is any way in CFML send cfmail not code but rather a page.cfm

[123polis123]

is any way in CFML send cfmail not code but rather a page.cfm... one way is convert page.cfm (and server side code) to code lines and append in cfmail? if yes, how this? or any other way for first?

[pete_freitag]

Not sure if this is what you are asking, but you might try: <cfmail ...><cfinclude template="page.cfm"></cfmail>

[BKBK]

Just send it as a string-valued variable, for example

<cfset myString = '<cfset x=1>
<cfset y="two">
<cfdocument format="PDF" name="test">
test pdf
</cfdocument>'>

<cfmail>
<cfoutput>#myString#</cfoutput>
</cfmail>

It's not clear what you're asking.  But here's another couple of interpretations:

1) do you mean email the actual code?  In which case read the file with <cffile> and output it with htmlCodeFormat() in the mail body.

2) or do you mean send the HTML that one would get if one browsed to http://yourdomain/page.cfm?  In which case use <cfhttp> to browse to it and capture the HTML, and then use that as your body.

3) try to explain your requirements again... 😉

<cfmail ...><cfinclude template="page.cfm"></cfmail>

is it the easiest method...?

well I mean html code of email message be the page.cfm code LIKE put the html&cfm code inside cfmail tags... well?

I do NOT mean insert to email message the html code so recipient of email read the code ....

it will work for this the include or NOT cfml vars needed in #var# not actual cfml from scratch?

[Adam Cameron.]

OK, I understand what you need now.

If you want to send in the email what a person would see if they browsed to http://yourdomain/page.cfm, then you have to <cfhttp> it, you cannot simply include it.  Because the two are rather different processes.

<cfmail from="

ayyyyy@cytanet.com.cy" subject="Confirmation" to="ayyyyy@cytanet.com.cy "> <cfhttp url="notify.cfm"/></cfmail>

I used this but getting an empty body email message...

[Adam Cameron.]

Ask yourself the question... does <cfhttp> output anything?

[123polis123]

well as (5 reply) suggest use cfhttp, to appear in email body not code, but what you see if you browse to notify.cfm, well how handle? I get confused in Adobe cf doc cfhttp...

[Adam Cameron.]

I get confused in Adobe cf doc cfhttp...

In what way?

<cfhttp> gets the CF server to perform an HTTP request (so like a browser hitting the page).  <cfhttp> returns a struct with a bunch of keys in it, reflecting the result of the request: and one of the keys returns to HTML from the request.

Have you experimented making a <cfhttp> call, and are having difficulty getting it to work?

I experimented and failed , how handle if page returned in email is yyy.cfm? may be and yyy.html if no cfm vars in?

[philmunro]

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, you have to "read" the file by cfhttp, then assigns the content returned to a variable.

Then output this variable in your cfmail tag.

If the CFHTTP is not returning anything, then you need to look at why not.

Or maybe, you can use...

<cfsavecontent variable="theHTML">

     <cfinclude template="thePage.cfm">

</cfsavecontent>

and use "theHTML" as a variable in your email.

This might only work depending upon how you're doing things.

[123polis123]

<cfmail from="ggggg@cytanet.com.cy" subject="Confirmation" to="gggg@cytanet.com.cy">
<cfsavecontent variable="theHTML">
     <cfinclude template="index.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>
<cfoutput>#theHTML#</cfoutput>
</cfmail>

i try but rather content shows code in email of index.cfm, but after 25cm of white vertical space...

[philmunro]

This is because you are probably not making much use of and so

cldfusion is displaying every whitespace character it processes.

As a way around this, surround it with...

#trim(the_variable_with_lots_of_whitespace)#

that should work

Also put the <cfsavecontent...> block outside the mail tag, so the white space around that code is not part of the e-mail message.  EVERYTHING between the opening <cfmail...> tag and the closing </cfmail> tag, including whitespace, is going to be part of the e-mail body.

<cfsavecontent variable="theHTML">
     <cfinclude template="index.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>

<cfmail from="ggggg@cytanet.com.cy" subject="Confirmation" to="gggg@cytanet.com.cy"><cfoutput>#trim(theHTML)#</cfoutput></cfmail>

[123polis123]

shows below with eight smaller boxes 7px square about at the top, space and after the html....boxes can not copied  

used:

<cfsavecontent variable="theHTML">
     <cfinclude template="index.cfm">
</cfsavecontent>

<cfmail from="nnn@cytanet.com.cy" subject="Confirmation" to="nnn@cytanet.com.cy"><cfoutput>#trim(theHTML)#</cfoutput></cfmail>

At some point you will probably be wanting to set the type attribute of cfmail to html.  Now seems as good a time as ever.

[123polis123]

worked with type="html"
