[TYPO3-english] Direct Mail

[Piers temp account]

Hi all,

I've got two issues happening with Direct Mail (2.6.2, on Typo3  
4.2.2).. The first is simple, it's that attachments are not being sent  
with emails when I use the Quick Mail option. Am I missing something?  
There don't seem to be any posts on the archive about this. I can't  
check whether it works for the Internal Page option, because...

The second issue is that of 'Html content could not be fetched. Plain  
text content could not be fetched'. I got this before when I deleted  
some old direct mails using the list module. I (think I) fixed it by  
deleting them completely from the database. This time I had a load of  
unsent test emails I wanted to delete, so I went straight into  
phpmyadmin and deleted them, to avoid this happening again. However,  
the error message started coming up again. I'm considering wiping all  
the direct mails from the relevant table and starting again, but it  
would be good to know what the problem actually is.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Piers

I think my problem with attachments is with PATH_site not being  
returned properly. This affected something else for me as well before.  
I think the relevant lines of code are:

while(list(,$theName)=each($attachmentArr)) {
                                $theFile = PATH_site.$upath.'/'.$theName;
                                if (@is_file($theFile)) {
                                        $htmlmail->addAttachment($theFile, $theName);
                                }
                        }

I've tried substituting PATH_site for absolute and relative urls with  
no success. Any hints?

Hi Steffen, remember me? I got there in the end last time, thanks for  
your help.

I've got an SSL certificate, but it's not being used on the site, no.

The 'Html content could not be fetched. Plain text content could not  
be fetched' issue solved itself somehow, eventually.

It might just be me, but I think there's no code to include the  
attachments in quickmail. Attachments go fine in normal internal page  
messages, so I created a very plain template and am going to use that.  
I'm sure that the documentation said you could attach files in  
quickmail mode. Never mind. Problem solved.

Also, for anyone out there searching for how to configure plain text  
messages with Direct Mail and TEMPLAVOILA, good luck.
I did this, using the newer “Direct Mail Plain Text” static template:

1. Create a new basic TO and map it to my email DS.
2. Specify it as printer-friendly under the properties (click on  
pencil to see)
3. Wrap this code round the main templavoila call in the main site  
template setup, so it looks like this:

[globalVar = GP:print > 0]
   tt_content < plugin.tx_directmail_pi1
[end]

#DEFAULT PAGE OBJECT
page=PAGE
page.typeNum = 0
page.10 = USER
page.10.userFunc = tx_templavoila_pi1->main

[globalVar = GP:print > 0]
    config.disableAllHeaderCode = 1
  [end]

4. In the email template DS, change this sort of line: 10.wrap = <!--
TYPO3SEARCH_begin--> | <!--TYPO3SEARCH_end-->
to this: 10.wrap =  |
(the plaintext machine doesn't strip these out by itself)

5. In Direct Mail, change the Configuration module, plain text  
parameters to &print=1

6. Bingo. I don't know what happens if you use subscription /  
unsubscribe parts, as I had had enough by then. (My users can  
unsubscribe in a different way)

I hope this is of use to someone.

Just as it was all working and I was about to smugly send out my  
email, it was back -

The plain text content could not be fetched.
The HTML content could not be fetched.

Does anyone know where this comes from?

Have you tried clearing FE-Cache? Try to preview the page before
fetching it. If there's only white page in preview, try clearing FE-Cache.

As far as I can remember, attachment will not be sent in quickmail mode.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the reply. Previews work fine - it fixed itself again. For  
the quickmail and attachments, it says in the documentation you can do  
it: http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/extension-manuals/direct_mail/2.6.2/view/3/3/

Maybe this should be changed?

Cheers,

Piers
