Custom Emails

[Ernst]

In JIWA7 we had plugins for adjusting the email subject message etc e.g. "Sales Order Custom Email,Purchase Order Custom Email" DO we have any similar ones in JIWA8?

No, a plugin could do that, but we thought with the Email Templates you wouldn't need a plugin to do that - the template you select does that instead.

OK I see I guess that works well, So once you select a template then it remembers it for next time.
We had quite a few scheduled emails also. e.g. to send Invoices each night, or to send out reports. See attached example.
Would this still work in JIWA8, Having trouble with Plugin.Manager.ResetReportSelectionFormulaTokens, and Plugin.Manager.AddReportSelectionFormulaToken

EmailReportDirect now wants a couple of dictionary parameters - ReportFormulas and ReportReplacementTokens - here is the signature:

Code: Select all

public void EmailReportDirect(JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Report.Configuration.Report Report, string From, string EmailTo, string Subject, string CC, string BCC, string Message, string NameToGiveAttachment, ref string EM_Main_RecID, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string> ReportFormulas = null, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string, string> ReportReplacementTokens = null, bool RequestReadReceipt = false, string SourceID = "", string SourceType = "", string SourceDisplayNo = "", JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.clsSearch.SearchModes SourceDrillDownIndex = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.JiwaSearch.clsSearch.SearchModes.jswUnknown, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.JiwaReportProvider.ExportFormats ExportFormatType = JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.JiwaReportProvider.ExportFormats.PortableDocFormat, string SY_Forms_ClassName = "")

So instead of:

Code: Select all

Plugin.Manager.AddReportSelectionFormulaToken("{@PASS_FromAcc}", emailCandidate.DebtorStart)

You will want to create a dictionary for either or both ReportFormulas and ReportReplacementTokens, set the values and pass to the EmailReportDirect method.

ReportFormulas is for replacing the Crystal Report entirely with the provided value, ReportReplacementTokens will inspect formulas and replace parts of the formula matching the token key with the corresponding value.

From the look of your plugin, you're wanting to just set Crystal Formula contents, not a token replacement, so to just create a formula dictionary and add some values and pass that to EmailReportDirect, you would do:

Code: Select all

Dim formulas As New Dictionary(Of String, String)
formulas["{@PASS_FromAcc}"] = emailCandidate.DebtorStart ' Just setting a dictionary value will add it, or replace it if already present - no need to formally use Add
formulas["{@PASS_ToAcc}"] = emailCandidate.DebtorEnd
// And so on
Plugin.Manager.EmailReportDirect(reportToEmail, "admin@accent-tools.co.nz", emailCandidate.EmailAddress, message, emailCandidate.CCEmailAddress, "", message, FileName, EM_Main_RecID, formulas, null, "", False, sourceID, sourceType, sourceDisplayNo, sourceDrillDownIndex, exportFormatType);
