Tell a Friend about a Course (SendFriend.txt)
If organizations are using the Tell a Friend about this Course option, the Tell a Friend about a Course email is sent to the user specified email addresses (emails entered on the SendFriend.htm). To activate the Tell a Friend about a Course template, the SendFriend.txt file must be placed in the same directory that contains your HTML template files (i.e. wconnect/ace). You must also:
- Place a link on the XCourseStatus.htm page which calls the SendFriend routine (i.e. /SendFriend.awp?&Course=##tCourse.cocrse##).
- You may edit the email text (i.e. "At the suggestion of", "Here's a complete description", etc.). However, do not edit the template tags. They must remain as entered on the template or they will not work properly.
Tell a Friend about a Course Template Tags
The Tell a Friend about a Course template is formatted as an HTML page and uses the following HTML tags:
<%= oName.FullName() %> |
Inserts the name of the user sending the email. Since this tag pulls information from the user's Name record, the user must log into the ACEweb system before he/she can access the SendFriend.htm page. |
<%= oCourse.odata.cocrsenm %> |
Inserts the course name. |
<%= oCat.Descript() %> |
Inserts the Catalog description of the course. |
<%= config.cSenderName %> |
Includes the Sender Name from the SenderName INI setting in the ACEweb.ini as part of the email signature. |
<%= config.cHelpPhone %> |
Includes the Help Phone from the HelpPhone INI setting in the ACEweb.ini as part of the email signature. |
<%= config.cSenderEmail %> |
Includes the Sender Email from the SenderEmail INI setting in the ACEweb.ini as part of the email signature. |
<%-End-%> |
Tells ACEweb where the email message text ends. Only text and template tags placed above the ##-END-## tag will be included in the email. |
