ASPRunnerPro General questions

Been eval'ing ASPRunner for a couple of weeks and I see many uses I will be able to use it for once I purchase it. One important thing I have not been able to figure out is this......
When a user fills out a form and the data is submitted, I would like to have an email be sent back to the user. I want it sent to whatever email that is filled out in the form. The email could be different each time so I can not do the "simple email on page add" which is a hard coded email.
My application will be a website where team will register for different events, and I want them to get a copy of their entry sent back to them, I want a copy sent to my email address, and I want anyone else that visits the website to be able to do a list to see who has already registered.
Some advise would be appreciated.

Larry,
you can do it using Send email with new data event.

Function BeforeAdd(dict)

message =""

keys = dict.keys

For n = 0 To dict.Count-1

message = message & keys(n) & " : " & dict(keys(n)) & vbcrlf

Next

email=dict("entered_mail")

email1="admin@test.com"

subject="New data record"

sendmail email, subject, message

sendmail email1, subject, message

End Function



where entered_mail is field name, which user type his own email in.

So you can make list with registered team using Search or Advanced Search.

Works so far although I hear some do not go through for some reason.
What I was wondering is there any way to send the email with formated text? Either html or spaced so it would be easier to read?

Hi,
to add html to your email:

  1. add html tags to email text
  2. build your project
  3. open include/commonfunctions.asp file, find Sendmail function and replace

myMail.TextBody= message



with

myMail.HtmlBody= message

O.k. Too fast for me. The email being sent is the new data added to the table. All I really want is the same html style as the view the see. Where do I find the email test to add html tags to?

Alan,
the message text is in message variable in the code I provided before for BeforeAdd event.

I.e. to add
tags modify the code like this:

For n = 0 To dict.Count-1

message = message & keys(n) & " : " & dict(keys(n)) & "
"
