Re^2: Template Toolkit: Output one template to Sendmail, another to browser?

Thanks.

I like the sounds of this:

A third parameter may be passed to the process() method to specify a different output location. This value may be one of: ..... a reference to a scalar... to which output/error is appended;

So if I understand this correctly, I can do

$template->process($template_file, $vars, $email_content)
|| die "Template process failed: ", $template->error(), "\n";
[download]

And TT will send the output to $email_content instead of to STDOUT. Then I can

send_html_mail($to, $from, $subject, $email_content);
[download]

Yes?

You've almost got it. Your call to process should be: `$template->process($template_file, $vars, \$email_content) \|\| die "Template process failed: ", $template->error(), "\n";` [download] Notice the slash before `$email_content`. It creates a scalar reference that the manual says is required for the behaviour that you want. -- Clayton	[reply] [d/l]

Yep, that did it. Got me email template by email, and my confirmation template returned to browser. Thanks.	[reply]
