Question

I m using the Symfony 1.4 mailer where I build the various bits needed for an email and then send it out using:

$this->getMailer()->composeAndSend($sender, $recipient, $subject, $body);

In the email body, I need to able to take advantage of variables generated in the action, so right now I might have this in my action:

$body =  Your username is  .$username.  and this is the email body. ;

Does anyone know of an elegant way of storing/organising various email bodies, instead of having to code them like this straight into my action? I will have many email templates and will also have them in multiple languages.

I ve found an old Askeet tutorial discussing this but it seems somewhat out of date with the new symfony 1.4 integration of SwiftMailer, and SwiftMailer documentation itself isn t very clear on this.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I store the email bodies as a template file and render them via sfPartialView. E.g. inside an action:

$view = new sfPartialView($this->getContext(), $this->getModuleName(), $this->getActionName(),  confirmation_mail );
$view->setTemplate( _confirmation_mail.php );

// values can be set e.g. by setAttibute
$view->setAttribute( name , $name);

$body = $view->render()

The body templates are located in the module s template folder, but I am sure you can somehow change this and e.g. put all email templates into one folder if you want to.

Answer 2

How about just using the native method availible inside sfAction.

$this->getPartial( partial_name ); which works like the partial helpers for you templates.
