesend($obj) {
//manipulation of message here
}
add_hook('wpcf7_send', 'beforesend');
It's only a starting point but by exploring a bit you can find the hook names, and class structures you need.
I currently have a registration form for people to signup and pick a date for an "appointment". They get sent an e-mail right after filling it up with the details. I need another e-mail to be sent a day before their chosen date to remind them, but that can't be fulfilled by plugins I currently have.
Does anyone know of any Wordpress plug-in that allows the sending of an e-mail message (with a template and user specific data) based on a specified date?
Any piece of information or advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
How I would approach this would be with Wordpresses event scheduling. When a user submits the form to schedule their appointment, set a new action for the reminder email:
// Set this when you send the confirmation email
// Set the $unix_timestamp to be whenever you want the reminder to be sent.
// Args can be an array of the data you will need. Such as the users email/appt date
$args = array(
'email' => 'email#email.com'
);
wp_schedule_single_event($unix_timestamp, 'set_reminder', $args);
Now we have to catch that, and create a function to actually create and send the email (assuming you use a similar process):
add_action('set_reminder','do_reminder');
function do_reminder($args) {
// $email = $args['email'], etc.
// send reminder email.
}
I recommend Wysija Newsletters. You http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wysija-newsletters/. You can use template and user specific data in your email with this plugin.
If you are comfortable with writing your own code(I guess you are more or less ok with that), you can use the WordPress Schedule API(okay, maybe that's not the official name, but it works). Basically it's kind of a cron-job, but for WordPress. It has one downside though - it will only trigger on time, if WordPress is rendered(in other words accessed, so that it's code will execute). That can be easily fixed by adding a simple cron-job to your hosting account, that will simply access your home page every X hours.
You can find useful information on the API here.
Basically what you should have inside of your scheduled function is to get the records of people that should be sent reminder emails(you should probably store additional information about whether a reminder email has been sent or not) and send them the emails. I don't know what is the way you're storing the information from the registration form, but if you are using a Custom Post Type, then things should be pretty easy for you.
My question is quite simple (i think) but cannot find the right module for that.
I'm working on a small classified website in which i have a bunch of nodes. I display them using views.
I'd like for any (authenticated with role) user of the website to be able to click on a kind of button like "I'm interested" which will trigger an event doing various actions like 'changing one cck field' on that content-type and also send an e-mail to the author of the classified.
Pretty straight forward but no clue on where to start, which module should i use ?
For this, you can use the Flag Module and Rules Module
In your view, you can create a relationship to flags to allow the use of other 'fields'.
Using Rules, create a new rule that is triggered when a node is flagged (or unflagged). Rules allows you to do both: changing a CCK field and sending out emails when an event occurs.
Walk-through:
Install and enable the Flag Module and Rules Module
Create a new flag at "admin/build/flags"
Edit/Create you classified view, add a relationship to Flags: Node Flag and choose > the name of the flag you just created.
Under "fields" add Flags: Flag link and configure as you like
Add a new rule at "admin/rules/trigger/add" for the event A node has been flagged,
under "FLAG NAME"
Add action to perform of Populate a field under the heading CCK
Add action to perform of Send a mail to a user under the heading System
and configure your desired settings.
Then when a user clicks the "interested" flag a field will be populated and email sent.
