Re: [ebmail-develop] How to validate data entered into the template

[Anthony K. <an...@al...>]

Hi Sena,

do you mean template of generated XML (as you see in "payload")?
There is no XML templates in ebMail. before, I also thought it has.
You could modify Java codes in sample plugin (which is a bit time
consuming) to make your own XML structure and also modify the client
interface - add input validation as you wish, and save/download the XML.

hope that help.
