XAO::DO::Web::Mailer - executes given template and sends results via e-mail
<%Mailer to="foo@somehost.com" from="bar@otherhost.com" subject="Your order '<%ORDER_ID/f%>' has been shipped" text.path="/bits/shipped-mail-text" html.path="/bits/shipped-mail-html" ORDER_ID="<%ORDER_ID/f%>" %>
Displays nothing, just sends message.
Arguments are:
to => e-mail address of the recepient; default is taken from userdata->email if defined. cc => optional e-mail addresses of secondary recepients from => optional 'from' e-mail address, default is taken from 'from' site configuration parameter. subject => message subject; [text.]path => text-only template path (required); html.path => html template path; ARG => VALUE - passed to Page when executing templates;
If 'to', 'from' or 'subject' are not specified then get_to(), get_from() or get_subject() methods are called first. Derived class may override them. 'To' and 'cc' may be comma-separated addresses lists.
THe configuration for Web::Mailer is kept in a hash stored in the site configuration under 'mailer' name. Normally it is not required, the default is to use sendmail for delivery. The parameters are:
method => either 'local' or 'smtp' agent => server name for `smtp' or binary path for `local' from => either a hash reference or a scalar with the default `from' address.
If `from' is a hash reference then the content of `from' argument to the object is looked in keys and the value is used as actual `from' address. This can be used to set up rudimentary aliases:
<%Mailer ... from="customer_support" ... %> mailer => { from => { customer_support => 'support@foo.com', technical_support => 'tech@foo.com', }, ... }
In that case actual from address will be `support@foo.com'. By default if `from' in the configuration is a hash and there is no `from' parameter for the object, `default' is used as the key.
No publicly available methods except overriden display().
Nothing.
