Hi All,
I'm trying to modify the files: email-invite.tpl and email-register.tpl located in styles/templates/campaign. At the top of these pages, there is hand-coded data that displays static information such as FT.node.uid. How can we access this from the database itself? Even FT.node isn't displaying any data. I've been trying but unsuccessful so far, can someone help?
Mr. A
when the email is generated inside the application via a web request, it should populate those variables with the right values. try reverting the .tpl files back to the way they came, and then send some emails through the web software. do they look right?
Hey Mike,
I reverted both of the files from the original forwardtrack-1.1b.tar.gz and has the same code. The email-register.tpl has this as the following on top of the page:
{if $FT.preview}
{assign_adv base="FT" var="person" value="array('fname' => 'JOHN', 'lname' => 'DOE', 'email' => 'JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM', 'zip' => 10011)"}
{assign_adv base="FT" var="node" value="array('uid' => 'FAKE_USER', 'depth' => 6, 'name' => 'JOHN', 'place' => 10011)"}
{/if}
This is just static code and fake information. In place of the actual node.uid (which is needed for the links on the page), it uses FAKE_USER and if one were to click on the link, then it ends up with errors on page saying "That's a Bogus Node!" and notes that CampaignApp.class.php has and error along with dispatch.php as Array [type] being blank.
Any other ideas?
Mr. A
yes, this is fake data for the sake of _previewing_. go ahead and make a submission in the system thru the actual web software, as if you were registering for a campaign. when you do that, it should automatically send the email with correct data, from the DB
you are totally fucking insane. i went to your installation and both registered for the campaign and invited myself to join, and the emails were perfectly templated. eg:

thanks,

Even after you make a submission through the web software, the same results show. After you register for a campaign, you get the thank you letter. The links to 1)track your impact, 2)invite more friends, 3)send your friends still have the fake user at the end of the URL string.
ahh, you never said this before. this is weird behavior. what version of php are you using? is it a CGI or an apache_module?
I'm using PHP version 4.3.2 ; as an apache module.
can i see your install on the web?
Is it ok if I send you the url via email? I do not want to post it on here where it is public. I will continue posting valuable information relevant to solving this issue.
paranoid!
sent it to my sourceforge address: fruminator@users.sourceforge.net
I'm partially insane. I've been pointing out to the wrong file! Ahh! Ok, I meant to say on the admin page: http://xxxxxxxxx/forwardtrack/admin , you will see the list of campaigns. Then it lists the following for each campaign:
Campaign Name
Campaign: view, edit, delete
Preview: invitation, registration
Data: export, mapped, statistics
Once you click on Preview Invitation or Registration it will take you to another page, which I haven't figured out the name yet. On this page (which looks the same as the email you receive), each of the links will have FAKE_USER at the end of the URL. This is what I wanted to ask about. So sorry for the confusion, i've been looking at the incorrect file myself.
I'm going to try myself to fix this as well, but if you know, it would be quicker.
Thanks again Mike,
Mr. A
no fucking shit it says FAKE_USER, that's why its called the _preview_ page. if you really want it to be different, edit those values you have been pointing out so many times at the top of the .tpl files.
OH my fault. I thought it would grab info on the last person that registers and display the invite and preview there. Don't know why I thought that but, should of asked before starting the thread.
Thanks for the help Mike,
Mr. A
no problem, though that's not a bad idea. please let us know if/when you launch the campaign.
We sure will Mike.
