This tutorial will walk you through the process of creating a form that a user can fill out, the results are inserted into a database and a personalized mail is send to the user based on a template. I am using a url parameter to pass the user's name to the template page that is send to the user by mail.
I created a pdf file of this tutorial. You can download it by clicking on the Code Download link in the blue properties box.
No attachments added for this tutorial.
There are four components: CDO (WinXP/Win2000), CDONTS (NT4/Win2000), JMail and ASPEmail.
Select
the Server Component you are using. I unchecked the option Ignore errors
so if the mail does not go through there will be an error message.
Click the OK button to apply the Smart Mailer extension. A message box will appear that the files incSmartMailer.asp have been copied into your scriptlibrary folder. Make sure you upload the file to the server.
To
be able to insert records into your database, open the Insert Record
behavior from the Server Behaviors panel.
My Connection is called test, table users.
In
the mail.asp page we now need to add the code that will display the user's
name. Open the appropriate page.
Go to the Bindings panel, click on the + sign and select Request
Variable. This time select the Request.Querystring and enter name.
Put your cursor after the salutation Dear and go to Server Behaviors | Dynamic
Text
Select the QueryString.name and click OK.
Your
page will look like this.
Save your page and that is it.
