[suggestion] Valadation Email Text Box

Just a suggestion,

But why not offer a couple of choices for the validation rejection email (I currently cut and past each time I reject to offer the exact reason for rejection):

Current setup uses the email-del.txt template...

[ ] Validate [ ] Delete witout Reason [ ] Delete and Email Reason

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Email-del message in here

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What I am suggesting is a couple of options which are defined in the language file which would be auto inserted into the rejection email template for reasons (tags):

[ ] Validate [ ] Delete witout Reason [ ] Delete and Email Reason

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Email-del message in here

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[X] Reason Text A
[X] Reason Text B
[X] Reason Text C
[X] Reason Text D
[X] Reason Text E
[X] Reason Text F

etc.....

Couldn't that be done with a javascript snippet??

I've wanted something like that, and you could set your default messages in the Admin area, and depending on which radio button you picked, you got a different message in the browser (it's only text, so holding it in a javascript array is trivial).

You could put them all in hidden fields then do something like:

Code:
<input type="radio" name="reason" value="You suck!" onclick="document.form.textarea.value=this.value;">

Obviously change form.textarea to the name of the rejection form field.

Thanks for the comment guys.

I think GT should include this in the base program, so anyone could use it right off...but I'll change it in my own for now.

Re: [Ian] [suggestion] Valadation Email Text Box In reply to

That's a good idea. Mind sending me the code for that when you're done?

Not to cramp your coding style, but I was thinking something like this could be done:

The plugin or global would first look for a number of email templates with a strict filenaming syntax. Something like, link_denied_yourfilename.txt and with a regex and opendir you can pull all the filenames out.

Pull the files out and for each entry, parse the possible email with GT::Template

Then create a number of radiobuttons on the validate screen with the javascript code to fill the textarea.

Code:
sub { 

my $dir    = %CFG->{admin_root_path} . '/templates/' . $CFG->{build_default_tpl}; 
my @reject = (); 

opendir DIR, $dir or die $!; 
while (defined ( my $reject = grep { /\.reject$/ } readdir(DIR) )) { 
      open FILE, "$dir/$reject" or die $!; 
      $reason = <FILE>; 
      close FILE; 
      $output .= qq|<input type="radio" name="reason" value="$reason" onclick="form.field.value=this.value;">|; 
} 
closedir DIR; 

return $output; 
}

Well there is some code...you'd just name the rejection emails blah.reject

I took a look at the template but everything is stored in <%output%> plus the form doesn't have a name which is needed for the radio clicking.
