Article Template General Info:
An Article Template can be created by using the placeholder functions listed below. By including these placeholders in the body or the brief (within the EmailSubject tag) of the article it will allow customized article content. The article templates then can be used as templates for scheduled task emails. Information from the database for a particular member will be substituted for the placeholders in the form of html tables, links and strings of data.

An Article Template must have a HelpTag. This is how a scheduled task or other application will find it. If the Article Template is to be used as the content of an email (as part of a Scheduled Task, for instance) then it should also have an Email Subject. Both of these should be put into the 'Brief' section in the form of an Html comment. The HelpTag should always be before the Email Subject. Example:
<--EMAIL_SUBJECT:Article Template Test-->

A placeholder should be put into the article body in the form of an Html comment. Example :

Placeholders can be put into the EmailSubject also. Example :
-->

If the Article Template is not being used for an email then the Email Subject is not necessary.

An Article Template may use a Style Sheet. A Style Sheet should be put at the beginning of the body of the template.

Once the Article Template is saved it can be tested or displayed by entering a memberid and email address in the Article Template section below. By clicking on the 'Test Email' button an email with all the placeholders substituted (based on the memberid entered) will be sent to the address entered in the email address textbox.

General Usage Article Template Placeholders
These placeholders are general purpose and can be used with any Article Template.

1. : Returns a string. Will return a URL in the form of an HTML comment to be used at the top of an email. The string is a link to the front end display page and is for email recipients who use email applications that do not interpret HTML. Example: http://www.auntminnie.com/index.aspx?sec=atd&sub=atd1&memid=image009

2. : Returns a string. Will return the sitename (without the .com). Example: AuntMinnie

3. : Returns a string. Will return a URL for the email recipient to unsubscribe from this particular email reminder. The URL brings the user to the E-mail Options/Insider List section of the Registration page where the user will be able to uncheck an item and unsubscribe from the e-mail.
Example: http://www.auntminnie.com/index.aspx?sec=etn&sub=atd&memid=image009

4. : Returns a string. Returns the member CN based on memberid or current login.

5. : Returns 1 carriage return in the html. This can be used to format the HTML of an e-mail for recipients who are using non-HTML e-mail applications.

6. ProcessText placeholders : There are two placeholders -

and
that may be used for processing text input in an Article Template. The latter takes any carriage returns in the text and substitutes an HTML line break (
) to retain formatting for HTML display. The code that is using the Article Template (asp page, aspx page, exe, etc.) must, when calling the Article Template substitution engine, include all text strings to be processed in the additional parameters hash that is the last parameter of the overloaded function. The key/value pairs would be added to the hashtable in the form of

hshAdditionalParams.Add("strText1",VariableThatContainsTextforStrText1) hshAdditionalParams.Add("strText2",VariableThatContainsTextforStrText2) hshAdditionalParams.Add("strText3",VariableThatContainsTextforStrText3)

IMPORTANT: The key value (such as ‘strText1’ above) must match the placeholder name (like ) in the Article Template. It is possible to have as many ProcessText placeholders in an Article Template as you wish.
